Ideas monetizing this game I built: http://thewikigame.com? It has ~1500 players per day, w/ average time on site ~10mins.

I'm currently starting on a iPhone/Android app. I've thought about virtual goods and adds, but so far I have shied away from adds, and virtual goods I'm not sure about. There is also that upcoming Chrome app store which might be a possibility. Any other ideas?

Anyways, good luck spicyj, you're not alone in your quest.

Nice game :-) I've been playing for half an hour and registered my username.

I pretty much suck at this, but it's fun :P

Awesome!

People really love the game for a while, the word "addicting" comes up a lot. But, the long-term retention is pretty low, and understandably so, there are no variations or other features except the main game.

I'm working on making more features/game types/etc to make the game players have better retention, and make it overall more enjoyable for long-time players. Specifically, I'm working on the top voted requests here: http://wikipediagame.uservoice.com

fwiw, a similar game was already released to the App Store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/wiki-hunt-the-wikipedia-game/...

In case you weren't aware.

I'm aware, thanks. A little competition is a good thing I reckon.
