The Facebook Game

Setting The Trend

Here is where I made my mark.  Pass A Joint was the first viral marijuana game that I have ever seen.  I programed and set it up on Facebook in late 2009.  The response was enormous.  At it’s peak Pass A Joint was seeing 1,000,000 “hits” a day.  The ride was not an easy one, and for an independent developer navigating the corporates, it was no picnic.

First they acknowledge Pass A Joint’s existence by suspending the game.  It seemed that rolling a virtual joint was just too much for the internet to handle at that time.  When the censors  got to the game, it had developed over 1,000 users in just a few short days.  There was an uproar and a Facebook page created, “Bring Back Pass a Joint”.  The corporates must have thought about the traffic/money factor, and came to their senses.  I was “allowed” to set up Pass A Joint again, and the floodgates opened.

I keep the game up and running because people still use it – not many though.  It has seen it’s glory days.  Find the game here -=> https://apps.facebook.com/passjoints  find the application page here -=> https://facebook.com/passajoint
