Blog entry Freerice in Motion

23 November 2011

Freerice like you’ve never seen it before! This brand-new video is another reminder that Freerice is not your average trivia game....

We hope this video will help introduce the site to new players. Why is that important? Because the more people who play, the more rice we raise and the more people we can help. So far, we have raised enough to feed almost 5 million people.

The power of Freerice lies in everyone doing our small part. So please share this video with friends and family, and let's rice up against hunger!

Blog entry This Week’s Pick of the Groups: NerdFighters, Finnish Free Ricers and a CBC presenter

14 October 2010

Since launching the new version of Freerice, we have seen over 55,000 people sign up and over 2,300 groups created. With such a range, finding an suitable or interesting group can be difficult.

Below are 5 interesting groups for this week’s pick:

Finnish Free Ricers: The group is created by Freerice’s top player, Verano, who has earned as an individual 2,520,000 grains since signing up! Finnish Free Ricers have raised more rice than any other group on Freerice.

Can I take my total from the old version to new version?

This is not possible. The new version works on a very different session and you would not be able to track your totals without signing up.

You can still play Freerice, as you have always done, without logging in. A cookie enables your browser will remember the number of grains raised. However, please note that your cookie session has an expiry date of 30 days. After 30 days, you will start from 0 grains again.

How do I create a group?

Here are the simple steps needed to create a group:

1. Ensure that you have registered yourself
2. Go to http://freerice.com/groups/create
3. Fill in the required fields
4. Upload an image by clicking on the upload button and navigating to where it is saved on your computer, double click the image
5. Choose if it is "open" (anyone can join) or "closed" (only those with an invite link can join)
6. Choose your subjects
7. Hit the "Create" button

If you created a "closed" group, you will need to send your potential group members an invite link.

Blog entry World Freerice Week: 6 Degrees of Freerice

02 February 2012

You may have noticed something different about Freerice.com. Here’s a hint - look up, towards the top right of this screen, just next to "About" and "English"? See it yet? Now you get the idea: we're launching the first ever, official World Freerice Week from February 6 - 11!

Where does Freerice purchase its rice?

Freerice has a policy of purchasing rice from the same country to which the rice is allocated. This means that we not only save on the cost of transporting the rice, more importantly we also support the local economy. We are able, in this way, to help more people.
