If you are like me that hate CAPTCHA, you will agree with me they are quite frustrating damaging the urge for one to complete an online form, survey or drop a comment. most of these CAPTCHA are easily bypassed, nullifying it purpose.
I recently stumbled on PlayThru also called Areyouahuman CAPTCHA system while shortening a URL using ow.ly.
PlayThru is the CAPTCHA replacement that makes people smile: a set of quick, simple mini games that delight users and stop bots in their tracks. It doesn’t offer any images, any codes, any math problem or any other puzzles to users. Instead it offers highly attractive small games which your users can play during sign up process.
PlayThru uses HTML5 and JavaScript, with Adobe Flash as a fallback. It automatically checks a user’s browser specs and serves the appropriate version, whether mobile, desktop, modern or ancient browser. It works on both iOS and Android, too. The technology integrates with multiple CMS platforms, including WordPress, Drupal, phpBB, and vBulletin.
