Fleeglently Asked Questions!
Q: What's Fleeg?
A: It's simpler than you think. Fleeg! is the name of a simple question/challenge game. It's also the name of the question/challenge itself, and it's the name of the response you might submit! Fleeg! is a game, made up of Fleegs that we pose, and when you participate, you submit a Fleeg in response. Get it? If not, keep reading! We'll explain more in the next section.
Q: How Does It Work?
A: Simple – 2 mornings a week (Monday and Thursday), we'll make a social media post containing that day's Fleeg. It could be a simple question for you to answer, or a small challenge for you to complete. These are designed to be quick, so you shouldn't have to spend more than 1 to 3 minutes a day on them!
All you have to do after we post our Fleeg is respond. You can do this by commenting under our post, or by making your own social media post and tagging us using @TeamFleeg and/or the custom #fleeg hashtag we provide in the post. (This could be, for example, #fleeg001 or something. The number corresponds to the day, and helps us find your answers!)
The next morning (Tuesday and Friday), we'll take the best answers and highlight them in another social media post for the whole world to see! You'll get a shoutout for coming up with a good answer, so be truthful and put in effort and you just might get featured!
And that's all there is to it!
Right now, we only plan to have 2 Fleegs a week. However, the goal is for us to eventually have Fleegs posed every weekday morning, and have our highlight videos posted every weekday evening. Imagine that – 5 Fleegs a week!
(Those who participated in the alpha and beta versions of this game in the "Groupchat Era" prior to public release were posed Fleegs every single day, but with no more than 15 answers at most a day, it was easier to sort answers and highlight them. If the public really takes a liking to this game, we'll have a lot more sorting to do, hence only starting out at 2 days a week!)
Q: How Can I Play?
A: Perhaps the most important question of all! We've also made this easy for you. There's no need to download an app or subscribe to any service! All you have to do is find us on social media! We have accounts on
Twitter/X,
Facebook,
Instagram,
YouTube, and
TikTok!
(You can click any of those words to visit our accounts!)
Check for our most recent Fleeg post, and after viewing the prompt, decide how you want to respond! If it's a simple question, it might be easier to reply or comment underneath the post! If it's a challenge, you might find it easier to make your own post! If you do so, tag us using @TeamFleeg (where applicable depending on the social media site you use), and use the custom hashtag so that we can better find your answer!
You might be wondering, "Where is that special hashtag?" Fret not, Fleegling! The custom hashtag is included in the post itself! You can find it in the video we post, AND in the text of the post itself! It might look like this: #fleeg001 – and that will be the hashtag you use if you want us to easily find your answer. Remember, it'll be hard to find your answer otherwise, and you wanna be highlighted, don'tcha?
Once you've submitted your response, that's it! You can sit back and relax, knowing you've Fleeged successfully.
Feel free to check in the next morning to see if YOUR answer made our highlight reel!Other Big Questions
Q: What does it mean to "get featured"?
A: Getting featured means that we liked your answer so much that we wanted to show the whole world! We'll take your answer and use it in a video that highlights the best answers for that particular Fleeg. It's why giving a good answer is so important!
Q: How do you determine who gets featured?
A: A great question! Unfortunately, the secret to our judging of Fleegs is just that... a secret. What we CAN tell you is that we look at a variety of factors, some being effort, explanation, creativity, and so on. It's more about your answer and how it's presented. Don't get us wrong, though - if, for example, one person submitted an answer in the form of a highly-produced, TV-quality level video, then it would get just as much consideration as someone who just shot a simple video of themselves on their phone! We aim to be impartial where we can. That's part of the fun! Truly anyone can be highlighted!Q: Do you accept bribes?
A: Legally, we're gonna say no. (Illegally, we'll say YES! YES! ABSOLUTELY, YES!!)Q: Are there any major rules to keep in mind?
A: Not really! We suppose the biggest thing is to have fun! We do ask you keep in mind that due to life and work circumstances (we do have jobs and lives outside of Fleeg...), we likely won't check any answers that have been submitted after a certain time at night. But that's about it! Oh, and try to keep things SFW (safe for work) when you can. (You never know who might be seeing your answer, aside from us of course!)Q: Why not make an app?
A: Cade here. When I was working on the plan for this game, I wanted almost everyone to be able to play without having to download anything extra or go through anything like that. I know there's a lot of people out there like me that may find something they enjoy, but the moment they have to download an external app, they lose interest. Besides, by being playable on most major social media platforms, it encourages everyone to participate! From the boomer grandmas on Facebook to the lil' rizzlers on TikTok, this game truly is for everyone!Q: Why not make Fleeg! a daily thing?
A: Cade here again. Don't get ahead of us! That's actually a part of the long-term plan. You see, when I was hosting this game in a groupchat, the most amount of answers I'd get in any given day would be somewhere around 15. And 15 answers are easy to sort through. But with Fleeg! going public, it opens the door for tens, hundreds, maybe even thousands more answers than I previously would have gotten. So, to allow for a more fair experience early, Fleegs will only be posted twice a week. If that happens to be too few, we will adjust and add more. After all, I still have a full-time job!Q: Will Fleeg! remain free?
A: As long as we're in charge, yes. We have confidence in Fleeg!, and we understand that there's the possibility of future revenue streams. The core "gameplay" will always be free, and the main Fleeg that gets posted every day (or twice a week starting out) will always be free. Until we sell out. But that's a long ways from now, if it ever even happens.Q: What is a "Fleegling?" Why not "Fleegers"?
A: "Fleeglings" are our fans, and anyone who participates! It helps create a sense of community to those who like the play and share the game. As for why we didn't go with "Fleegers", we felt that the word seemed a bit harsh, almost like an insult or a slur. We wanted the people we address to feel appreciated, and we think that "Fleegling" does that well. Great question, though!Q: Haven't you said "Fleeg" enough?
A: On the contrary, we don't think we've said it enough! Fleeg! Fleeg! Fleeg!Q: I think this is a dumb idea. Why would anyone participate in this dreck?
A: Well, sorry that you feel that way, but Fleeg! isn't here to impose upon you. It's just a silly little game that we have fun putting on, and those who play it have fun participating in. It's a small timekiller that takes away from life's monotony. A nice, little distraction that brings some people joy. Is that so bad?Q: What if I have a question not covered by this FAQ?
A: Well, that's no issue! Simply go to the homepage (you can click the word "homepage" to the left if you need a quick link), and fill out the contact form at the bottom of the main page! We'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.Well, those are all the major questions we could think up. Yes, even the silly ones. (We like having fun around here.)
