Introducing the Winter Game 2021!
by richretyi
The question we get the most at the end of each summer is, when will AADL create a Winter Game? The answer this time is now! Sound the trumpets, bang the drums, stir the hot cocoa, and twirl those boxy noisemaker things you can only find around New Year's!
The Winter Game is coming—January 4, 2021.

Thanks for Another Amazing Summer Game!
by richretyi
Thanks for playing the Summer Game 2020! We had a lot of fun putting the Game together, and we loved seeing all the creative home codes Summer Game players created on their own. We can't wait to get back to Summer 2021 for more codes, badges, fun, and games!

Badge Drop #12: Good to the LAST DROP!
by nicole
It's almost UNBELIEVABLE, Summer Gamers! It seems like just yesterday we were kicking off our SG shenanigans, slipping on our flip-flops and looking ahead at a nice, long summertime full of sun, fun, smiling awkwardly at people with our EYES ONLY, and, (of course!) BADGES!
But — YIKES! — those early days FLEW right by as we all got into SUMMER -- reading, watching, listening, or WHATEVER NEBULOUS THING SUMMER MEANT TO YOU!
So now we're at The LAST Badge Drop, with just DAYS left (the rest of today, Saturday, and Sunday until MIDNIGHT) left to EARN POINTS and collect ALL THE BADGES YOU POSSIBLY CAN!
If you CAUGHT BADGE FEVER long ago, and have been been working away at each series, today's Badge Drop is ESPECIALLY exciting for YOU. WHY, you ask? Because it rewards you for things YOU'VE ALREADY DONE!
Pretty cool, right?
So, if you've already visited ALL of the parks, you'll ALREADY have the ARBOR MASTER BADGE! If you've been REELY GOOD at keeping up, you'll have the BEST OF THE WES badge! Likewise, if you've tracked down all the right SPACE-EXPLORING SPECIES, you're a total SPACE CADET! Which is much more exciting than it sounds!! And of course, there are still a few more days to become MASTER OF THE BADGE-I-VERSE and earn some more MASTER BADGES!
Don't worry quite yet about spending all those points you've been wracking up — THE SHOP will remain open until September 7th. All orders will be ready for pickup in late September, but due to REASONS no orders can be filled until then!
Badge Drop #12
We LOVE bringing Summer Game to our players, and whether you played a little or a LOT, we want to say AS ALWAYS...
THANKS FOR PLAYING!

Badge Drop #11: Deal or No Deal
by ohheyitselle
This is it, folks... THE FINAL(ish) DEAL!!!
First on the agenda, we need to take a moment to give you all a round of applause. This summer we have raised the STAKES, upped the ANTE, took things UP A NOTCH, and all sorts of other idioms and you all have DELIVERED!
BUT WE'RE NOT QUITE DONE YET! This is the last badge drop before the ever-so-coveted MASTER BADGES are released!
This week we have an array of badges to SWEETEN the Summer Game DEAL! From DOMINOES to (chocolate) CHIPS, we've got it!
Are you gonna PASS or PLAY?!?
Badge Drop #11
Some of you may be asking, "Where are my badges for collecting home codes?" Well, dear player, we're saving home code badges for next summer when it's easier for everyone to go out into the world for code collecting, but we see you, Super Home Code Scorers, and we're VERY impressed!
OH, and as always, THANKS FOR PLAYING!

Badge Drop #10: We're Halfway There!
by nicole
Can you believe it? We're halfway through with August already, which means we're halfway to the END of Summer Game 2020!
It's time to finish up those reviews and tags! It's time to earn the badges you've been saving for a RAINY DAY!
It's August 14th, and that means TODAY is your very last day to make a home code!
Wow. We've had a pretty great summer considering this BONKERS year, and it's not quite over yet! Today is FRIDAY, and we're proud to present you another BADGE DROP!
These badges are about HISSSTORY, and CRUMBLY COOKIES, and WILD WOLVERINES! Plus, explore exotic places like OUTER SPACE and ATLANTA!
