my fav game needs help

 



I am getting really good at a game on the internet.


Maybe you have played it also (I wanted to say “to” but I wasn’t sure if it is “to” or “too”… so I said also).


The game has a couple of variations. You play it when you go to a website that you go to every day and sometimes a few times a day, but they are not sure who you are. With all the smart machines and people in the world you would think they would know who you are when you visit them every day. Grandma had dimensionia (yes I know that isn’t a word, but grandma won’t care). 


Where was I?


Oh yeah, Grandma couldn’t remember anything but she know who you were when you came to visit. And she didn’t have a PhD in computer science.


So anyway,


This game asks you to figure out in which of a big batch of pictures in a grid is the one that matches the word they give you and the example picture.


So, for example, it might say pick the bridges out of the group below. So you do this and then the magic happens….Your reward is that you get to visit the website you wanted to visit because you proved you are smarter than an apricot.


The variation that is the most fun is the one where you… using the example given above… pick a bridge and it disappears but a new image takes it place. You don’t get to proceed to the website until all the bridges are gone. This usually does’t take any longer than half an hour.


Sometimes I click out of the website and then click back in just to play this (or these) games. 


It’s not that I don’t have other things to do.


There are still reruns of “The Price is Right” that I haven’t seen yet. So there’s that.


I wish I knew who to contact to help them with these games. They need to think bigger! Like bigger grids. Grids like 10x10. That would be a lot of little images. Like it would be maybe 20 or so.


And they could offer up better clues. Like instead of saying pick the bridge image and then giving you an example of a bridge in a picture, they could have a bunch of people images in the grid and then the clue would be “pick out the person from this group that you think blows their nose on their sleeve”. The problem with my poor example is that everyone I know does this, except my wife.


So if you have the name or number or email or snapchat or WhatsApp or WeChat or telegram, or messenger, or chat-chat or someotherway to reach the people that make these games please let me know.


Many thanks,
