**Danganronpa: Guessing Game**, usually simplified as *Guessing Game* or *GG*, originated as a roleplaying game on Quotev created by user Frosty (@pimpslap). It was originally a stand alone RPG, until plot points connected and it was possible for Sister Location characters to appear in game, making it a sequel and the second in the SLverse timeline.

Despair Annihilation

It is made completely of original characters made by admins to the project, being portrayed by them on personal accounts created for the character itself. Aside from Shirokuma, none of the canon characters from Danganronpa were portrayed directly, but there are mentions of characters (e.g., Junko Enoshima and Class 77-B) due to it being in the game's re-thought canon.

Guessing Game can be found on Quotev at @postdespair.

## Synopsis

It's after the **Tragedy**  —  known as the *The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History.* It was ran by one motive and one motive alone: **despair**. The leader of this was the Ultimate Despair, both as a stand alone person and a group of remnants and remnants' followers. It was a time of social unrest.

Luckily, survivors from the Ultimate Academy Killing Game put out the roaring flames. As the Future Foundation, time went faster for despair, until it fizzled into nothing but petty crimes once again.  Future Foundation was known to the masses. The Prime Minister praised the group's efforts, awarding them keys to the city; but were told to proceed fixing the world as they knew it with caution. Secret information from the Killing School Semester have been released to the public, along with the crimes of Junko Enoshima are revealed in disdain & regarded as worse than war crimes.

In under a month, Japan (among many other places in the world) went from a high alert emergency to a low leveled one. It seemed once again that hope was restored into the world.

Ten months later, the head of Future Foundation and the recently dubbed Ultimate Hope, Makoto Naegi, decided to open Hope's Peak once again. This time, more thorough checking was made. Suddenly, spaces for 3 new classrooms were filled, and all these new hopeful waves of Ultimates needed to do were to get their uniforms.

It proved to be fairly simple, albeit they all had to be careful. Although people could roam the streets, drive machinery, and return to work as normal, spotted areas in Japan that were still devastated said it all. It said that tragedy could strike again.

However, 17 students sporadically walked, drove, or hopped on a bus to pick up their uniforms from Towa Emporium.

Until a wafting and hexing scent went through the empty mall. No people, no music, and almost all the shops boarded up. A thud came from the students that entered.

## Notes

Danganronpa: Guessing Game takes place about a year, give or take, after the events of Trigger Happy Havoc, Goodbye Despair, and Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. In the timeframe of Despair Overhaul, it is the second killing game and Guessing Game takes place a year or two after Danganronpa: Sister Location.

Just like the original material of Danganronpa, GG has chapters for its progression of storyline. It replicates the game's continuance, however since this is not a real interactive game, it has a more Dungeons & Dragons-esque way of interaction on Quotev's feed function for character conversations, investigation, and Class Trials are played in Quotev's group function. Each character replies to another based on posts in which you tag another player, talking to them as you would for normal roleplaying scripts. Class Trials and investigations are guided by GG's writer.

As the host and "headmaster" respectively, the characters Kei Satsu and Shirokuma are used by Frosty to guide its storyline.

## Ending

*The five — Kayda, Kyo, Udamae, Minoru, and Akira — were driven to the Future Foundation facility unit early into the day, where they saw the rest of their classmates.*

Hugs occurred, tears were shed, words were exchanged; both good and passive aggressive.

Yuuki Hyakuya, unlike Chisafusa Tachibana, was not given a raise at the end of this. A bummer, but she wasn't fired. She got to sleep in late that day so that was a win in her book.

Future Foundation's verdict was the same as before - no one would be strictly under jail arrest, just supervised or given at least house arrest for them to mellow out. Confirmed despairs, such as Udamae and Love, were given sessions with the NEO World Program or Hope Videos, and were swiftly checked out in about less than a year.

Everyone else were constantly checked out for traces of despair. You could never be too careful.

Despite the denial, the cast lived out their lives... *strangely* hopeful, in their own little ways.

## Trivia

* '*Guessing Game*' is the name of the RPG due to the mastermind guessing mechanic implemented. Described as a 'game of hot and cold', a random participant would be called by Kei to hypothesize who the mastermind was with an argument presented.[1]
	+ A similar mastermind guessing mechanic was implemented in Internal Corruption; however, the mastermind was actually guessed correctly *and* *unveiled* in that RPG unlike Guessing Game.
* Guessing Game's beta initially took place in a skyscraper, not a mall, along with a beta mastermind known as Hacker Mastermind.
* The RPG is known as "the killing game with the most canon ships", as Lovefriends (Kyo/Minoru), Love Letters (Love/Akira), Seikei/Seiyuuki (Seiko/Kei, Seiko/Yuuki), and Kaybun (Kayda/Bunnou) were all canonized ships.
	+ Although the two were victims, Rumyumi (Rumiko/Ayumi) were even confirmed as canon by admins Laura and Donovan.
