Here is how it will work:

  • Below you will find a list of challenges you can complete at home over the next week (12:01 a.m. MT on September 14th - 11:59 p.m. MT September 21, 2014)
  • When you've completed a challenge, simply tweet @sparkfun with a photo or video of your project, which challenge it fulfulls (the "color" of the challenge) and the hashtag "#myfairegame." We will be using this hashtag to tally your complete challenges SO DON"T FORGET! For example you would tweet "Hey @sparkfun - I just completed the red challenge! #myfairegame - [attached picture]." You will need a Twitter account to participate in this competition - but it only takes a few minutes to set one up!
  • Once the competition has ended, we will tally the results and send you a discount code based on how many challenges you completed. Complete all 10 challenges = 25% off, 5-9 challenges = 20% off, 1-4 challenges = 10% off.
  • Lastly, you must register using the EventBrite form below. It's completely free and this will give us a way to contact you after the competition has ended so we can get you your prize!
