WOODOKU TOURNAMENT

SKILL CONTEST – OFFICIAL RULES

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN.  A PURCHASE WILL NOT IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY IN THIS SKILL-BASED CONTEST.   CONTEST VALID ONLY IN THE 50 U.S. AND D.C. VOID OUTSIDE THE U.S., AND WHERE PROHIBITED.

 

OVERVIEW:  The Tripledot Woodoku Tournament (the “Contest”) is a fun way for players to test their skill and seek to complete a series of levels in a special journey (the “Event”) in the popular Woodoku game in the shortest elapsed amount of playing time to try to win the grand prize vehicle described in rule 5 below.

1. Eligibility: The Contest is open only to legal residents of the 50 United States plus District of Columbia, 18 years of age or older, who are physically present in the United States.  Employees and their immediate families (parent, child, spouse, sibling) and household members of employees, officers, directors, agents or members (whether related or not) of Tripledot Studios Limited, 201 Haverstock Hill, London, United Kingdom, NW3 4QG (“Sponsor,” “we” or “us”), its affiliated, parent and subsidiary companies, advertising and promotion agencies and anyone involved in this Contest’s production, development or handling (collectively, along with Sponsor, “Contest Entities”) are not eligible.  This Contest is subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations.  Void outside the U.S., and where restricted or prohibited by law.

2. How to Compete: The Contest will occur between 10:00:01 a.m. ET on August 13th 2024 through 09:59:59 a.m. ET on August 16th 2024 (the “Contest Period”). To compete, play Woodoku during the Contest Period via the free Woodoku app available through the App Store and Google Play.  There is no charge to download the app or to play.  To achieve a valid official Event-completion time in the Contest (a “Time”), you must do the following:

  • Complete all levels in the Event, not just the final level.
  • Complete all levels in the order presented.
  • Not use any automated, computerized, or algorithmic means of playing the game; any evidence of non-human play will be considered evidence of cheating and grounds for disqualification.

Your Time will be based on the total elapsed time you take to complete the entire Event as outlined above, excluding any time when you log off from the game and return to continue to play in the Event.   In other words, you can begin to play, pause/log-off, and then resume the Event, and your cumulative Time will be only the time that you actually spent logged in to play in the Event.   Sponsor’s database computer is the official timekeeping device for the Contest.  No other timekeeping system or device will be considered in determining a contestant’s Time.  You can only attempt the Event one time, and your first completion Time is the only one that counts.  Any attempt to compete more than once, whether by use of multiple names, email addresses, accounts, or any other means, is grounds for disqualification.

Time to complete the Event will depend on the skill of participants, and may vary significantly.  The estimated minimum Time to complete the Event will be in the range of approximately 2-3 hours.

3. Selection of Winner:   One (1) winner will be determined based on the fastest Time in which any eligible contestant has completed the entire Event in accordance with these Official Rules. All decisions of the Contest judges are final and binding in determining Times and selection of winner.  In the unlikely event of a tie, there will be a single playoff round to complete a new series of levels  between the tied contestants to determine the one (1) winner based on the fastest Time in the playoff round.

 

4. Validation. All submissions, game play, Event results, and eligibility are subject to validation and verification by the Contest judges, whose decisions are final on all aspects of the Contest.  The potential winner will be notified  by in-game popup within the Woodoku app and/or via the phone number associated with their Woodoku app account, on or about August 19th – 23rd 2024.  To see an in-app notification, Participants must open the app on the same device on which they completed the Event, and must not delete the app after completion of the Event. If a potential winner cannot be reached or does not respond after a reasonable effort has been exerted (and in any event within two (2) days after the initial notification attempt), if he/she is found to be ineligible, if he/she cannot or does not comply with these Official Rules, or if his/her prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, the potential winner will be disqualified and the contestant with the next-best Time will be designated an alternate potential winner and contacted as described above.


By entering, you agree to be bound by these Official Rules and all decisions of the Contest judges.  Each potential prize winner (his/her parent/legal guardian if a resident of a jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a minor) may be required to sign and return, within two (2) days after delivery to his/her address, a Declaration of Compliance with these Official Rules, a Prize Release and a Publicity Release (where legal) for use of his/her name, likeness, and biographical information without further notice or compensation unless prohibited by law.    Failure to sign and return these forms within the designated time period may, at the sole discretion of Sponsor, result in forfeiture of prize and selection of an alternate potential winner.  You are not a winner until you receive official notification as described above.   Contestants agree that their names as submitted for play in the game may be posted online and via mobile access as part of rankings in the Contest.
