First off, we’d like to welcome our newest members to the gamification space: Snoop Dogg, Edward Norton, Sophia Bush, Kristen Bell, Eva Longoria, Jonah Hill, John Legend, and Paul Pierce. They have all taken part in Zynga & American Express’s Words With Friends Celebrity Challenge to donate $500,000 to their favorite charity. Here’s how we can all play to help a great cause:
1) Download Words With Friends (if you don’t have it already)
2) On the homescreen, you’ll see “Celebrity Challenge!” Click that link.
3) Decide which celebrity or cause you want to support. Join that team.
4) Play Words With Friends. Every word you create, those points go to your Celebrity’s Team.
5) Bonus: Play 5 Words before Oct 3 and be entered to win a chance to play your celebrity.
6) The celebrity with the most points (at the top of the leaderboard) will win $500,000 for their charity.
Can’t believe I missed this!
