Two New Twitter Games Remind Us of Radio Contests
It wasn’t long ago that we looked at new games coming out for Twitter. Now, more more Twitter based games coming down the pipe – it is a wonder that workplace productivity hasn’t reached a standstill.
Today, we’ve found two new Twitter games that are extraordinarily simple but somewhat reminiscent of a radio contest that has you listening all day for a jingle signaling to call in.
The first game is dubbed TwitBrain. In order to play, simply follow @TwitBrain and you will receive around three math calculations per hour. The object of the game is to be the first one to reply with the correct answer. In doing so, you earn one point towards the goal of entering the leaderboards.
Of course, if numbers aren’t your game (no pun intended), you could always take a crack at BeatMyTweet by following @BeatMyTweet. As vulgar as it might sound, it certainly isn’t what you might be thinking. This simple game has the exact same mechanic as TwitBrain, but rather than sending out math questions, it sends out garbled bunches of letters with the sole objective to be one of the first ten people to decipher it. As with the prior example, being the first (or one of the first in this case) earns you points and ranks you up higher within the game’s ranking system.
Granted, these two games aren’t incredibly sophisticated, but they are fun to play around with from time to time. They show where games on Twitter are going, and aren’t trying to be a ground breaking beacon of new game play. These Twitter games are meant to be fun, and there certainly is nothing wrong with that.
