Lesson: Tip your drivers.

@faisal_hassanx Wasn't even aware there was tip functionality, Is it hidden away somewhere?

@faisal_hassanx @pthm_ Not for Uber. By choice. If drivers receive tips at all, they're cash. Lyft encourages tipping in their app though.

@maggiewhite I don’t think they rolled it out nationwide yet.

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!

I played for 10 mins and I had enough.

Pros:

It seemed like a good idea.

Cons:

Not enough options.

Made couple of clicks for a few minutes. If you wanna take a break, give it 15-20 min :)

Great stuff here. Should make it mandatory all potential hires play this game as a requirement hehe

@pengjimji Bad idea. Most of them will quit after they’re done with the game. 🤷🏻‍♂️
