Any sites have this loaded so I can try the games out?

I could do it myself, sure, but I don't think my (current) sites are exactly a fit.

http://www.heyzap.com/embed goes straight to the widget. Or you can try it on this site: http://www.dhingana.com/games

Whats with the 'adverts'?

"You have 1 challenge request [approve] [deny] [view friends]"

Then I (foolishly) believe it, and click on it, and it directs to (null) (from http://partners.tattomedia.com/sw/42/CD1/&dp=725 ) - Broken redirect...

:/

Something odd going on there (Tried playing Bloons on safari/firefox).

Some very addictive games there :)

Congrats Immad and Jude -- I knew you guys were on to something when I tried it and ended up spending a few hours playing an RPG game just totally randomly.

Out of curiosity, how did your leaving your co-founder(s?) at Clickpass effect Clickpass's acquisition? At first blush, seems like harsh timing.

You can test them out on heyzap.com in both the publisher section and on the main home page. Cheers
