Booyah Society Gives You Points For Doing Pretty Much Anything
“Booyah Society gives you points for everything from going to a new restaurant to hitting the gym to buying a new pair of shoes. It’s a neat idea, I guess, but it feels too broad to actually work. After all, what are you working towards? With gamerpoints, it’s fully completing a game. With the similar-yet-narrower FourSquare, it’s going out and trying new bars and restaurants. But this is just trying to get you to do basically anything. I appreciate that it’s fun to feel like you completed something when you buy a new shirt, but I don’t know if buying shirts gets me towards some goal or completion.”
