A Challenge to complete: 2020 is Hindsight (Misc)

We'll admit it: 2020 wasn't a great year. But we made it across and it's finally hindsight (and not a day too early!). And that's worth a celebration, right? With fireworks, community spirit and all that stuff we may have had to miss on New Year's 2020/21?

So it's time to look back on more than 20 years of FunTrivia and to reward our most dedicated and loyal members. There are seven ways to earn this badge and just one of them will add this beauty to your profile. Of course, if you can make it in multiple ways, you can tier up. Just like those Halloween quests, each complete task is one tier. Unlike the Halloween ones, however, these tasks are clearly spelled out for you. But, on the other hand, they are just a wee bit (okay a whole lot) more difficult and complex. If you're really good, you can make one of those in a little over a half year - but there are also ones that can keep you occupied for a decade and beyond.

Except for the Efficiency track, all of these look back as far as possible, after all we want to reward loyalty and celebrate our history.

Oh, free members can earn this one, but two of the tasks are Gold Member exclusive and two more are easier to complete if you are - or were - a Gold Member.

So here's how you can get this:


Loyalty Track: This is the easiest, but also the longest way. All you need is to have been a member for 20 years. However you do need to claim this one, after all, we don't want to reward one-day wonders from July 2000.


Efficiency Track: Has that 22,222 requirement on that Everything Challenge kept you frustrated? We'll lower it a bit just to celebrate. All you need here is 20,202 points. However, as we're in for the long run, you'll need to do it 202 times. The Evil Twin actually wanted to make it 2,020, but we want to celebrate, not ask for the impossible.
Note: If you want to attempt this, it's strongly recommended that you pin the Everything challenge to your homepage, that way you can claim your daily credit with one click.


Victory Track: This is one for the predators and dinosaurs of Quizzyland. Win 20,202 duels. That's all it takes.


Variety Track: This site would not be here if it were not for the quiz authors, so it shouldn't be a surprise we do have an authoring task in the mix. To complete this track, you need to earn 20 authoring rainbow badgelets, and upgrade them all to tier 2 or above. (Which, coincidentally, happens to be complete set of them, all bronze or better.)


Community Track: No celebration would be complete without friendship and team spirit. To complete this track, you need to be an active contributor to the community - have posted on the chat boards and/or team boards on 2,020 different days. This track will not show your exact progress - we do not want to encourage "oh I have only 40 days to go but nothing to say" posts.
Small print: It shouldn't have to be said, but just for completeness: We do reserve the right to reset progress here on anyone who is consistently spamming the boards.


History Track: What says "celebration of the past" better than retired badges and badgelets? If you want to complete this track, you need to own 20 of them. Yes, that's a whole lot and essentially impossible to get in 2021 if you haven't taken part in some of the Amazing Trivia Races, but remember that there'll be a Halloween badgelet every year, the two December seasonals count as retired in the other months and we will keep occasionally offering limited edition awards. So it will only get easier over time.


Tenacity Track: You want a really high number? 20,202 isn't enough for you? Well, how about 20,202,020? Because that's the number of points you'll need to have earned to complete this track. However, as a "2020 is hindsight" special, we'll allow you to add up your regular FunTrivia points and your team points to reach this total, which should make it about half as evil.


Diversity Track: What about quizzes? We can't overlook those. But we won't just say "play 20202 of them" - that would merely be a rehash of a Quizzer tier. Let's make it a bit more interesting: Play 2,020 quizzes in each of the 20 categories. But there's a silver lining: You won't have to do great, because every score of 20% or better counts. That should make your worst categories a bit more bearable!


PS: If you find a pattern in those numbers, you may keep it :) [ 468 winners so far. ]

A Challenge to complete: Mind Melt Winner (Very Difficult)

Let's find a synonym for liquefy... good.
Now how about the opposite of freeze? See, easy.
But a word related to "ice cream" should stump you. No?

Okay, let's try a bit harder:

Synonym for be bothered? Opposite of body? Related to gap?

If I got you with the last one, you should probably travel to London to find out. If you like this kind of questions, Mind Melt is the challenge for you. Just win your daily division in the timed version of the game and you'll be a proud owner of this award. [ 9399 winners so far. ]
