Howdy everyone!

We’ve got a new game up on our website with some great prizes, incuding a vacation from Hahn’s Travel for the winner and Truffles By Anna for the second place finisher. We’ve also added some new features and made some changes to the site’s design, including:

• usernames link to profile pages everywhere they appear
• link back to goal page from submissions on player profile
• new leaderboard formats
  • home page contains leaders in creatitivity points and all-time points, in addition to the most recent submissions
  • Individual leaderboards for each game can be found on the game pages
• leaderboards contains thumbnail of most recent submission for each user
• sponsor graphics moved above leaderboard
• players can delete pictures from the goal pages
• improved handling of current and past games on the home page

As always, we welcome your feedback on this changes. We still have a long ways to go on implementing some more robust features (uploading from your cell phone, email submissions, etc) but just know that we’re working on new things each day.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today is a big day for Scavenja. First, shout outs to all the teams that participated in RTP Startup Weekend, which was discussed in a CNBC segment earlier today and will be featured in a different one later today (4pm Eastern Time if anyone’s watching).

We rolled out a new game today - “This is no longer a vacation. this is a quest. Sponsored by Hahn’s Travel.” Hopefully that gives you at least a hint about what the prize for this game will be. So now we have two games going on at the same time.

We’re also excited about some new features we released today. We’ve been listening to what you’ve been saying about the games and getting your feedback to improve (hopefully) the game play experience. Today we implemented a few things:

• Ability to click on thumbnails of pictures so you can see bigger sizes
• Comments so you can engage in squirrel talk and let people know what you think about their pics
• Voting system to give bonus points for creativity. So even if you aren’t one of the first to submit you still can score a lot of points if you’re creative
• Added a second leaderboard for our new game
• Added minimum points levels for past goals, so they don’t go down to zero
• Ability to click on a player’s name (leaderboard only right now) and see all their past submissions

We’d love to hear what you think about these features. If you have any ideas for other features definitely let us know! We will be making many more improvements to the site and game so stay tuned…

P.S. Thanks to patricia for the image. You can view it and the comments here.

Our first real Scavenja game launched yesterday. We’re still in invite-only super stealth mode but if you follow us on Twitter, you may be able to snatch an invite code. The current game is sponsored by Edge Office, a design consultancy in Raleigh, NC. They’re also providing a really sweet prize — a $400 voucher for one of their super comfortable office chairs. Yeah we pimp Edge Office, but we’d do it even if they weren’t a sponsor, because they rock!

There have been some great pictures submitted so far for this first Scavenja game. Some pictures are original, some are photoshopped and some are from who knows where. And that’s ok. We wanted to let the game evolve on it’s own and see what people like, rather than force rules on people. We might eventually implement some more rules and types of games, but for now we’re just trying to gather feedback. We know we have a lot of kinks to work out and a lot of features to add, but we’re still excited about how things are going so far.

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the game so far–from the 4 goals released so far:
