Lesson: Tip your drivers.
Wasn't even aware there was tip functionality, Is it hidden away somewhere?
Not for Uber. By choice. If drivers receive tips at all, they're cash. Lyft encourages tipping in their app though.
I don’t think they rolled it out nationwide yet.
This is really cool - super eye opening!
I totally agree !!!!
This is great thought provoking game. Tempts me to build a larger version with larger branching choices such as getting a university degree ie a modern version of Oregon Trail.
This is absolutely one of the coolest things I've ever tried on this site. I absolutely fell in love with graphics and the info at the end (similar decisions, why you guys built this game etc.) made it even better. 5 out of 5. 10 out of 10!
Wow! This is super cool!

I played for 10 mins and I had enough.

Pros:

It seemed like a good idea.

Cons:

Not enough options.

Nice game
Made couple of clicks for a few minutes. If you wanna take a break, give it 15-20 min :)
Super awesome game!
Great stuff here. Should make it mandatory all potential hires play this game as a requirement hehe
Bad idea. Most of them will quit after they’re done with the game. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
