Qajack {kwa-jack}
Qajack uses video to play with what you know and what you want to know. It’s deliberately simple, no profiles to fill out, just login and play.
How does it actually work?
Qajack combines competition, ie gameplay and reward with information exchange, ie questions and answers.
How? Simple: Qajack is all video and it's a game.
You can ask anything and answer anything by webcam! Each video capture is a maximum of 60 seconds long to keep the game flowing. Feeling shy? then you’ve got 140 characters of text or feeling verbose, you can upload a video from your desktop.
Each interaction on Qajack is part of a social Q&A game that users take part in. With Qajack you play with what you know, meet like-minded people along the way and build a quantifiable reputation which you gamble with.
Users start with 200 $Jks and with each question they ask, they fix a prize, eg. 20$Jks dependent on how attractive the question will be to the community and on how much they want to find an answer.
Respondents pay 25% of the prize total to answer a question, so they’d better be confident they know what they’re talking about and have the $Jks to do it. The gaming aspect combined with the immediacy and transparency of video are what ensure the quality of the results.
We've built the whole user experience around an activity feed so it's a user-centric platform. What you want to know will find you in your activity feed.
The human element of Qajack is what will enable people to make real connections, create new circles of people that they can trust and exchange relevant information with.
