Telltale Games - Annual Halloween contest

Annual Halloween contest - be creative, win big!

October 7, 2008

Pumpkins beware! After much deliberation*, we're bringing back the Halloween contest for a third incarnation. And with Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People in full swing, we're extending it to the Homestarrunner.com universe as well as Sam & Max!

How does this contest work?
It's easy! (Or complicated, your call.) Just come up with something creative that relates to Sam & Max and/or Strong Bad and submit it to us at contest@telltalegames.com to be considered. Halloween themes are optional, but we love 'em! The deadline is October 28, and we'll announce the winners on Halloween.

Not sure what we're talking about? Take a look at some of the previous entries...

2007 winners | Some other 2007 entries | 2006 winners | Some other 2006 entries
Of course, we're not suggesting you go out and do exactly what these people did. In this contest, creativity counts! So come up with something awesome, artistic, or completely ridiculous. The best entries tend to be the ones that make us go "what the hell?" for a few seconds before we get the joke.

The contest will be judged by Telltale staff and some of our closest friends (quite possibly including Steve Purcell and the Brothers Chaps). We'll choose three winners.

Okay, blah blah blah. What are the prizes?!
Each winner will get to choose between a Sam & Max prize pack (Season Two downloads plus collector's DVD, soundtrack, and case file) or a Strong Bad prize pack (Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People downloads and Strong Bad Emails 3-DVD box set), PLUS one of the t-shirts we sell in our store (you choose the style and size).

To help you comprehend the massive awesomeness of these prizes, here are some gratuitous graphics...

Are there any other rules?
Yes. Don't do anything illegal or that would make baby Jesus cry. Also:

Send your entries to contest@telltalegames.com with "Halloween contest" in the subject line. Your entry must be received by 9:00 am Pacific time on Tuesday, October 28 to qualify.
You can submit as many entries as you like, but can only win once.
Please don't send attachments over 2MB. If your entry is bigger than that, host it somewhere else and send us a link. (Our server thanks you!)

*Okay, there wasn't really any deliberation involved.

	Comment by HOLY CRAP! October 7, 2008, 2:54 pm

	Crap, I have the Season Pass, but I want that DVD! If you win and already have the games, you can gift the downloads to a friend and still keep the hard goods for yourself. It's the prize that keeps on giving!

	I hope my photo gallery idea will be good...
	Comment by someguyfromazoo October 7, 2008, 4:45 pm

	Thanks Emily. So if I win, you'll give me a download link or something, and I pass it to a friend?
	Comment by Strongsadioware October 7, 2008, 7:35 pm

	Something like that, yeah. :)
	Comment by Emily October 7, 2008, 10:17 pm

	It's more likely a discount code that changes the price from some monies to no moneys at checkout. Also: Is this limited to one cool thing per person, or can one guy send in a few cool things as entries?
	Comment by Rather Dashing October 8, 2008, 12:17 pm

	You can send in multiple entries, but you're only eligible to win once.
	Comment by Emily October 8, 2008, 12:55 pm

	What to do... What to do... GAH! IT"S SO HARD TO BE CREATIVE!!!!!!!
	Comment by Max the greenhorn October 8, 2008, 1:35 pm

	Oh, it'd be pretty ridiculous to expect to win ALL THREE SPOTS. And pretty greedy, too! I just have a few cool ideas already, and I was just wondering if I could send it in as an entry if I got around to getting more than one of them done. Thanks for the answer!
	Comment by Rather Dashing October 8, 2008, 3:05 pm

	I'm thinking about doing a Max Pumpkin. Also, sence I have SB Figurines and the Cheat Commandos...maybe I'll add that too.
	Comment by Strongsadioware October 8, 2008, 4:16 pm

	BTW, The Max Pumpkin is not like the other entries.
	Comment by Strongsadioware October 8, 2008, 4:20 pm

	I wonder what i'll think of. I have a dog so maybe something like one of that sam thing. With the fact that homestar is allowed this year maybe something like that.
	Comment by Gman5852 October 8, 2008, 5:32 pm

	Ooh, I have an idea to make a Homestar costume! I'm not shure if it'll become a reality, but if it dosen't, are sketches allowed?
	Comment by Ben Again October 12, 2008, 9:21 am

	goody! time to do some thinking... college can wait :)

	If you win and already have the games, you can gift the downloads to a friend and still keep the hard goods for yourself. It's the prize that keeps on giving! OOH OOH OOH! GIFT ME!

	Comment by dio97 October 13, 2008, 3:02 pm

	Nifty stuff.
	Comment by BadStrong October 13, 2008, 3:59 pm

	Does it need to be sam and max or homestar related?
	Comment by Obsolete Critic October 15, 2008, 1:08 pm

	should I?
	Comment by r.m.p. October 17, 2008, 12:26 pm

	So, how exactly are you gonna send the DVDs and T-shirts to me- I mean, the winners? And willthe season pack be the PC or Wii version of SBCG4AP (as there's the gift system for Wii)?
	Comment by Compy 386 October 18, 2008, 1:38 pm

	its time for a sb pumpkin
	Comment by Redrot October 19, 2008, 6:46 am

	OK, I've entered, but it's probably rubbish.
	Comment by purplebunny October 19, 2008, 3:08 pm

	I wish I had money. I could make something really cool if I did.
	Comment by Strong Bad Fan October 21, 2008, 10:44 am

	I'm too lazy to make something.
