Twelve Days of GAMELAND - Ready for some GAMELAND Swag?

*This PUBLIC event is being hosted on Facebook and is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Facebook.*



What is the TWELVE DAYS OF GAMELAND?


In the twelve days running up to the official launch of the next GAMELAND installment, Jessie's Game, on December 13th, I'll be giving away a horde of fun and valuable zombie goodness.

Each day I'll post a series of trivia questions from the series and associated books (Infected, Velveteen, and Golgotha) and points will be awarded to those who join, reply and share, with more points going to those who answer early and correctly. At the end of each day, points will be converted into entries and the winner(s) of that day's prize(s) will be randomly selected and announced the next day. Chances of winning are proportional to the points earned that day. 


Even incorrect answers earn entries!

There will also be a Rafflecop raffle hosted on this page for a Kindle Fire with the winner chosen on December 13!

BUT HERE'S WHY YOU WANT TO ENTER EARLY AND OFTEN

Every entry earned during the twelve days accumulates and will be added to the final raffle of a KINDLE FIRE on December 13th!

Current and new subscribers to my mailing list (as well as those joining this event) will automatically be entered and eligible to win, so if you're not subscribed to the TANPEPPER TIDINGS, do so now here:

TRIVIA CONTEST:

Each day from December 1-12, I'll post a set of 3-4 questions at 8AM PST on the Facebook event page wall. All but one question will require a correct response. To make it a little more fun, one question will be next to impossible to get right, so if you're not the first to answer the others (correctly), you could still earn THE BIG POINTS. (Example of a tough question: "How many times does the word "Gameland" appear in the actual story of Season One?) The first to answer everything correctly/closest will win 10 entry points.
