I was very interested in playing this until I saw that it requires a Facebook or Twitter login. I am not going to play it now.

There are still plenty of words left! Within the past hour I’ve successfully “trademarked”: Dracula, potable, redistributor, collectible, ferrous, mainstay, flick, response, unreal, impaler (along with a number of questionable compound words and neologisms).

Most of mine were guessed quickly. I don’t think all my hints were ~that~ good, so I suspect the finite set of initial trademarks means that anyone who knows them can easily brute force correct guesses for points.

The “rename a thing” option doesn’t seem to work have the time, and the majority of people’s guesses are either massively obvious, references, or (more often) just something completely obtuse.

Yes, we noticed a few sexists / essentialist entries. Not including gendered terms and characters would reduce the risk but if we do so “the terrorists have won”. We are thinking of a “flag” button to report users who submit offensive definitions or unfun strategies.

This one’s real fun. We seem to have quickly exhausted all words that aren’t just one big sentence mashed together.

Including “woman” as a word to guess is really ill-advised, though. I’ve already run into a number of unpleasant hints.
