Snooki Channels Her Inner Zuckerberg With New Facebook Game

Jersey Shore star Zucki ... uh, I mean Snooki, has just unleashed her first Facebook game.

Dubbed Snooki’s Match Game, it bears a striking resemblance to Facemash, Mark Zuckerberg's site from 2003 that challenged users to pick the hotter person pictured in two separate photographs.

The new game is simple and has two parts. First, it spits out six photos in each round -- one on the left that players match with one of the five photos on the right. Players guess which two people are dating based solely on looks. Part two involves players using a meter to rate which one of those two people is hotter. That's it.

Match Game records players' scores and ranks them in several categories, including "Couples Most Often Matched Correctly," "Longest Streak of Correct Guesses" and "User With the Highest Correct Guess Percent." Players also can invite friends to play, and submit couples to be put into the game's repertoire of photos.

Apps Genius created the game and last year signed a contract to make as many as eight apps and games for Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi. Previously, Apps Genius released a mobile app -- Snookify Me! -- in October that let people edit their photos to look more like Snooki.

“Nicole has a dedicated fan base, and it has been a pleasure working with her on developing games and apps for her followers," Apps Genius CEO Adam Kotkin said in a statement. "By offering it for free to Facebook users, we are utilizing an advertising model and will monetize the game through increased traffic and visibility."

Snooki, a New York Times best-selling author, alerted her fans to the game on Twitter.
