What is Freado.com?

Freado is the world's biggest book-winning site for book-lovers. Think of it as a book-giveaway site where book-lovers can win free books and other prizes. These include best-selling books, rare books, new books and even a Kindle. To win books, you play a simple game, accumulate points and use those points to bid for prizes.

What's the catch? Do I need to pay anything? How do you guys make money?

There is no catch. You don't need to pay anything to play the games and win prizes. We make money from participating authors who would like to have their books show up in the CoverMatcher game.

I'm an author and I'd like to have my book show up in the CoverMatcher game. What do I need to do?

Go to www.bookbuzzr.com and sign-up for 'BookBuzzr Games'. If you already have a basic BookBuzzr account, you can click on "Subscribe to BookBuzzr Games" on your author start page. Or contact us by sending an email to info@freado.com

How do I win a free book?

Simple. Play the CoverMatcher game which is a variation of the simple memory game that you used to play as a kid. Win points. Use these points to bid for the prizes or exchange for the grand prize lucky draw.

So the game really is like the game "concentration"?

Yes. The game is a variation of the game sometimes called "concentration." You are presented with 6 pairs of book-covers. Try to match the pairs in the shortest time. Each game should last less than 2 minutes.

How do I win a grand prize like a Kindle?

The grand prize is given away in the form of a lucky draw. To win, you need to accumulate the required number of points by playing the CoverMatcher game and exchange these points for the grand prize lucky draw e-coupon. On the day of the draw, a random winner will be chosen.

Hmmm. Feels like a lot of work just to win a free book ...

Actually, the CoverMatcher game is the perfect way to reboot and refresh your mind. You can play in short 5 minute stretches. It's perfect when you are sitting in a boring meeting. Or when you need to take a short break from whatever it is you are doing. Research also shows that playing such games keeps your brain young. As a side benefit, you get to discover new books in the genre that you like.

How is the game different from all the other games out there ... like Farmville and Mafia Wars?

In those games, you don't win real prizes. Here, you win real prizes. So you actually get something for your efforts :)
