TAG: The Acronym Game
We send a randomly-generated acronym of 3 to 7 letters. You reply with a funny, timely or creative phrase for that acronym. People then vote for their favorite. You score by writing popular answers.
How Do I Play TAG on Facebook? (play on Twitter)
In order to play, go to TAG: The Acronym Game on Facebook. A new game starts every ten minutes. Join us!
The game is played in two parts: the acronym, and then the vote.
THE ACRONYM
We post an acronym and a category and you come up with a phrase that matches the acronym and fits the category.
THE VOTE
After a few minutes, the game will advance to the vote. We will show you three answers - just click the best of the three to cast a vote.
THE RESULTS
After a few minutes minutes, a winner will be decided!
Scoring
When you submit an answer, you earn 10 points. During the vote, your score goes up by three points when people vote for it, and down by one when people vote for another player instead. You usually score between 5 and 20 points for your answer, based on how people vote. With many people playing, the scores can go much, much higher.
