Contest

Some games are known to be very challenging while other times we find something in particular challenging within them. Overcoming such challenges can be quite a defining moment for a gamer. Tell us about them. This could be playing in hardcore mode where the slightest mistake and your character gets killed resulting in starting over from scratch. A very challenging riddles or puzzles and how you solved it and your approach to such a thing. That encounter that you spent forever learning how to do everything perfectly on so you could get the win. The challenges you overcame to acquire a high rank or score in a game and so much more. Tell us about challenging gaming moments.

This is about gaming in general and it could include: card games, board games, puzzle games, and video games. It could focus on you in general as a gamer or be more selective towards guilds, gaming development, game mechanics, lore and so much more that you have found to be challenging gaming moments. These are just a couple of examples so don’t feel limited to just these when sharing with us. We look forward to reading your entries!
