I'm impressed that the Borderlands mini game got such a great response. I toyed with it a little, but since we were playing an exclusively co-op game, there wasn't much time to really explore it. Also, I can't remember what the rewards were for playing, but they didn't seem to add much to the overall game - not for me, at least.

Yet, if all that was the case and it still racked up 130 million solutions? That's very good and shows the potential in this idea. A mini game that rewards cosmetics or currency for cosmetics would work in so many of today's live games.

Yes, I agree completely!

I've never played the game (sadly) but mostly because shooter-looters aren't too much my thing, but I love that the developers and scientists found a way to incorporate the science game into the game.

I'd love it if some of the games I keep going back to had a game like this, tied to cosmetic rewards. It would be a fun and benign way to generate interest and engagement for the science game!
