As the games all seem to last around 30 minutes, wouldn't it make more sense to have a slightly longer break than 30 seconds - long enough to grab a drink, or take a bathroom break etc. I'm not talking about a long break - people would get bored - but a couple of minutes might be better. Not too much wasted time every 30 minutes |

Davie,
We're continuously playing with game timing to get the right mix for our users. From in-game discussion, it sounds like 1 minute is about the sweet spot - maybe 1 minute, 15 seconds. We'll stretch out the break in a future upgrade and give the people who stick around something entertaining to make the time go by. |

Actually, I think it would be great to have a little longer break... at least every other game or so. 5 min maybe... enough time to let the dog out, grab a sandwich, stretch your legs, etc. |

You can take a 15-minute break or a 45-minute break at the end of one game and return to a ketchup round..."dijon ketchup!" Perfect.

What might help as well, if everyone had one FREE PLAY.. meaning, out of the what 36 questions, if you need to take that almighty bathroom break ( since we all seem to consume some sort of beverage while playing ) in the middle of the game, you could get one 'by' question at total point value. Just one per game. Does that make sense ?
It's just some of us are very competitive and are going all end up in depends at the rate we are going! :)
Just a thought. |

I like the idea of a slightly longer break inbetween games - just long nough to go to the loo and get a drink, etc, without rushing from bathroom to kitchen!
