Contest Rules
A.K.A. How to Win Loot Without Summoning a Snail Lawyer
Twisted Trivia Press runs contests because it’s fun, it’s chaotic, and it keeps the emus occupied.
These rules apply unless a specific contest page says otherwise.
General Rules
-
Eligibility: Open to U.S. residents, 18+ (or the age of majority in your state). Void where prohibited.
-
No purchase necessary to enter unless we explicitly say otherwise. Buying something does not increase your odds of winning.
-
One entry per person per contest unless the contest page says otherwise.
-
Prizes: Typically books/merch under $50. No cash alternative. We may substitute a prize of equal value if needed.
-
Taxes: Winners are responsible for any taxes or fees (if any apply).
-
We can cancel/modify: If something breaks, gets abused, or the emus chew through the cables, we reserve the right to adjust, suspend, or cancel a contest. (We will try not to be monsters about it.)
Type A: Fact/Flush Skill Contests
(Example: “Get all Fact? or Flush? calls right”)
-
How to enter: Submit answers through the official entry form (usually a Google Form).
-
How winners are determined: This is a skill contest. Winners are typically the first eligible entrants (timestamped) to submit a fully correct entry or the best-scoring entries by the deadline (as stated on the contest page).
-
Tie-breakers: If needed, ties may be broken by earliest timestamp, a tie-break question, or another method stated on the contest page.
-
Final call: All judging/scoring decisions are final. No appeals. No sob stories. No bribing the emus.
Type B: Suggestion / Creative Contests
(Example: “Submit gags/titles/mascots/ideas — best entries win”)
-
How to enter: Submit your suggestion(s) as instructed on the contest page.
-
How winners are determined: Winners are chosen by TTP (or a judge we appoint) based on creativity, originality, and how well it fits the project. All decisions are final.
-
Important: If you submit ideas, you also agree to our Idea Submissions terms.
