PlayCafe - The Online Game Show
PlayCafe is a website, currently in beta, where users can watch a live daily game show, call there and win prizes ranging from iTunes songs to Nintendo Wiis and $1,000 in cash. The game show is streamed live Monday-Friday at 6 PM PST / 9 PM EST during almost 2 hours but they are planning to expand to four hours starting next week.
It is an interesting concept. You don’t need any complex program to watch the show. You only need Adobe Flash version 8.0+ and a browser like Mozilla Firefox 2.0+ (recommended) or Internet Explorer 7.0+ (For Mac OS you can use Safari 1.2+).
Currently, the prizes also include Amazon gift certificates, ringtones and magazine subscriptions. To play, you must sign-up, be logged in when the show begins, listen to the host (who will tell you about the rules / questions) and answer those questions in a window, which appears in the page during the show.
According to some news reports, currently the website has an average of 250 to 300 players per night. They have three types of games: Mix and Match (about matching things in categories), Predict the Poll (with questions like: “What percentage of Americans…?”) and Media Mash-Up (they present a media clip and you have to answer some questions about it).
