Hello PSNProfiles! Welcome to the Christmas Scavenger Hunt Giveaway Game #2! It's Christmas season again, so hopefully this will be a fun Christmas themed trivia / scavenger hunt type game event for everybody for the next month. To get a general idea of how this game works, see the previous years rules and results. There are a few changes this year, so be sure to read all of the rules! Quote First, an important note: DO NOT POST your responses in this thread. PRIVATE MESSAGE me @B1rvine via PSNP mail (or send your answers on Discord), with the exception being for the optional bonus question, which will be used to bump this thread. TLDR version of the rules. Private message me your responses to each question. Each response should be a single answer (not two or more answers) to enter the contest. Your responses should be the most unique -or- most common thing you can think of. After answering questions #1 - 9, answer the bonus question to be entered in the raffle. Your answers will be compared to everyone else, based on how common (or unique) the answer is. A prize will be awarded to whoever has the highest score, as well as the lowest score, and a random raffle winner. Full Rules: General Rules: Each participant must answer contest questions #1 - 9 via private message either with PSNP mail or Discord to me, B1rvine, or BeyondtheGrave07. Each question should only be answered with a single response or example. Additionally, each participant can opt to answer the bonus question publicly in this thread. After completing the questions, players are entered in the contest, and the raffle if they opted to answer the bonus question. The deadline to respond will be Thurs, Dec 31th, 11:59:59 US EST. Objective/Scoring: Each player starts with zero points. Depending on which prize you're after, the objective will be to end with the lowest possible score OR highest possible score. After the deadline, everyone’s answers will be compared to each other. Any answer that is completely unique that nobody else comes up with is worth 1 point. For answers that are shared by two or more people, points are awarded equal to the number of people sharing that answer, multiplied by the number of other groups totaling the same number of shared answers, plus the number points from previous tier's scoring bracket (minus 1, by ignoring unique answer scores). See the chart below: Quote Sample Question: What’s the name of a character in Assassin’s Creed 2? 1 player gives a unique answer of “Warren Vidic.” 3 players give a shared answer of “Rodrigo Borgia.” 3 players give a shared answer of "Leonardo Da Vinci." 10 players give a shared answer of "Desmond Miles." 15 players give a shared answer of “Ezio” One player would get 1 point. Six players get 6 points. Ten players get 16 points. Fifteen players get 31 points. The bonus question does not count for any points, but enters you in the raffle. Prizes! First Place Prize (Smallest Point Value closest to Zero) = $50 PSN Card Code (or $100 if we get 100 participants.) First Place Prize (Highest Point Value) = $50 PSN Card Code Second Place Prizes (for both High and Low) = $10 PSN Card Code Random Giveaway = $10 PSN Card ( I'll work with international winners to get physical PSN cards or work something out as well! ) Finally, the questions! -If- you think your answer will be confusing, or obscure, please explain your answer. Hint: Use a search function if you can't think of anything. #1 : Let's start off with a close repeat of last year. What's the name of a naughty or nice PSNP staff member who has a special color? #2 : Everyone loves brand new sparkly toys. What's the name of a PS5 game: either already released or planned for released in 2020? #3 : Hopefully Santa's elves will bring everything on your list. What's a game that has an elf in it? #4 : Hopefully you're giving gifts back to the fat man. What's a game that has a trophy with the word "Cookie" in it, or a trophy image of a cookie? #5 : And he'll need some milk too. What's a game that has a trophy with the word "Milk" in it, or a trophy image of milk / milk carton? #6 : Beyondthegrave07's question : What's a game that has "snow" on the box cover (or if a game is digital only, the app image)? #7 : Holidays are hopefully with friend & family gatherings. What's a game that requires 8+ simultaneous boosters for a trophy? #8 : Hopefully you all have wonderful memories of previous holidays. What's a PS1, PS2, or PSP game that the main protagonist or antagonist is a "traditional / iconic" Christmas figure / character? #9 : I haven't asked about Christmas trees yet. What's a game that has a Christmas tree image as one of its trophies? BONUS QUESTION : What is your favorite Christmas movie? Good Luck!

TehUberCheezCatz Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 bonus - It'd have to Polar Express, I suppose, based on sheer watchtime 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Duderino Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Well, the bonus question will have a different answer here in the thread for obvious reasons. I'll go with either Home Alone or the first Die Hard movie. The first two Home Alone movies are amongst the very few flicks I actually bought on DVD/Blu-ray. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugaSonic Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I think I'll pick the first "Die Hard" as my favourite Christmas Movie. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntroPhenom Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Bonus question response: A Charlie Brown Christmas. I was saddened when I heard it wasn't going to air on public television for the first time since its debut (stupid Apple TV), but then PBS announced they would air it, and 2020 became a little less awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beyondthegrave07 Posted December 2, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2020 I submitted my answers before looking at anyone else's. I think I picked some pretty clever answers. Last year I gave a prize to a random person who got a lower score than me... This year, I'll give away a prize to anyone who gets the same score as me. If there are multiple people have my score, they can all win prizes. if no one gets the same score, I'll just pick whoever is the closest. It'll probably be a $25 card unless 10 people+ tie, then I might just do $10. Haha. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
