Bogglific Avoids Facebook Deadpool - Reborn as Prolific

By Josh Catone / January 25, 2008 7:58 AM

At the same time as Hasbro/Mattel's well-publicized take down order of the uber-popular Facebook game Scrabulous (which is based on their Scrabble board game), they were also going after a far smaller app called "Bogglific." Bogglific, an online clone of Hasbro's Boggle game, was at the time played by over 7,000 users per day. A far cry from Scrabulous' 600,000, but certainly significant enough to warrant Hasbro's attention. After receiving the takedown order, Bogglific creator Roger Nesbitt announced his plans to shelve the game. "I'm no lawyer," he wrote. "But I have neither the time nor the money to fight this, and Facebook has given me a grace period of 48 hours to shut the application down voluntarily."

But a week after Bogglific was removed from Facebook, the application is back, sporting a new name, and some basic rule changes.
