Feedback

Without further prompting to play from another player or the game questions and answers petered out.

Problems losing count and losing sync with questions and answers. Untimely answers were sometimes confusing. eg. getting a text saying 'NO' but with no clear indication of what it refers to.

SMS's allowed people to play and respond in their own time. Could have worked better if there had been longer to play and reminders to play.
