User Experience

A player should be able to fully participate in the game using just email. No need to go
to the website to sign-up, or anything like that. A new player will receive an initial email inviting them to play. The invite email has a greeting from the friend who invited them, but the email sender is the system. By replying to the email you automagically participate in the game and will receive future daily game emails. Every email has an opt-out link so you can stop further emails at any time.

Technical Details

Each email has a unique sent from email address so that when a player replies, the system
knows what what to do with the reply. The email address of the player is also used
to authenticate the player.

Further details will be provided on this page.
