Intercourse game - Trivial Pursuit

Dear,

I wonder if it is possible to implement a "Trivial Pursuit"-like game in Moodle.
We teach computer related topics and have several course e. g.
  • Windows (green)
  • Linux (blue)
  • Office (yellow)
  • Programming (black)
  • Web design (orange)
  • Networking (red)
I would like one student to start. She will answer a question for example from the green field (Windows).
If correctly answered she will advance and receive another question (randomly selected), lets say from the orange field (Web design), and so on...
If the answer is wrong the next student participating in the game will get a question.

Do you have any ideas how to implement such a game?

Regards,
Carsten

One option is to make most of the game a manual process:
  1. Create a resource with a game board the students can print out.
  2. Use the Quiz module to create your five categories with appropriate questions.  Each question should be prefaced with the category.
  3. Create a category that has 6 questions (maybe call it die?).  One question just has the number 1, another the number 2, ... , the last the number 6.
  4. Create a quiz that allows multiple attempts.  The quiz will have 6 questions, the first randomly selected question would be from the die category (you will get a number between 1 & 6).  The other five questions would be a randomly selected question from each of the five categores.
  5. A students "turn" would in require them to attempt the quiz.  The first question would tell them how many spaces to move on their board.  The printed board would tell the student which question to attempt.  When the student submits the quiz for grading ...
OK, this is really starting to sound like a bad idea.

An automated solution would be nice, but requires much more thought (and coding!)
