Abstract:
A system and method for gamified crowdfunding over the Internet in order to crowdfund worthy or charitable causes while offering incentives and rewards in the form of an entertaining game and the potential added benefit of a share of the proceeds. Proceeds from the gamified crowdfunding could be shared between the worthy cause and the high scoring donor-participants. A host identifies and selects, through a contest or other selection process, a cause or beneficiary to be featured. The host possesses or owns a server with a processor and memory in which to store a game of knowledge or skill and the game interface and that server is accessed by users via a network. Through the game, queries and answers are exchanged. Through a personal computing device, a user creates an account, pays funds to support a cause, and competes and interacts with the game and other users.
