Sweet deal, I’ll play. But you need to show us the check you send at the end of August, to know it’s for real ;)

So I’m a college student so that makes me pretty poor. But please, if you feel the urge to donate this is a really fun way to do it! I actually get a kick out of seeing how many gameplays have been racked up and seeing the donation total rise.

So I can’t show you the check because that has alot of important information. I will try to show you guys some other way tho. Plus I’m gonna talk to greg and emily and see if they wont match my donation! I’ll keep you guys updated.

I’d love to play the game more if it had more song selections, to be honest.

Thats very true, that would make it’s replay value a lot higher. The next game I pick will have a really high replay value! So no worries if you can’t keep on playing music catch!

Wewt, I feel special =P

Please feel free to earn some extra grains on your own!

16K here. Doing it all day when I can.

You Rock Zakia!

So I am starting to gather together a list of games that I will choose for next month’s charity donation. I am also looking for a different charity to donate to. So far on the game list are the following:



1) Amorphous+

2) Fold

3) Filler

4) ????



I am looking for a game with super high replay value! Let me know what’s out there!

amorphous+ ftw

Amorphous+. Sponsor my guide, =P

Jack the fugitive can also work.

awesome! im in!

fold next, its a much better game

cool, i’m gonna go play now

Amorphous. I’d never play Fold again (and I lack some badges).

Amorphous.

I’ve had free rice up for a few days and just donated 49K. Woot.

Yeah, great idea! BTW Music Catch roxx :o)

So today is the last day for this everyone! It ends tonight at midnight, then I’ll be donating the amount to the WFP. Be sure to check out the downloadable Music Catch. You can use your own MP3s!!

Well, If anyone else is up for donating via gameplays or something of the sort please post and I will change the name of the Forum to the Game that is up for charity. Peace.

=D

I’ll go with the flow, I’ll vote for A+

Sorry but I fail to see the point, wouldn’t it be simplier if you just donated? (without the “visit the game’s page” thing I mean)

My hope is to have others join me in donating based on gameplay. The best scenario would be to have developers donate a percentage of their revenue to charity. I am trying to break the ice on donation ideas.

Also, think about FreeRice.com. It would be much easier just to donate instead of playing the game, but thats not the point! The point is to learn vocabulary and help hungry people at the same time. The whole idea is to make people feel better about gaming and have fun donating to charity. Pretty good combo I think. :-)

The idea of the developers donating makes sense. However, DanielVonRommel makes a valid point in the first post above. Other than setting an example for others, donating based on gameplay is less efficient than directly donating. FreeRice donates more when you play longer because it actually makes more money from ad revenue when you do.

Still, I commend your generous spirit. Keep it up and I hope it catches on with game developers.

Hey Everyone!

So I just wanted everyone to know that FreeRice now has multiple subjects that you can test on. Also, the United Nations World Food Programme has a virtual wall that you can put a picture on if you donate to their fill a cup campaign. Pretty sweet stuff.

Does any of the Kong staff know if anything charity oriented is happening to Kong any time soon? Emily Greer said that they might be able to begin developement on Kong for Charity by Christmas! I know you guys are working hard so I just wanted to check.

Last sweet thing. I made FreeRice bracelets! Haha, check em out!

Shoot how do you post a picture?
