The Blind Chef (an OS YouTube Gameshow)

[Alex_]

I need your opinion.
NEW SHOW IDEA: THE BLIND CHEF

There is the a user who is the mastermind, then there is another person who listens to the mastermind and does what he asks.

The mastermind cannot see the servant's  screen, but can hear the song being produced.

The servant has to listen to what ever the master says about the song and can contribute a little. However, they are only allowed to contribute vocaly 3 times.

At the end of 15 minutes of composition, the mastermind is given 2 minutes to apply the finishing touches visually through the servant.

The songs will be rated 1-10 and will be compared in a leaderboard to other games done.

Let me know what you think in and let me know if you or/and a friend would like to participate


Requirements: Must have discord or any screen sharing service.

Sounds fun

Sounds a bit like a musical version of "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes," which could be interesting.

Some questions, though:
--Would the mastermind remain the same between games? Would the servant remain the same between games? If no on both, how would one differentiate between a mastermind doing an excellent job and a servant doing an excellent job, or would they only be viewed as one team on the leaderboard?
--Would the mastermind hear the servant placing the individual notes, or only when the servant plays the entire song? (This could make a difference, for instance if the servant places a note and the mastermind wants to say "I think that note's too low--try a note higher" or something.)
--What would stop the servant from nonverbally communicating with the "mastermind" in this case? (I.e. using one of their verbal cues to say "If I click C# twice with SciFi, that means I agree, and if I click C# twice with Flute, that means I disagree, and if I click C# twice with trombone, that means I think this part needs to be longer, and...." Or what if the servant attempts to use morse code, for that matter? Or tap on the table a certain number of times to signal a given response? Etc.)
--Would the servant be able to override or otherwise disobey the mastermind? (I.e. "No, I think this sounds horrible, so I'm going to do it this way regardless")?
--Who would be rating the songs?
--How would one ensure that neither the mastermind nor the servant are secretly cheating?

Also, I don't have a screen sharing device (except for Zoom, but I am not going to use that), so I wouldn't be able to compete anyways, unfortunately. Sorry...

1. No, they are viewed as one team.
2. He can hear the servant placing notes
3. Nothing would stop none verbally on normal circumstances, except all their moves is being monitored by me so I'll know if they are cheating
4. The servant can't overwrite. It breaks the point of the game.
5. I monitor them
