Peter Molyneux’s virtual piñata can’t use the name Curiosity because of NASA

By now you should be relatively familiar with Peter Molyneux’s upcoming experimental social game that was delayed till September for release instead of being launched yesterday. Dubbed ‘Curiosity’, essentially you tap on the block, along with every other player, in order to chip away at it. The person who lands the final tap will be the only person to see what is actually inside the cube.

You can pay money to have more powerful taps, giving you an edge over everyone else who isn’t paying money. There is also the infamous £50,000 item that can be bought to really whack away at the cube, should you have a random £50,000 laying around to spend on possibly winning what’s inside the cube. Peter Molyneux promises it will be something amazing and unique. As one of our reader so eloquently put it, basically this is a virtual piñata.

Peter Molyneux took to Twitter to explain the delay, blaming NASA for it because they can’t use the name Curiosity for the game. So the game is delayed until September in order to give them time to come up with another name.
