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.
want to try it? head to the login page and log in to play.

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.

open for business
the sensei is pleased to announce that he has successfully launched his new, free puzzle site. slightly earlier than originally scheduled, the portal was opened and users started registering to take part.
bimbogami is pleased with the attempts from the registered users so far, the difficulty level seems to be set at a good level for the challengers so far.
time will tell, but bimbogami thinks it will be some time before anyone succeeds in the challenge.
if you feel you are up to the challenge, why not register and take part. if you're not so sure, try the taster puzzle first. it's all free, and fun, so what do you have to lose?
bimbogami looks forward to taunting you as you try to solve his puzzles.

progress on track
the sensei has now performed his final review of lineup of puzzling enigmas that make up the first bimbogami challenge. he has made some changes to the order of questions that he believes will provide maximum frustration for those who take up the gauntlet, and therefore much satisfaction for bimbogami.
his technical minions have been working hard and bimbogami is pleased with the progress of the final preparations prior to the official launch of the site at 00:00 on 1 september 2007. all is on track.
the taster puzzle is still available for anyone who wishes to get an early try of the style of puzzles that will appear in the main challenge.
bimbogami looks forward to seeing you there.
