Downtime can be entertaining

Don’t you just hate it when a site you trying to visit is down for maintenance? It usually causes users to get ticked off, especially if it ends up happening too often. This actually happens to Crazy Egg more often then we’d like because of the constant upgrades and tweaks we do. Due to this we decided to create a Crazy Egg maintenance game.

Great idea. Love the game too. I just wish you could go up and down too.

Awesome idea and an equally awesome game.

Awesome idea and game! You should make that available to users all the time 🙂

Justin, we would do that but we are creating a much better game for Crazy Egg.

Great game. Just wasted 30 minutes of my life. I’m addicted.

This is a great idea. I think more people should implement this. Rather than seeing a site down and just turning away, this way people might actually stick around in the hopes that the site will soon be back up.
