"What if just knowing what a word meant could help feed hungry people around the world? Well, at FreeRice it does . . . the totals have grown exponentially."

- Washington Post

"Web game provides rice for hungry . . . FreeRice went online in early October and has now raised 1 billion grains of rice [by November 9]."

- BBC News

"Addictive, yes. But . . . each correct answer results in the donation of rice to help feed the hungry around the globe. Perhaps that qualifies the game as a good addiction . . . one with redeeming qualities, something that's, oh, didactic and edifying."

- Kansas City Star

"People from all walks of life and from around the globe have written in to express their appreciation for the game . . . Secretaries admit to playing it during boring business meetings."

- Christian Science Monitor

"FreeRice.com is one of the most ingenious websites of 2007. In the best spirit of the Internet, it offers education, entertainment and a way to change the world ― all for free."

- CBS Evening News

"Every grain of rice is essential in the fight against hunger . . . FreeRice really hits home how the Web can be harnessed to raise awareness and funds for the world's number one emergency."

- UN World Food Program

"A teacher of fourth and fifth graders on the Yurok Indian reservation in Klamath, CA, . . . emailed the WFP. 'My students absolutely LOVE the FreeRice site. Almost daily they earn several thousand grains of rice!' she wrote. 'You cannot imagine the joy in my heart when I look out and see 25 kids doing vocabulary work and enjoying it.'"

- School Library Journal

"Feeling guilty about wasting time on computer solitaire? Join the growing guilt-free multitude at FreeRice.com, an online game with redeeming social value."

"The Web site offers a greater gift, the gift of awareness about world hunger."

- NPR National Public Radio

"What type of computer game could get kids excited about learning vocabulary words? One that also helps feed hungry people around the world!"

- Scholastic News Magazine

"'It's fantastic,' says the World Food Program's Bangladesh director. Adds a 32-year-old widow living in a refugee camp with her 8-year-old daughter, 'I depend on the rice.'"

- People Magazine

"FreeRice is a triumph of converting passivity into engagement."

- New York Times Magazine

"A simple way to bring kids to the Internet for a good reason, a way to feed their minds and . . . to feed a whole lot of people . . . helping fight world hunger, one grain of rice at a time. "
