The 1-Upper: Free Rice

The San Francisco Treat

There's not a lot to say about this game, but I thought it would be fitting around this time of year, especially since I forgot about it around Thanksgiving. Basically, you answer vocabulary questions (feels just like eighth grade again!), and if you get it right the site, which is run at no profit, donates 20 grains of rice to the World Food Programme. Every time you get a few questions correct, you'll move up a level and get increasingly harder questions. I think I topped out at around level 40, and that was thanks to a lot of guess work. If it's a slow work time for you, go feel good about yourself why you slack off and see if you know what a portmanteau is. Free Rice
