I really liked the concept of this game! I think I would have liked there to be a BIT more sense to the options, though. I couldn't really grasp what was considered 'funny' based on the options I was given, and seemed to get decent points even if the words didn't even make a sentence that made grammatical sense/contextual sense AT ALL. Or was it just points for getting the right types of language in in time? Either way, great concept, would love to play again if there was either a bigger word bank or more levels with feedback on what the game considered funny/effective!

Thank you so much for playing! Good suggestion on having more words to choose from. Our scoring was based on word2vec and we wrote a script just to create the embeddings for the relative word scores. The tutorial mentions how the punchline should "match" the setup meaning the words chosen should be similar. Glad to hear you liked the concept :)
