Please note: We are currently experiencing difficulties pulling user data from Xbox Network. We are actively working on resolving this issue and hope to have it fixed within the next few hours. Any games you play and achievements you unlock will be captured as soon as we resolve the problem, so please feel free to start 12 Days as usual. We will provide updates on this situation as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your patience.
We’ve had nearly 4,000 gamers sign up for the Twelve Days of Christmas 2023 Community Challenge event, and it’s time to unveil the challenge for Day 1:
Challenge 1: A Gruesome Fatality
For the first challenge, you need to earn a single line in Genre Bingo.
Earlier this year, we introduced a brand new community event called Genre Bingo, which has been very popular. Given its success, we are bringing Genre Bingo to the 12 Days event! When the challenge begins, we will generate a random 5 by 5 grid for you, with each square assigned a popular genre. To mark off your squares, simply unlock an achievement from a game with the same genre applied. It’s important to note that games on the site can have multiple genres. We will use the first matching genre (based on the order on game pages) that you haven’t unlocked yet to fill in the squares.
Your goal is to complete one bingo line, either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal to complete the Day 1 challenge. This means it is actually possible to complete this challenge with just 4 achievement unlocks, with the center square being a “free” space.
The key points are:
- You can click the squares in your bingo grid on the 12 Days panel on your homepage to see the games in your game collection with that genre
- You can click the View challenge button on your event progress page to view your bingo grid in full
- You have until the end of December 31st to complete this and all of the other 11 challenges
Challenge 2 will be revealed at 10am (UTC) tomorrow.
Good luck!
