CLOSED: Nerd Games - Summer 2020

SUMMER BINGO FUN

This summer’s special event is BINGO! In a nutshell, it works like this:

  • Pick a bingo card
  • Match up projects to the spaces
  • Claim points
  • Get 10 points and win a prize!

The bingo cards!

Match up projects to the spaces!
These are not EXTRA prompts, you can use the projects you submit for the regular Nerd Games Battles, Monthly Prompts, Big Time, Research Projects, and even projects you DO NOT submit for other Nerd Game Prompts. Projects can only count ONCE towards ONE bingo card space on ONE bingo card only. Must be crafted between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

Claim points!
How do you bingo? There are 5 bingo options:

  • single line bingo - one line, 3 points
  • double line bingo - two lines, 4 points
  • outside border - all the spaces around the outside, 6 points
  • postage stamp - the four spaces in any corner, 2 points
  • blackout - all the spaces - 10 points

Claim your prize!
What are the prizes? I honestly have no idea YET, but I’ll do my best to make it worth it! To claim your prize, make a post with your completed card and links to the projects (or just pictures/descriptions of the projects you use to fulfill the prompts) and msg me! I’ll need an address to send your prize to.

I’m sure there will be more questions and I’m not explaining everything (it’s already been a long week and I’m tired and not thinking straight), so ask away (here or in a private message) and I will clarify anything that is confusing.

Happy Crafting!
