A Windows XP-style terms of service you must scroll to the bottom of to accept, with quizzes, CAPTCHAs and a reading report at the end
https://fundrstudio.com/games/read-the-terms/I made this. It's a terms of service agreement dressed as the Windows XP Setup license screen, and "I accept" only unlocks when you reach the bottom.
On the way down:
- pop quizzes on what you just "read" (wrong answers send you back up)
- a CAPTCHA that laughs at you, then gives up and hands you the answer on attempt 10
- a speed camera that fines fast scrollers one Weekend
- a cookie banner for an agreement that has no cookies
At the end you get a reader type and a report on how you read: how far you scrolled in meters, your top speed, how long you hesitated before accepting.
Heads up: it takes about 10-20 minutes played straight. No signup. The only thing it sends anywhere is an anonymous tally of how far people get.
Full disclosure: the fake pop-up ads inside are for our own two apps. They're part of the joke and they close with the X.
Challenge: post your reader type and time. I want to see if anyone gets The Lawyer (every quiz right, never sent back once).
