Contests

Looking for a unique challenge as a participant of the Community Game-Along? Test yourself with these special contests for different prizes (prizes being bragging rights and maybe special icons in your card on the participation page).

Participants who can get one bingo will earn a special icon on their participation card. But how many bingos can you actually get? Read on for what each panel means in detail. The CGA icon in the middle is a free space. Download the bingo card above (or screenshot it if your browser makes it hard to download pictures here), and then fill it out as you progress through the month. You may post about your progress on social media, or share your progress via DM in the Chic Pixel discord, or through BlueSky @communitygamealong.
