Best Game Room Competition Rules

It’s time to enter the Best Game Room competition! Entry period opens at 9:00 AM ET Tuesday, November 2, 2022 and closes 11:59 PM ET Sunday, November 20, 2022.

In order to enter the Best Game Room contest, you must fulfill the following requirements:

• 1. Title your room `[BGR 11/22] (Game Name)` (Example: [BGR 11/22] Fashion Yeti). Room submissions that do not contain `[BGR 11/22]` at the beginning will not be considered. This step should be completed last and only done when you are fully ready to enter the contest.
• 2. Only one entry per person. You may only name one room as [BGR 11/22] (Game Name). If you have more than one room with that name, none of your rooms will be taken into consideration.
• 3. Write the rules and expectations for the event. This is the information you say in-game if a player asks, “How do I play?” These will be shared with Staff when they come to test your room.
• 4. Test your event with your friends and the community! Community engagement is integral to a game (and making sure it runs smoothly), and will be used as a judging factor when picking a winner. Try to run your event a few times on the Guest Rooms list to add points to your community engagement factor in judging.
• 5. You cannot build for another person or let another player build a room for you.
• 6. Rooms must follow the expectations and remain appropriate. Rooms that are deemed inappropriate will be subject to disciplinary actions.
• 7. You cannot enter a room if you have won a Best Game Room contest within the past three months.
• 8. You cannot win both the Best Game Room and Best Guest Room competitions in the same month. Feel free to enter both if you choose, but you can only win one contest each month.

Once your room is ready for submission, title it appropriately as outlined in number 1 above. After your room is entered into the contest, a staff member will contact you to do a run through. *You will not be considered fully entered until you have tested your event with staff and they place a judging flag in your room. This means that if you do not have a flag placed in your room by the deadline, 11:59 PM ET Sunday, November 20, 2022, your room will not be considered for the competition.*

The contest entry period will end on 11:59 PM ET Sunday, November 20, 2022. The Best Game Room winner will be announced in the following month.

The winner of the Best Game Room competition will receive:

• 1 x Best Game Room 2022 Pin
• 1 x Jungle Cruise Explorer’s Tent
• VIP Badge on their Character for the following 2 months
• 50,000 Credits
• Player’s Game will become a HOST event during the following month*

The winner of the Best Game Room competition will not be able to enter a room for Best Game Room  contest for a 4 month period following their win.

Prizes for this competition will remain the same for as long as the competition runs. The only change that will occur is the Best Guest Room Pin will change on a yearly basis.

The top 3 additional rooms that were not selected to win will receive an Honorable Mention 2022 pin. Players receiving the Honorable Mention title are allowed to continue participating in the Best Guest Room competition without any cooldown period before entering again.

When you are ready to enter the competition, you must have `[BGR 11/22]` at the beginning of your title. A judging flag will be placed in your room when it has been reviewed and tested with staff. The judging flag will not be transferred to the player account after the competition is complete, so if you store the flag it will be lost forever. *Do not rename your room until the results are announced, even if the room has a judging flag. You may lose your qualification if the room is renamed before the competition has concluded.*

To state explicitly: there are no participation prizes for this competition. There will only be 1 winner and 3 honorable mentions.

For additional transparency: the winning player will be given the opportunity to help host their event during the official HOST event time. In order to help host, the player must be online 15 minutes prior to the start of the event. If the player helps host an event for 30 minutes they will receive 1 winning prize and 1 consolation prize for that event. If the event is extended for a full hour, the player will receive an additional consolation prize.

Good luck to everyone, we cannot wait to see your creativity shine!
