After you match a pair of pictures, it seems to generate a multiple choice question about the brand. IIRC I got a question when I picked the wrong pictures for a pair too, but at that point I was trying to figure out what I was supposed to do so I'm not sure. You can "win" without getting all three matches right and/or without answering all of the questions correctly.

This is just my opinion, but points is points. Yes we all want to win more & win often, but it's an instant win of points ranging from 50-20,000, along w/ 4-night stays at individual brands & the GP prize of stays at all 29 brands. I don't regard that as a shoddy sweeps, but that's just me. I know a # of people who have entered & aren't pissed off at Marriott. Perhaps that's something unique to FTers? 
It's worth entering at least once, as it only takes 1-2 minutes, & odds are you'll win something. If you (generic you) win, great re: whatever it is you won. Move on & don't waste the energy of getting irritated/pissed off. Save that for the true issues, like the lousy IT integration! If you're interested in the GP, then keep entering knowing that's all you're in the running for after the first instant win.
Cheers.

Either the game is set to give you one prize only, then entries all other tries, or they have a bug where the "once per day" rule is incorrectly counting days and thinking that each subsequent entry is the same day as the previous. I'm curious if anyone played once, then waited two or three full days and played again, and if it awarded more points on the second try.
It doesn't matter how quickly or accurately you do the matches or answer the questions... you just need to get the game to proceed to complete it - there's no penalty or reward.
