movigami launched

the sensei has unleashed the latest challenge to test his followers. movigami is a movie quotes quiz in the same vein as the recent musigami lyrics quiz.

players have to guess the movie from the quite on the screen. sound simple? well maybe, but the quote is jumbled into a word cloud, where words that appear more frequently in the quote are larger than other words.

1500 challengers

the sensei is delighted to announce that there are now over 1500 challengers taking part in the puzzles, with a significant number of new players joining as a result of the launch of musigami.

musigami launched!

today sees the launch of musigami; a fun, alternative quiz to the main bimbogami challenges.

on the surface it's a simple song lyrics quiz. all you have to do is name the song from the lyrics you can see. but, as you would expect from the tricky sensei, there's a bit of a catch.

the song lyrics are represented in a 'word cloud', where all the words are mixed up on the screen. individual words that are repeated in the song appear larger then those that appear less often. oh, and all the words that appear in the title of the son'g have been removed...

have a look at the taster and you'll see what it's all about.

musigami in beta testing

bimbogami is in the final stages of pre-launch preparation for the release of musigami - a new concept in song lyrics quizzes. it's intended as a fun diversion from the main bimbogami seasons, so it's a bit easier - but see if you can do it without using bimbogoogle.

all the puzzles have been prepared and beta testing is now in progress, so not long now.

launch date still tba but will be before the end of january 2009.
there will be a new taster puzzle launched at the same time.

new bimbogami challenge

the sensei is pleased to announce that work has started on a new concept for a mini-challenge series for the puzzling population on bimbogami.

it's a little bit different from the traditional bimbogami 'season'-type questions. something that will be quicker to play, and will hopefully provide an interesting diversion while season 3 is devised.

the new concept will likely be set in a similar format to the standard challenges; comprising 5 rounds of 8 questions. the sensei can reveal that the title of the first mini-challenge will be 'musigami', further details will remain under wraps for now.

musigami launch date tba. watch this space!
