Two Point Campus News

Hey Pointians,

The promise of spring’s arrival is, well, just that, a promise! And right now, amidst all of these downpours, it’s looking as though the spring fairies are sleeping in this year… Now, they do say April showers bring May flowers, but don’t you just wish we didn’t have to wait that long? Us too! How about we cheat a little and inspire the season to skip a few steps? Dig out your gardening forks for planting, if we’re to encourage the season along we’ll need all the spring bulbs you can carry!



Across the next week, it’s time for a good old spring cleaning, to spruce things up! No more excuses for being rough around the hedges. We want to see the greenest, the brightest, the most floral of campuses in the County!

To enter the competition, first, build a seasonal Campus that embodies everything Spring. Then, post a screenshot of your Campus (or Campus section) on social media. You can pick the platform of your choice from Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Discord. To be entered, all posts must include #SpringTPCampus; we’re not dandy-lying when we say not to forget the competition hashtag!

Dig out your gardening gloves, get the hot cross buns toasting and create a floral paradise to get lost in; in our Spring Creativity Competition! For some inspiration, check out our blossoming ideas below (and we know you can do better!):



We can’t wait to see your best blossoming Campuses, so let your creativity bloom! The competition opens now, 14th April, and runs until Monday 24th April, 10 am UTC when entries will be shortlisted.

Entries will be shortlisted by a panel made up of some of our lovely devs. Each panel member will individually choose their favourite builds, those favourites are then added up to create the studio shortlist. From that shortlist we’ll find our champion, through the power of community vote! That means that part is down to you (yes, YOU!). You’ll all be able to vote on our forums to crown the winner from those shortlisted. We be-leaf in you!

The community-chosen winner will receive a swag pack of a-may-zing Two Point merch, alongside a physical copy of the game!



So remember, to enter the competition: post a screenshot of your entry on the social media platform of your choice (either Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or Discord), including the competition hashtag #SpringTPCampus! By including the hashtag, the bouquet of blossoming builds will make its way to us!

Not sure where to start? When in doubt, add flowers!

Pointians are walking on literal eggshells to navigate the aftermath of another of Silverbottom’s grand ideas. To sort out this rotten mess, they need your help (yes, we really need ALL of you) to pull off the speediest of spring cleanings. Take on the Egg & Silver-Spoon Race where you’ll be on the hunt for eggs from Wiggy Silverbottom’s prized collection.

Missed out on our Spring Update announcement? Check out the full update 6.0 blog here, where we show off the entire basket of springtime treats.



[h3]What’s the Challenge about?[/h3]

Two Point County is in dire need of a spring clean-up. To lend a hand, play the new challenge mode level: Egg & Silver-Spoon Race to collect hidden eggs. In the most ultimate of egg hunts, you’ll be on the lookout for surface-level finds whilst your Egg Hunting students head down the Rabbit Hole to uncover peskier eggs hidden deeper underground.



Now, no one can say for sure exactly how he pulled this off, but apparently, there are ONE MILLION (?!?) eggs stashed countywide. We need everyone to pitch in before things turn rancid, so, we thought, what better way to turn a sour situation around than making a game out of it?

SO! We’re entrusting you, our lovely community, with the massive challenge of cleaning up after old Silverbottom. Hunt down every last egg he’s stashed, to collect the grand total of one million eggs in our new seasonal Challenge Mode level.



To bag the biggest prized egg collection in all the County, you’ll need to buff your fluffy cohort’s academic performance to help along their eggs-cavations. And, outside of the classroom, complete as many objeggtives as possible to reveal clues leading to even more cracking finds…

[h3]Community Challenge Details[/h3]

We’ll keep count of how many pesky eggs you’ve hunted down starting NOW. You have until midnight, 20th April to track down every last one to find ONE MILLION collectively.

No matter the score, every egg helps if we’re to clean up Fitzpocket’s mess. Whether you get a gold medal or no medal at all, your score matters! Plus, you can replay the challenge as many times as you’d like to keep contributing. If the community hits the goal, Pointians across the County will be absolutely overjoyed to escape the eggy curse. They even have a lovely spring-themed item in mind to say thank you to you all.



To see how the community’s collective efforts are coming along, the in-game newsfeed will update with a progress bar across the next few days, plus we’ll be cheering your efforts along over on social media too! Once the goal is met, we’ll make sure to show off your new in-game item over socials so no one misses out.

[h3]Summary[/h3]

Take on the new Challenge Mode Level to collect as many eggs as you can! All scores contribute towards the community total, and you can replay as many times as you’d like. If the goal is met before Tuesday, all players unlock a special new in-game item.

Challenge Mode Level: Egg & Silver-Spoon Race
Community Goal Total: 1 million eggs
Deadline: Midnight, 20th April
Prize: A very special seasonal in-game item!

Flowers are budding all across Two Point County, enough to make sure every bunny has an absolutely cracking day!

Over the next week, it’s time to ring in Spring the right way, make sure to not be late for this very important date as we spring into an ear-resistible bonnet of Spring surprises, whether it’s items ready for blossoming, a couple dozen eggs, or bright new customisations, we’ve got the update that’s sure to ruffle some feathers. Let's hop to it:

Now Spring isn’t all sunny side up, alongside a basket of springtime treats, we need your help cleaning up the egg-related chaos that’s been unleashed all across the County.

[h2]New Challenge Mode[/h2]
You'll be heading down the Rabbit Hole in our latest seasonal challenge: Egg & Silver-Spoon Race! Wiggy Silverbottom, with his trademark combo of excess free time and a surplus of bad ideas, has decided Freshleigh Meadows was in dire need of some ‘egg-citing’ activities this spring…



He's only gone and buried the ENTIRE priceless collection of Fitzpocket Eggs! In the most ultimate of egg hunts, be on the lookout for surface-level finds, whilst your Egg Hunting students head down the Rabbit Hole to uncover peskier eggs hidden deep underground.

To bag the biggest prized egg collection in all the County, you’ll need to buff your fluffy cohort’s academic performance to help along their eggs-cavations. And, outside of the classroom, complete as many objeggtives as possible to reveal clues that lead to even more cracking finds…



[h2]New Items & Outfit[/h2]
There’s something in the air! Is it the hum of neighbouring mowers? Or maybe it’s the pollen count? (… help). No matter the annoyances, mother nature has bought a blossoming bounty in our latest seasonal selection!



The whole County is ready to celebrate all things bright and beautiful, so give your students and staff a good hare-day with the new Bunny Ears outfit, and give your campus a Spring clean with new in-game items. There’s something for every bunny! (…although if we catch you about to take a bite of the lovely Chocolate Rabbit we will NEVER forgive you).



[h2]New Things[/h2]

• New Challenge Mode Level: Egg & Silver-Spoon Race
  
• A selection of blooming lovely new items:
  
  • Three new wallpapers
    
  • Spring Chickens
    
  • Chocolate Rabbit
    
  • Spring Meal
    
  • …a super secret surprise item for completion of the Community Challenge!
    
• Hare-raising new outfit Bunny Ears hat for staff and students
  
• New Main Menu theming with a temporary green-thumb touch

If you’d prefer your campus without the touch of a green thumb, don’t worry, there’s an option for you! Head to the settings menu and scroll down to find the Seasonal Content toggle to control the seasons (didn't realise you trained in Dark Arts?!).

Nothing blooms forever. Don’t forget, all items and our Spring Challenge Mode will remain in-game even after the event window. So you’ll be able to enjoy the content in your own time, all we’ll do at the end of the event window is give the main menus theming a little trim.
