The question

Can one small website, built by one person, earn $1,000,000 before 1 January 2028? No investors, no big team, no marketing budget. Just free games people actually want to play, honest numbers, and a sense of humour about how unlikely the whole thing is. MillionDollarJoke.com is the experiment.

What this site is

It's a public social experiment. I want to see how far a ridiculous idea can go when it's shared honestly and with a sense of humour. It has grown into a playground for friends anywhere in the world: a Daily Challenge with a country battle, Trivia Showdown with questions about 194 countries, Who's Most Likely To for parties, Ludo and Draughts you can play online together, a Million-Dollar Idea Generator, and Hype Points with a global leaderboard. Everything is free.

How the site earns

The money comes from the same places as any website: advertising, sponsors, merchandise and optional tips from people who enjoy it. The homepage shows a public tracker with the running total and where each dollar came from, updated every month, including the embarrassing months. You never have to pay anything to use the site.

Who I am

I'm Amos Otieno Dola. I design, build and run the site myself and share the whole experiment in public, from the traffic numbers to the ideas that flopped. If you'd like to say hello, visit the Contact page.
