With regards to around the world, the concept and mechanics seem fun, having played for a bit.

The problem I have is that for a game about travel, it doesn't feel lived in. I started in Atlanta, and there is no indication that any other player had ever been there before. I see the wall functionality, but its not been used. It'd be nice to at least know who has been there before, who is still there and what not.

Also I noticed some of the jobs seem a little too much like jobs you would find on amazons mechanical turk.

Also the modals you're using are not as mobile friendly as they could be.

Thank you so much for that! Really helpful feedback (unlike the comment below).

My intention with the cities was/is to make it more "alive" with stuff like chat rooms or moving avatars but at the moment the game just doesn't have enough traffic.
I had hoped to build more interesting and interactive types of jobs other than just answering questions but without the traffic and demand I don't dare to invest the time at this point. Sorry for sounding defeatist.

Thanks for the tip regarding the more responsive modals. It's on the todo list.
