Die Asparagus!!! - Free Zoom Game to Play With Friends
Go to the game: www.dieasparagus.com
An hour before the party was going to begin I decided to make a game. We already had the idea in mind, we wanted to play a scavenger hunt game on Zoom. I had the idea that I could make this less work for myself. Instead of holding up a piece of paper each time with a description and an image, I could do this with a program. Then I don’t have to have them run back to the screen each time where someone might see the next clue ahead of the other players. So I decided to make the program. It was down to the wire, an hour before the party began. Just in time, Version 1.0 of the scavenger hunt game was created. We all had a great time, it was a hit! I was encouraged to make it public so others could play it too. After a while, I decided to devote some more time in cleaning it up a bit and making it more automatic. Now we have, what we call dieasparagus.com.
Where did the name come from you may ask yourself? Well, I was playing another game with some friends where someone would create a tag line and another person would draw a picture. The images were combined and the end result would be a t-shirt. Everyone loved the ironic and cute but menacing look of the t-shirt. We decided to call the site ‘Die Asparagus!!!’ with the cute little flower on it.
Anyways, this is a free game. I wanted to make it available for anyone to play it, as well as making the option to pay if you want to show support.
