Since the launch of the new beta version of Freerice on 24 August, 2 days ago at the time of writing this post, over 79 groups have been created raising over 653,900 grains of rice - sufficient to provide a meal to 68 people. Not bad for a beta game.

One group in particular, TheSpeedGamersCommunity, is leading the way. They have raised 152,080 grains so far.

Close on the heels of TheSpeedGamersCommunity are the groups Fighting Hunger, Freerice Addicts and Muslims Fighting World Hunger.

You can increase your groups score by:
- inviting your friends to join and play using Facebook
- holding a tournament
- using bribery

Other suggestions?

Many thanks to all the groups and players!
