Popular Games

Wednesday, December 5, 2007

A couple weeks ago Mike asked for a listing of all Entrapment Puzzles which had never been solved. I had planned to do that, but several other projects got in the way, and by the time I did get to it, the issue had become a moot point, because all the Entrapment Puzzles have now been solved at least once.

Back in August I made the following statement about Entrapment: I suspect that by the time the school year is over, this geometry game is going to prove to be one of the favorites on the site!

My prediction has already turned out to be correct, long before I expected it to. Within the last couple weeks the popularity of this game has skyrocketed, until it has reached the point where more Entrapment games are played each day than any three other games on The Problem Site put together. Several thousand Entrapment games are played each day now.

I was recently asked which are the most popular games on The Problem Site, and that is a slightly different list than the one I posted back before school began. So I thought I would post that list here.

The top games, in order of popularity:

6. One To Ten*
5. Picture Word Game
4. Trio Match
3. Hangman
2. Adders
1. Entrapment

* The popularity of this game fluctuates wildly from week to week depending on what math units elementary school students are studying; whenever schools are studying order of operations, One To Ten becomes one of the most played games on the site.
