Gaming Blind Dates Event
For Valentine's Day, the Tildes Game Gifting Group is offering up a number of "blind dates" for any gamer who is interested in trying out something new. Each gift is a game, but you won't know the game's name -- only the top 4 tags describing the game. Select the tags which most interest you, then find out the exactly who the game is once it's given to you! Hopefully it's a keeper!
How can I participate?
You may choose to:
- gift a game/games as a blind date for others,
- go on a gaming blind date (i.e. receive a game gift),
- or both!
Steps to enroll:
-
Comment either in this thread here on Tildes, or in the thread on the Steam group (if you are already a member).
-
In your comment, identify whether you would like to gift a game, go on a gaming blind date, or both!
-
If you are not already a member of the Tildes' Game Gifting Group on Steam, PM me with a link to your Steam profile so that I can friend and add you (the group is invite-only).
-
If you are gifting a game, PM me or message me on Steam with the name of the game, how you will gift it (e.g. store purchase, key, etc.), and the platform it's on (if not Steam).
Timeline
You may enroll up through Thursday, February 13. Once all the participants have enrolled, the blind dates will be set up and will begin on Valentine's Day, Friday, February 14.
Additional Info
To ensure that giftees will have a good chance of liking their gifted game, we are requiring that gifted games have a combined user review score of at least 80%. You don't need to worry about getting a bad or junk game!
Games are given freely by their generous donors, and there are no strings attached or hidden catches. You ARE allowed to receive a game even if you don't gift one!
For other questions/specifics, full details are available in the event thread in the Steam group.
Note: If you do not wish to see this thread in your Tildes feed, please use the ignore function to hide it!
