Come Out & Play – The New & Improved Version

In case you haven’t noticed, it’s that time of year again. Come Out & Play 2015 / 2016 is here and this time, it comes with a huge improvement over last year.

This year, in cooperation with the contest’s administrator, Treehugger21, we have completely revamped how you enter your claims and interact with the COAP system. We now have a fully interactive game board for you to use.

On the board, you’ll find a Scrabble-like board with all of the words for this year found on the board. You can click on each letter of a word and it will bring the word up along the right, with the letter selected. You can then enter in a GC code, save it, and move on to the next letter. You can even enter all of the GC codes for an entire word at once using the new CSV option.

Once a word is completed, you can “Verify” the codes by pressing a button, and the system will automatically check if you have found or hid the codes you entered. If they are valid, you can submit it as a claim. If not, you can make adjustments as needed.

And for those of you who complete the board, we now have the ability for you to enter your own words into the system so you can keep playing.

The new website also includes extensive help on how to use the system, a private messaging system to stay in touch with the admins, and a full forum for you to interact with other players within the game.

The game starts on December 1st, at midnight. Check out the new website here.

We hope you enjoy this year’s round of Come Out & Play.
