[h2]Spooky salutations skele-friends, and welcome to our first Campus Creative Competition![/h2]

Grades aren't the only thing that can keep students on their toes, in the spirit of the spooky season, why not build some eerie environments for added motivation? Across the next week, we want to see all of your cunning creativity to construct the creepiest campus in the County in our first-ever Campus Creative Competition! Get your carving tools at the ready, and your creepiest creative juices flowing! To enter, send us the spookiest sections of your campus by posting on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook with #CreepyTPCampus.

To provide some inspiration (and we know you can do better!) here's some we made earlier!



Entries will be shortlisted on a spooktacular special edition of our dev stream next Wednesday, by a panel of judges from the studio. It will then be up to you (yes, YOU!) to vote for the winning entry.



The winner will receive boo-tiful Two Point swag, alongside a physical copy of Two Point Campus (and of course, endless bragging rights!)



[h3]So, to enter:[/h3]

• Submit your creepiest campus creations to our competition hashtag #CreepyTPCampus on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
  
  • This can be a full Campus, or just a small section of one. As long as it's spooky we don't mind!
    
• The competition starts now! Thursday 27th Oct, and runs until Wednesday 2nd Nov, 10 am BST.
  
• We'll run through entries on stream on the 2nd, where five will be shortlisted by our panel.

Can you feel the chill in the air? No? Just us? (Did we forget radiators again? Anyway...) We've got a HUGE treat bag stuffed with competitions and spooky goings-on in Two Point Campus for you all to ghoul around with, including our FIRST-EVER Community Challenge! Show us your best by braving the hoards of zombies at Noblestead to beat our high score.

Summoning all skullful strategists! For this season's challenge, the team at Two Point have set a hauntingly high score in The Siege of Noblestead, all we ask is... beat it! If ONE person bests the score of 501, they unlock a decay-dent new item for ALL players to decorate their Campuses with, the Pumpkin Trophy! 



Not sure what The Siege of Noblestead is? No problem! It's part of our brand-new game mode in Two Point Campus, Challenge Mode! In this level, you'll need to beat back an encroaching hoard of zombies to top our terrifying score. So, grab brooms, swords and mops alike to equip an army of security detail as Lord Blaggard requests your aid to rid him of the strange, groaning mob amassing on campus. Rack your brains for the best strategies to keep on top of invader-wreaked carnage!

[h3]Community Challenge Details[/h3]

• Challenge mode: The Siege of Noblestead
  
• Beat our high score of 501
  

To claim your glory after beating us, send a screenshot of your score by either:

• commenting on a Community Challenge post on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram
• or replying to the Community Challenge thread on our community forum

Once the score is beat, we'll celebrate loud enough to wake the undead, and all players will unlock a brand-new item: the Pumpkin Trophy! So, while you all knock heads to flesh out a strategy, we'll be shoring up in the SU to wait for all this to blow over.



Wondering what this is all about? Here's a reminder of everything in our spooktacular cornucopia...

[h3]Challenge Mode[/h3]

Delve into our new devilish challenges to cement your high score on the leaderboard. There are two challenges to get your fangs stuck into:

• The Siege of Noblestead - a groaning mob is amassing on campus (and no, it's not the morning after a party!). Lord Blaggard is in no mood for an undead horde, can you keep them at bay?

Need a refresher on the game? We've got you covered...

Build your university, your way!
It’s time to spin academia on its head! Got a yearning for learning? Or just keen to build an educational masterpiece? Campus is jam-packed with new creative tools to help you build the university of your dreams.

For the first time, build in the great outdoors as you develop your own delightfully educational campus environment, housing the top teaching facilities in the land. Whether you prefer building on simple foundations, or placing every tree, you can build the university you want.

Lay down pathways with new easy-to-use tools. Plant glorious collections of outdoor flora. Place benches, fountains, sculptures, hedgerows – even picket fences. The only limit is your imagination (and your in-game bank balance).

Not the usual fare...
But, of course, it wouldn’t be a Two Point game without a twist.

Rather than typical academic fare, students in Two Point County enjoy a range of wild and wonderful courses: from Knight School (hey, we all have to learn jousting at some point in our lives), to the salivatory Gastronomy, where your students will build mouth-watering concoctions like giant pizzas and enormous pies.

The academic year… is here!

Take advantage of the opportunity to spend way more time with the little people in your university. The academic year begins with a summer break, giving you enough time to get everything looking great before your students move in.

Build libraries, hire the best staff (from eccentric professors to madcap researchers), kit your campus out with the best courses and watch the academic potential of your students get unlocked!

Shaping the future
But it’s not just work hard. Get to know your students, explore their individual personalities, wants and needs. Keep them happy with clubs, societies, gigs.

Surround them with friends, help them develop relationships, furnish them with pastoral care and ensure they have the right amount of joie de vivre to develop into incredible individuals who will do the legacy of your university proud.
