$2,050
Resident Evil Village
Any% Village of Shadows
01:40:00.00
One of our standout contests happens to be our first! This speedrun Bounty launched with the site and sported our largest prize to date. It also proved out our Chase process, with several top-tier players exchanging the lead (and world record) over the course of the Bounty.
$548
Tetris
Classic Tetris World Record Challenge
>1,676,400
Sometimes, things happen - rules aren't always as clear as they should be, or new discoveries can trivialize the original goal. The Tetris Bounty tested - and showcased - our flexibility for responding to shifting circumstances and community feedback. It was also our most prominent score run Bounty and among our most successful crowdfunded contests!
$150
Multiple Games
46 Robot Masters
01:40:00.00
For some enthusiasts, mastering one game is just the beginning. This medley contest used our multi-game capabilities to rally an entire community to clear all classic Mega Man bosses in a row. Not only was this a creative goal, it was also among the first to not require full game completions.
