First Lines

What is First Lines?

First Lines is a classic literature quiz game where players identify famous novels from their opening lines. It works as a Gutenberg book quiz demo for readers, students, and anyone who likes literary trivia.

Key features of First Lines

Each round presents a recognizable first line, answer choices, scoring feedback, and a simple game loop that keeps the quiz moving. The experience is focused on recall, discovery, and replayable questions from well-known public-domain novels.

How First Lines was built

The source uses a React frontend with an AppDeploy backend route for quiz rounds. The backend owns the round generation, ships health and subscription endpoints, and keeps the question flow separated from the browser UI.
