Just a couple of months ago, it would have been impossible to imagine the wide variety of uses that people were going to make of twitter. While for the majority of us twitter is a meeting place, people are developing ever-more creative and fun ways of using twitter. Twitter games are certainly one great way of enhancing the twitter experience. Perhaps the best thing about twitter games is that they are so ingenious and each one of us has the ability to develop one.

Almost every day a new twitter game is developed and soon we might not be able to keep track of the number. Given that the games are fun and brain teasers, our world cannot have enough of them and therefore the more the merrier. Here we highlight some twitter games that have enjoyed widespread appeal.

For its simplicity and ability to entertain and inform, twivia is probably the most famous twitter game. As the name suggests, twivia tests our knowledge of trivia and once a question is posed, marks are awarded to the person who is quickest to post a reply. Depending on the complexity of the trivia question, a query on twivia can remain unanswered for ...
... a long time but participants are spared the agony of wondering what the correct answer is as twivia tweets the answer once a correct answer is received.

A twitter game that leaves many perplexed is tweetbomb. The target in tweetbomb receives blank tweets from their twitting companions and it might take some time to realize that they are being tweetbombed.

A twitter game that is designed to test a twitter's knowledge of twitting companions is whose tweet. The game sends you as many as twenty tweets and tries to find out if you can identify who the specific tweet companions are. Simple as it may sound, associating a particular username to a tweet can be a mind-racking exercise especially for people with many friends on twitter.

A twitter game that has universal appeal but is especially enjoyed by twitters that are math savvy is twitbrain. Twitbrain posts a question in math and seeks to find out who will answer the question quickest. The twitbrain website has a scoreboard and the winner of the game is the first person to send the correct answer to twitbrain.

To cater for the math-challenged majority, there is beat my tweet. Beat my tweet posts scrambled words and it is up to the recipients to unscramble them. Unscrambling words can be both fun and a great exercise for the brain. Answers are found at the Beat My Tweet website.

The number of twitter games keeps growing each day. Twitter games provide a welcome relief from the monotony of routine work and are a great stress-buster. Perhaps the real beauty of twitter games is that each one of us has the ability to create and share our own games. With so many games being developed, the future of tweeting is surely bright.
