Whenever we hold special offers you always get to see the final result only. But you may be missing out on the occasional anecdote and the tried and tested Ashampoo decision making process.
Boss: We've always called it scratch game, we need something better. Nitpicker: The boxes appear blurred on my smartphone. Boss: Later. Get creative, people! Editor: "Scratch" sounds a bit icky, etymology-wise. Marketing: We need something fresh that appeals to the people! Web design: Is this monitor true-color? The red was supposed to look different. Marketing: Just fresh won't cut it. We want them to be excited! PR: We might also put this on download-action.com. Boss: Guys, brainstorming! What are the things you like to scratch? Tester: Haha! Editor: G-rated? Not much! Marketing: Excited isn't enough. We want to blow them away! Nitpicker: It's more about scraping that scratching. Scrape game. Boss: Not scrape game. It's scratch card, not scrape card. Nitpicker: But you scrape a win, not scratch it. Support: We still got other things to do... Marketing: The wording must emphatically prompt people to visit the page! In droves! Nitpicker: The coin used for scratching should be in local currency. The Hungarian forint... Web design: This monitor can't be true-color can it? Almost violet... Boss: Stick to the topic! Marketing: The wording must motivate people like never before! Carry the Olympic spirit! PR: A Uzbek page would also like host the game! Editor: You might try to paraphrase is, someway... Support: Do you still need us here? Nitpicker: People don't know beforehand which program they're going to get. Is that fair? Boss: Scratch away! Scratch! Marketing: We need to launch a scratch pandemic! Fantastic! Epidemic! Support: We still have a lot of other things to do... PR: The East Berlin Scratch Game Association has also shown some interest. Editor: Maybe something like a rhyme... Nitpicker: We could briefly display an overlay that shows what they can win. Tester: Maybe use a gun to shoot to clear the boxes? That would be fun! Web design: We can't implement that. Boss: No shooting! Scratching, just call it differently! Nitpicker: Scraping!
...
Boss: So we can all agree on scratching game? Everyone else: Yes.
And here it is. The scratching game.
The game requires Javascript to work. If you are using No-Script or similar browser extensions, please disable them temporarily to play the game. Alternatively, you may also try a different browser.
My luck is showing. I keep getting lemons!
Keep on trying!
won first time
will try later, and thanks.
A great marketing iniative.
Thanks, Sven, much clearer now!
Is there a free upgrade of the program (two releases back is a bit too far)?
Not a free update, but a lower priced one. Just open the program, click on the "My Ashampoo" menu, there should be a upgrade with a discount.
I encountered the same problem as many others, the whole image moving making scratching/scraping impossible. HOWEVER, quite by chance i clicked on the link just above the game panel........and was taken directly to the game site THAT WORKED PERFECTLY! Hope this helps the other frustrateds out there! I scored 2 nice photo programs which I will probably never use because I'm not into photographs myself, but they will make great prezzies for those who do! Thank you Ashampoo and all your unsung workers!
Oh dear... It´s just a screenshot below to show a preview . :\ I´ll remove it.
Oh, dear...
"Support: We still have a lot of other things to do..."
Yes, you do...
(1) Game is not working. Javascript on. Four browsers all give the same "picture dragging" result.
(2) Lots of difficulty logging in. Email address not recognised. No problem logging in to main site. Tried to create a/c here - "already receiving newsletter" or somesuch, Eventually got in, not sure how.
Great program Merry Christmas and many thanks
I your programs work as well as this then you're in deep trouble.
It's Christmas NOT April fools day!
A few English speakers experienced issues with the game while others did not. We are currently trying to determine the reason for that.

COULD NOT SCRAPE ?

The programs downloaded, but the files could not be found to start the program.
That sounds strange... I tried this at home well - without problems at all!
Do you have a mouse clicks keyboard macro recorder?
The worth of the above may have been lost in translation but it seems to me like a waste of time reading it.
I like the scratch game, I received three lovely gifts.
Thank you very much.
Mike.
What a wonderful idea, thanks.
Merry Christmas to all at AShampoo
I've tried the scratch game. When I click and hold the coin to scratch, the whole image moves with the coin so scratching does not occur.
Please click on the link. :) The picture was just a preview.
the scratch/scrape coin doesn't work....can't click and drag.? was this done by the nitpicker? (o:
Sorry your window doesn't work!! When I click the coin (or anywhere on the red part) I get the same window to drag around.....
Cool game! Great guys!
cheers - where to I get the key from
