Abstract: A virtual cypher system for providing online real-time performances. The virtual cypher system creates a virtual cypher for providing sequential online real-time performances based on a filtering scheme using customizable user selected features. The virtual cypher system generates a user profile page for each new user, determines whether a virtual cypher exists for a category and performance selection chosen by a user, creates a virtual cypher in conformance with the customizable user selected features when the system determines that a virtual cypher does not already exist for the category and performance selection, and adds the user to a waitlist queue. Further, the virtual cypher system initiates, in sequential order, a content-specific real-time performance corresponding to the performance selection, for each user in the waitlist queue, and transmits received real-time streaming data corresponding to the performance by each user to viewers of the virtual cypher.

Abstract: A method of playing a card game using a deck of cards. Each card contains a stimulus describing a real life experience which triggers a human response. The active player's team members must guess the correct character to win a point. If the character has not been guessed within a prescribed time period by any member of the active player's team, the opposing team is afforded an opportunity to guess. If the opposing team's guess is correct, the opposing team earns a point. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.
