- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, #STATECHALLENGE!!!
- It’s a birthday party!!! Dress up and decorate for a birthday celebration
Wear a hat? Have a balloon? How do you celebrate a birthday? Show us!!!1. HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY CONNECT!!!
- Did you see the request for a Connect Birthday PHOTO? Create a sign for the upcoming Connect birthday!!! Let’s create a collage from our meet-up to submit with everyone getting ready to celebrate the 5th Connect birthday!!!
In an effort to make sure that all attendees have a chance to become the KING/QUEEN of the featured state, we have decided to give all former Trivia Kings and Queens a deficit of “-200” points for each time they have previously won 1st place.
- This should give those who haven’t won before a better chance
- Provide some additional challenge to those who have won before
Here are our previous winners and their current deficits.
