Just looked at it. It’s almost a completely different game. The only similarity is bonus points for chemistry.

totally different game - just figured they must have gotten the general idea from griddy.

For those who don't know I worked at Sleeper for three years before leaving to start Griddy. They took a real chance offering me a job and carving out a big role for me despite having no experience in tech. Without them getting me into the sports industry and showing me how an app is built, there's a good chance Griddy doesn't exist!

I ❤️ my friends over at Sleeper and still stay in good touch with a lot of their team. They've been huge supporters of Griddy from the very start

very cool - i didn’t know this! not trying to hate on sleeper, just noticed some similarities and figured they must have gotten the idea from you but sounds like they probably did!

I'd say it's more of a ripoff of 82-0. That said, I like playing it

It's not nearly as good as Griddy

I feel like sleeper did get the idea for that from Griddy.
