What is the Twelve Days of Christmas Community Challenge?
Each day starting from Sunday, December 1st through to Thursday, December 12th, the TA Community and Events team are going to reveal a new challenge at 10:00am UTC. The mini challenges will involve unlocking certain types of achievements — for example, unlocks from a certain genre, or achievements that have a certain flag or Gamerscore value. Each consecutive challenge will require one more task to be completed than the previous one, just like the Christmas carol. You can keep track of each new daily challenge by checking the news story on the TrueAchievements homepage, or by checking the event hub once the challenge is live.
To make things a little easier, you have until the end of December to complete the full set of 12 challenges — you don’t have to complete them on the day they come out. You also don’t need to worry about other unrelated achievements you unlock on the way to completing a certain challenge, since you won’t fail the challenge by unlocking something that doesn’t meet the requirements. However, you do have to complete each challenge in order to unlock the next one — achievements won’t count towards the challenge for Day 8, for example, if you have only completed up to Day 4.
Once you’ve registered for the event, you will find a panel on your homepage that will always display the current challenge you are working on. Underneath will be a link to all of the locked achievements in your Game Collection that could satisfy the current requirement.
How to register for the Twelve Days of Christmas Community Challenge
Just head over to the Twelve Days of Christmas hub and hit the “Register now” button on the right-hand side of the page to join in.
Players can continue registering throughout the event but all of the daily challenges must be completed by 10:00am UTC on January 1st for them to count.
Is there a prize?
Everyone who manages to complete the entire list of challenges before January 1st at 10:00am UTC will get a Community Challenge badge on their profile (or a colour upgrade to the existing badge, for those that have participated in our challenges in the past).
