Is the elevator pitch game actually scored? Are there right and wrong answers?

It's only scored for the startups themselves ( hi-score list on frontpage )

That could be confusing misinformation for startups. The only opinion that matters in an elevator pitch is the investor you're pitching to. The people who play this game are other startup people. They don't know any more about pitching than the founders in the game. I hope nobody seriously uses this for testing their pitch.

Is the game broken for anyone else? Playing the elevator pitch gives me two text balloons with pitches, clicking on one of them changes the text and the one I didn't click on always says "...". The LinkedIn profile pictures stay distorted and the only thing I can do is click "NEXT". Score is not showing up et cetera.

Any minimum browser requirement? I am on Chromium 39.

Yes I am. I'm wondering if any startups are using the game to refine their pitch. It sounds feasible that some are, and if so, I think it's a mistake.

There's 2 games :

a) Which pitch is better - no player scoring there, only scoring for the startups b) Guess the startup - One slogan, 3 choices

You can switch between the games in the top navigation

As part of a 7 days product challenge we got this small idea about a startup game, which pivoted itself into 2 games... :) An experiment with Firebase + AngelList API and too many childhood memories on the SNES

what's your twitter id? This is trending on Product Hunt

It's the same, I commented there too :) Thanks!
