Subject: FunTrivia Triathlon Begins!
Posted by: Terry
Date: Feb 08 12
A new "mini game" has been added to our hourly games: The FunTrivia Triathlon
This game and all of its awards are open to all players -- non gold-members included.
The triathlon consists of 3 events:
1. The Mixed Hourly Game
2. The Easy Hourly Game
3. Who's the Smartest Hourly Game
At the top of each hour, players who scored in the last of each of these games to most recently close will receive a triathlon score, which is the sum of those 3 scores.
So if you score 400 points in the 9:00 to 10:00 hard game, 300 points in the 8:30 to 9:30 easy game, and 650 points in the 8:45 to 9:45 mixed game, you will end up with a triathlon score of 1350 points at the 10 AM triathlon scoring.
Triathlon scores will be posted at the top of each hour here:
Recent Triathlon Results
Players are divided into two divisions, to give our newer players a chance to compete.
There are 4 new badges that can be won in this mini-game:
Note that this is considered one of our more difficult games. Triathlons are not easy, and neither is this game.
