It's only scored for the startups themselves ( hi-score list on frontpage )

  That could be confusing misinformation for startups. The only opinion that matters in an elevator pitch is the investor you're pitching to. The people who play this game are other startup people. They don't know any more about pitching than the founders in the game. I hope nobody seriously uses this for testing their pitch.

    Are you being serious
    • normloman 12y ago
      Yes I am. I'm wondering if any startups are using the game to refine their pitch. It sounds feasible that some are, and if so, I think it's a mistake.

        Literally no one is doing that.
        • normloman 12y ago
          Ok, good. I was just curious. (No need for the downvotes HN people, It was an honest question.)

  Ya, this confused the hell out of me. I was trying to figure out if "I" was right or not. So I just started spamming left answers trying to figure out what those result messages actually meant. Maybe you could add a message clarifying that there are no official right or wrong answers and that this is a community driven game, like a poll. Displaying polling results would also be a plus. Regardless, great idea, smart use of an api.

    Thanks! So there's 2 games - one is just picking which pitch you like, and the other one is matching startup names to a slogan. You can switch between both games on the front page or in the header Added now a 'guess game' top ranking list to the front page as well :)
