At the moment, all of the answer in the middle are the same color. This is a problem because unless the user is keeping track, it's hard to remember which answer was given to which player.

The solution is to have different colored score boxes for each player. Then each answer should match the color of the player who was awarded points for that answer.

Currently matching a potential answer is an exact string match. But "usa" and "united states" should technically both be considered the same answer. Because of this, the answers array should be an object with a shortValue and a list of other acceptable answers. A possible structure:

{ shortAnswer: "usa", answers: ["usa", "united states", "united states of america", "u.s.a."]}

Then checking the answer would require iterating through the list of 'answers'.

If the user refreshes the page, the session is lost which makes just about every thing useless at that point. Might as well redirec tthem to the front page where they can start over.

Sometimes during play, the user is about to enter the answer and the question changes. This makes them have to delete the text in the text box so that they can start typing their answers for the new question. It would be helpful if the box would just clear when the question changes.

Avoid XSS

People aren't realizing that there is a timer.

Newcomers aren't realizing that they have to input 5 answer. A set of blank lines that eventually get populated with the answer will go a long way to improve this.

After watching other people play, it has been noticed that people are not realizing when the question changes. Might be a good idea to add animation

At this point in time if 2 players can not reach 5 answers, the game will just stay there. Should allow the ability to move on after a specified amount of time per question.

Create a popup with an explanation of how to play and some information about the game such as the github link and a link to meteor.

If geolocation is enabled, show a location under where their username to show where they are playing from.

Makes it easier for people to figure out what's going on.
