They are easily adaptable to individual schedules. And, with existing intranets and email systems, they have little or no cost. Generous deadlines may encourage players to procrastinate and miss the deadline. Players with overflowing mailboxes may accidentally or intentionally ignore the e-mails about the game. E-mail would also be used to share sources of information about Singapore.
Players contribute up to five new factoids every day by a certain time.
First, the facilitator organizes players into two groups of five to fifteen and explains that members of each group will judge the responses of the members of the other group. Within a given period of time, each player writes a short, creative answer to the question and e-mails it to the list of addresses. Players should wait until after the deadline to review the answers from the other team, then select the best answer and send it to the facilitator. During the next round, the facilitator gives 1 point for each time an answer is selected as best and anonymously lists all of the answers and the scores awarded. Usually, the game is repeated weekly with a new open-ended question.
