I could see a quidditch game kinda work if it was like a hero shooter or whatever. Each team has a roster of certain characters with different stats to fulfill the different roles. There could be a snitch, but just make it so incredibly fast that it comes down to pure luck if you happen to catch it. Or just make different playable modes like “no snitch” and “with snitch”.
That’s quite besides my point but I’ll answer in two ways:
Firstly what defines “working” isn’t really your choice. If the goal is to have fun the silliest stuff can be called “working”. If the goal is to escape reality for a bit then pretending to be a mermaid might be quite effective.
Secondly, my point was just that there is a game, played by people that are probably enjoying themselves, which could probably be translated into a Video game. Just like any other sports.
Afaik there are people actually playing quidditch, brooms and all. So there must be something playable there
I always thought the whole point of quidditch was to put the protag as the most important position in the game.
but yeah I’ve seen “quidditch” being played. I’m just not certain how compelling it is without a protagonist player.

I have played quidditch, with the broom.
I spent more time trying not to trip over said broom than actually playing. And I’m somewhat athletic. It wasn’t great.
There are also people pretending to be mermaids. That doesn’t mean it actually works.
