How it Works

Play for Kid's Sake attendees can participate in our Play and Win Game. When your group checks out and plays a game from the Play to Win table, every player in the group gets one entry into the drawing for that game.

How to Enter

When you check out a Play to Win game, your badge will be scanned and you will be added to the drawing for the game. If the other members of your group are with you, their badges will also be scanned and they will be included. If anyone who plays the game was not with you during checkout, they can have their badge scanned at check-in or you can write down their badge number and hand it to the person checking the game in for you. We will make sure that badge is added to the drawing.

How many times can I enter?

You can play as many games as you like, but you only get one entry per checkout. The play and win computers will not allow multiple entries per checkout. If you play multiple times, you still only get one entry per checkout. The goal is to let as many people as possible play the games.

What about short games that we play several times on one checkout?

We assume that all groups will play a similar number of times for short games, and everyone will get one entry per checkout. In cases like this, please keep the game for a reasonable amount of time and then check in, and all players who played will get one entry each.

Can I immediately check a game back out?

No, the game must go back into circulation to let everyone have an opportunity to play games. We want as many groups as possible to get chances to play the most popular games.

Can my group check out a stack of games and then play them all back to back and check them in at once?

Please do not do this. This is game hoarding, and we want all games in play as much as possible. If you plan to hold onto a game for a long time, please utilize our Library, and not Play and Win.

Can I play my personal copy of a game and get an entry into Play and Win? What about the Library copy?

We do not allow personal copies to count as Play and Win entries. If you check out a Library copy of a game included in the Play and Win, ask the Librarian to update the Play to Win entry for you.

When are Play and Win games given away?

All Play and Win games are given away on Sunday. The final checkout time for Play to Win games will be 12:00 PM. All Play to Wind games must be returned to the Library by 2:00 PM. Winners will be announced at 3:00 PM.

What if I can’t be there on Sunday?

You can give your badge to a friend, and they can pick up your game for you. You don’t have to be present to pick up the game, but your badge does.

What about games that are unclaimed?

We will make a valiant effort to give all winners a chance to pick up their games. Any unclaimed game at the end of the announcements will be redrawn.
