Hey guys, just wanna say thanks so much for playing this game, as today we hit game 365, aka one year anniversary. I have some fun stats for you:

As of right now,

The daily game has been completed 96135 times.

Over the past month, we've averaged 519 daily game completions per day.

The record for one day was 645 daily game completions, which happened to be yesterday.

(Note that all these stats do not include any plays in 'The Vault' (replaying old games). So there's probably more overall activity than is shown here.)

Here is the score distribution of all those plays:

(1 being correct in 1 guess, 2 being correct in 2 guesses, etc.)

I'm sure there's quite a few takeaways from the distribution here. Seems like people tend to get it quickly, or not at all. Maybe the difficulty isn't as balanced as it could be.

ALSO, We've received 195 photo submissions from 39 contributors. Huge special thanks to our top contributors, specifically "Bal Land" aka "Alien Bird", Ronan Pangie, Liam Wolff, Ann Pettigrew, Dina Perry, "Canada Birdwatcher", and Manny Salas. I try to use as many of the photo submissions as possible, and if I haven't used yours, I either will in the future, or it's because the bird was already recently used in the daily game, or the image is too low-resolution (e.g., Instagram links). But thank you so very much.

I've spent approximately 60-70 hours putting together these lil' games over the past year. I have basically left the gameplay bit un-changed from the beginning, so sorry if I've been ignoring feature requests 😰. It hasn't been super time consuming, but maybe soon we start sourcing an occasional game from you guys, to spice it up a bit?

Anyways, the game isn't super popular by any means, but it has amazed me at how a core group of people have stuck with it. It more or less has continued to very slowly grow in terms of number of players ever since it started. I basically posted it on a couple of birding forums last year and that's been it. Here's how the daily game completions have been growing over time:

So anyways, hope this was mildly interesting, and thanks again for playing. ♥
