Photograb Halloween Contest opens today!

it's a big day for Shufflebrain  - we're running our first sponsored contest! For the next 7 days, we invite you to make Photograb games from from your best Halloween photos, and invite your friends to play your games. The top players will win cool prizes - and eveyrone who plays gets to see a special "spookified" version of Photograb, plus a discount code for BuyCostumes.com

This event is especially meaningful to me - because I'm a longtime happy customer of buycostumes.com -- for real -- I've bought my kids' Halloween costumes there for the last few years. So through a set of happy circumstances, ShuffleBrain's first brand relationship is with a terrific company that I personally love and am loyal to.

Visit Photograb now to check out the contest and win cool prizes! I can't wait to see the crazy, funny, spooky, and creative games that everyone makes.

Photograb Beta is LIVE!

Our first game, Photograb, is now live on Facebook. Login to Facebook and play Photograb today!

To stay up-to-date on Photograb and give us feedback on the game, please join our facebook Beta group. We look forward to seeing you in the game!

What is Shufflebrain?

ShuffleBrain is a startup company building smart games for social networks. We're inspired by the recent explosion of Brain Games, and passionate about creating personalized, lightweight, socially connected games that keep you sharp.

We're launching the beta version of Photograb on Facebook in a few weeks. PhotoGrab is a gaming environment where you play your friends' photos — and turn your own photos into SmartGames for your friends to play.

If you enjoy lightweight games — and love to share digital photos with your friends — this game is for you. To be among the first play Photograb, join the PhotoGrab Beta group on FaceBook. We’ll notify you when the public beta is launched.
