  That’s a point that my daughter has also asked because she says there are no winners therefore it can’t be a game! It’s a game mainly because it’s fun when you receive your verdict knowing that 12 random people from anywhere in the world have just answered your question - whether it’s what shirt looks best or whether to move house. It’s also a game because there is a subtle team at play which you will never know…while playing JuryDuty you are answering with 11 other anonymous team members. It’s a more of a game when you are actually asking a question (not just trying the JuryDuty trial round - that’s more to get an idea of the game). Also, this is just the MVP, but the real model will be more “gamification” with User Stats, and rewards for playing streaks or contributing to different verdicts etc…Have I changed your mind a teensy bit? I can’t tell you HOW incredibly helpful it is to get feedback! and I’m genuinely grateful for you playing & taking time to comment back!! Thank you Konrad!

    I see. So it’s like “Ask a friend” of anything. It’s a useful application though, if the responses come quick, with more users joining of course. Say, I got two outfits to wear and I want opinions. If users disclose their nationality, occupation, age group and gender, I’d want to know the responses come from say, all male, then I know people of my gender that have such and such jobs wear similarly so I’ll be more confident in choosing the outfit. I still don’t think it’s a game. You can make it fun to help out others by including daily quest, points system etc. Otherwise, I don’t know why I would want to spend my free time on others.

      Thank you Konrad! Exactly, except rather than a friend or someone from your peer group, it’s a totally diverse group of all ages from all countries in the world, giving you an objective opinion - the type of feedback & verdict you wouldn’t encounter in your daily life. So the outfit concept is a great one - say you are wearing something standard is your country - let’s just guess Hungary. But what do people in Ghana and Guetemala and Hong Kong think on it? It’s a snap decision between two outfits based on people from age 16 - 99. (I have seen a 13 year old and a 93 year old play & enjoy it, so ok, 99 is maybe exaggerating; and actually the age limit is 16+) . The reciprocity part is curcial though!
