The trivia game on a computer for wildlife experts.
Ideas for the development of the game as part of the Products Group resources. Maybe a good place for ads/ maybe there's a way to buy a playing card for 5-10 bucks (a password), then claim that very 100 plays sends a buck into sophisticated modern unified wildlife resource research. See also Test01 and Gamma Game for related ideas.
