Please enlighten me on how they work. My understanding is that captchas usually either involve challenges for humans or require proof of work (some computation). I found the idea of this game along the lines of a human challenge.


Captchas are usually used to separate humans and bots, typically with something a human can solve but a bot cannot. A bot would have no trouble at all with this game.


A bot will have no problem with the current captchas either. They're trivial to solve.


I think humans don't behave the same as bots when playing this game.


I think it will be easy for a bot to behave in a way that is indistinguishable from some human you don't want to exclude.
