Abstract

A game is provided that may be run on a client device of a customer. The game identifies one or more registered domain names and generates one or more available domain names for use in the game. In preferred embodiments, all of the registered and available domain names are linked in some manner to the customer and/or are in one or more categories selected by the customer. The domain names may be displayed one at a time and in a mixed order to the customer. The customer may guess whether each displayed domain name is registered or available for registration. The customer may be provided the correct answer after each guess and a 'Results' page may display the results of all of the customer's guesses. The customer may be given the option at various points in the game to register any of the displayed and guessed upon available domain names. After registering one or more of the available domain names, the customer may be taken back into the game at the same point the customer left the game.
