    It was developed by a famous company known for its innovative technology in gaming.

    I feel like they use this exact same clue for every single game, and was the reason I stopped playing this a while back. Sad to see that they’re still doing this. It’s about as useful as saying “it’s a video game”. In fact, I’d say it’s not even an accurate clue in this case, which is extra frustrating.

      Thanks for the feedback, and you’re right, the clues could be better. I use AI to generate hints, and it often produces vague clues rather than anything meaningful about the game.

      I’ve adjusted the prompt that creates the clues several times, but I haven’t seen much improvement. Either the AI is too vague or provides too much info.

      Since the game is free and I don’t make any money from it, I can’t justify spending time manually researching and writing every clue. As it is, I lose money on this game each month just on hosting. I’m going to take another pass at improving the AI-generated hints this weekend, but I am not hopeful.

      Again, thanks for the feedback.

        Thanks for looking into it! I otherwise love the game, but I always get frustrated when that clue comes up lol.

          I made some changes to the clue generation code. I think the clues are better now, but they’re still not perfect.

          The updated clue logic will be used in games starting tonight at 8:00 PM EST. Let me know what you think once you’ve had a chance to try it.
