It's fine, I guess? It's not really that fun to squint at a blurry image and then randomly guess what it might be. I salute you though for a novel way to earn some Amazon commissions.

I feel like there is an opportunity here though to make something more entertaining - what about showing a few product reviews and guessing what the product is?

I also wish that it accepted my guess as soon as I clicked the button - there's really no reason to have to click "Choose a Guess" after I've already clicked on a guess.

That is absolutely genius. I'll ask the team over at Millions to whip that up - thank you!

Great feedback - I agree on choose a guess too...kinda lame - we'll take that off tomorrow.

I like the idea, but why not show the image when guessing wrong? I don't want to keep clicking into Amazon to see the right answer.

maybe the whole purpose is redirect to amazon

Because it’s a thinly veiled advertisement trying to grind out amazon affiliate commissions.

Exactly - some folks at Millions whipped this up over the long weekend.

We're just throwing this out there for lols but will implement any good new ideas and see if we can make it a fun game!

All ideas welcome!

Is the blurry image meant to be there? Is my task finding a product in the blur?

If no, there is something wrong. If yes, that is not very much fun.

very cool affiliate site idea.
