Review the Sponsorship Packet here for more info on benefits. Levels start at $100. Sponsors get free tickets to the event!\nDon’t forget! You MUST register using the email you used to create your Zoom account AND use this email to log into the event via Zoom on 12/19.  Need a Zoom account?  It’s fast & free!  Click here to create an account or to log in to confirm what email you need to register & play with.\n\n\n \nFAQ\nQ: What are the requirements to play?\nA: A computer or tablet\, internet connection and webcam (must have video & audio to compete!)\, and you must register & play with a Zoom email. \nQ: Do I need any supplies to participate?\nA: None! If you do have a tape measure though\, please have it handy! This will be helpful\, but not required. \nQ; Is there an age restriction?\nA: While some games may be easier to score more points in if you are above 18 (hint: decade-specific knowledge)\, this event is open to anyone over the age of 14. \nQ: What device should I use?\nA: While we strongly recommend using a computer\, you may also use a tablet. Phones will NOT be able to support the event activities. \nQ: When will I get my Zoom link?\nA: We will send the Zoom link to your Zoom account email the day of the event. \nQ: How do I make sure I’m playing with my Zoom email?\nA: Right before the event\, login to your Zoom account on your browser using the same Zoom email you registered with. Then\, there are 2 ways to join the event: 1) From your Zoom account\, click “Join a Meeting.” Then enter the Meeting ID located in the email we will send the day of the event\, or 2) after logging into your Zoom account on your browser\, head back to the email we’ll send with the Zoom link the day of the event and click the meeting URL. \nQ: Is it possible for more than 1 person in my household to play?\nA: Absolutely! If more than 1 person in your household would like to play then each person will need to register separately & will need to use their own computer (note: if you will be playing in the same room or close to one another\, you may get audio feedback/an echo. In this case\, you will need to disconnect audio on one of the devices). You may also participate as a team with other members of your household by registering one person only. In this case you will only need one computer/tablet\, but you will play together as one “player.” Only one person can play each game though so the household members will need to decide who plays each round. \nThis event is sponsored by: \n \n
