Daily Free Play Question Cards (“Q-Cards”) appear in a user’s Game Screen at about 00:15 Mountain time.
Members can also choose to purchase from Three (3) guess options available in the store. Bronze guesses allow Members to enter One (1) guess in a single guess box on any Host’s challenge. Silver guesses allow the Member to enter Two (2) guesses by entering an initial guess in a first guess box, and a backup guess in a second guess box. Gold guesses allow the Member to enter Three (3) guesses by entering an initial guess in a first guess box, a first backup guess in a second guess box, and a second backup guess in a third guess box.
If a Member uses a Bronze guess and guesses incorrectly, they will receive One (1) point and Zero (0) Fan Queue entries. If a Member uses a Bronze guess and guesses correctly, they will receive Six (6) points and One (1) Fan Queue entry. If a Member uses a Silver guess and guesses incorrectly with both guesses, they will receive Two (2) points and Zero (0) Fan Queue entries. If a Member uses a Silver guess and guesses correctly with only one guess, they will receive Seven (7) points and One (1) Fan Queue entry. If a Member uses a Silver guess and guesses correctly with both guesses, they will receive Twelve (12) points and Two (2) Fan Queue entries. If a Member uses a Gold guess and guesses incorrectly with all three guesses, they will receive Three (3) points and Zero (0) Fan Queue entries. If a Member uses a Gold guess and guesses correctly with one guess, they will receive Eight (8) points and One (1) Fan Queue entry. If a Member uses a Gold guess and guesses correctly with two guesses, they will receive Thirteen (13) points and Two (2) Fan Queue entries. If a Member uses a Gold guess and guesses correctly with all three guesses, they will receive Eighteen (18) points and Three (3) Fan Queue entries.
Users who play using purchased guesses accumulate points submitting guesses whether correct or incorrect. Users who play using Daily Free Play may submit guesses but will not earn points. When a Member reaches 50 points he/she can choose to redeem those points for Ten (10) Fan Queue entries (at any time) into Host’s Fan Queue. This is termed “Crashing the Queue” and may be executed when a Member has sufficient points. If a Member has Zero (0) entries they will gain Ten (10) entries. If the Member already has entries, Ten (10) additional entries will be added to their existing entries, and 50 points will be deducted from their tally. A Host receives One (1) point for each guess submitted by a Member in response to their challenge(s).
During an Active Session, challenges become available as soon as they are sent by the Host and remain so for (either/or), 1) a Four (4) hour time period; 2) the limit of Members allowed to respond is reached; 3) the Host enters a pending answer(s) for any unanswered challenge(s). For simplicity, these criteria will be referred to as: “(either/or), 1); 2) ; 3) (whichever comes first)”.
When a Host ends an Active Session prematurely, a popup message appears indicating when there are challenges that meet criteria described in (either/or), 1); 2); 3) (whichever comes first). These challenges are collectively termed “PENDING” and the Host can choose to (either/or), 1) return to the PENDING list and answer any unanswered challenge(s); 2) allow the remaining time needed for PENDING challenges to complete; 3) allow the set limit of Members allowed to be reached; 4) end the Active Session prematurely.
When Members submit guesses they are initially awarded points at the time of the submission. When the pending criteria to satisfy (either/or), 1); 2); 3) (whichever comes first) is satisfied, Members with correct guesses will gain Fan Queue entry(s) and receive any remaining points depending on the guess level (Bronze/Silver/Gold) used. However, any guess(s) submitted by a Member(s) in response to a challenge(s) left unanswered in PENDING by a Host will remain in PENDING status until an answer(s) is/are entered. This means, those guesses will NOT be included in a search to compare an answer(s) to guesses and promote Members to the Fan Queue. Also, the Member(s) will not gain the remaining points until the Host enters the answer(s). Members can check “MY FAN QUEUE ENTRIES” in the pull down menu to view entries from past “PENDING” unanswered challenges at any time.
Challenges are created by a Host entering a title, a question, and an image on a Q-Card. Hosts may set limits on the number of Members allowed to respond per individual challenge and, has the option to decide when to enter an answer. Hosts may strategize as needed as long as they follow the GroupQueue Terms and Conditions. Entering content in the question field other than a question, leaving the answer field blank, and uploading an image must be done in accordance to our Terms and Conditions. When an Active Session ends, all FULLFILLED and PENDING challenges (with the exception of unanswered PENDING challenges) will clear. The Top Fan will be selected based on number of entries prior to the GroupQueue Sweepstakes. Sweepstakes entrants will enter with a total number of entries equal to One (1) at the time of the drawing. Entries will remain at One (1) after the drawing as entrants are returned to the General Queue.
