In its first two months, a unique contest driven social community, WISEOZ.com, has found close to 200 members on word of mouth referrals alone. For this new kid on the block, Friday the 13th (of June) is the two month birthday and they don't appear the least bit superstitious as evidenced by the "Lucky 13" WiseWit, their homegrown contests, starting that same day.WISEOZ, as the name may infer, is a witty community aimed at giving away prizes for a variety of solving and seeking games with a creative twist. WiseWits which are online casual games made up of a series of interrelated stages with clues to be solved are their claim to fame. Clues are presented as trivia, teasers, riddles, puzzles, or even activities to be performed or information to be sought out.
WISEOZ truly seeks to be a contest driven social community with a more casual wizard behind the curtain approach that keeps members interested and engaged longer, while some sites tout themselves as online game shows. To leave members wanting more, WiseWits come with just enough wit and punch. Recent WiseWits have had members looking for a "ninja sunning" or even "where to buy an armadillo online". Having members make up new slang terms or write a political speech for "WISEOZ for President", is how some WiseWits have ventured further into creative expression.
WISEOZ, still just two months new, can already claim 80% of its members that play WiseWits win and 70% of those winning members have won more than once. The interest to win and the commitment to try is all it takes. WISEOZ, unlike some contest sites, awards prizes daily and to more members than large jackpot style games. There is no carrot here and this difference appears to be what is keeping members interested. It's apparent that WISEOZ fever is catching!
Ranging from Matchbook Collecting to Solving Games to Animal Activism, WISEOZ, in addition to the oh-so-popular WiseWits, also offers well over 100 Circles of Interest. It is within Circles of Interest that members can hang out and socialize with people that share their same interests; a novel idea for relating people to people considering some communities group their members by companies, schools, and locations. Other areas of WISEOZ like QuickWits or The Daily DumbOz further complement the witty style that is the great and powerful WISEOZ.
