ELI5: A Game Show on Rails
summary
A Jeopardy/Catchphrase hybrid turns Rails concepts into timed rounds where teams explain concrete items like gems, ActiveRecord queries, console flags, middleware, .erb views, delegation, migrations and form_for and face a five‑year‑old test; volunteers win Portland-themed prizes (Pine State Biscuits gift cards, Stroop waffles, Test Double hoodie, etc.). The format uses live cards, two guessers per team, reserved-word bans and audible Daily Doubles, and it plays as a goofy, participatory demonstration that clearly shows who can actually explain and whom the rules help. explicit Rails terms: gem, ActiveRecord, .erb audience teams play Taboo-style rounds
