A day runs 3:00am to 3:00am Eastern, so a visit at 1am counts toward the day before.
20 Holiday Points, 10 XP and 5 coins.
Scan the card in the window, or type the code on it. One check-in per place per day.
Bonus points at one featured place, every day.
Which one changes daily and is shown on your home screen.
One multiple-choice question a day about Hyattsville. Right or wrong, answering keeps your streak going.
Do anything that counts on consecutive days and you earn a bonus at 3, 7, 14 days, and again every week after that.
Small goals — visit three places that sell food, that sort of thing. Your progress is on the home screen.
Some prompts ask for a photo. A person looks at every one before it earns points, so it is not instant. You choose whether the business may share it.
| Friday, November 20 | Pink Friday — Double points, all day |
| Saturday, November 28 | Small Business Saturday — Double points, all day |
| Friday, December 4 | Sip n' Shop — Triple points, 6pm–8pm |
Multipliers apply to Holiday Points on check-ins. XP, coins, mission rewards and streak bonuses are not multiplied.
Prizes are donated by the businesses taking part and are listed in the app. When the season ends, players pick their prize in order of final standing — first place picks first. One prize per household.
By default you appear as your first name and last initial. You can set a different name instead — “Team Tinsel” or “The Dickson Family” works — or hide yourself from the leaderboard entirely.
The full terms, including eligibility, the tie-break and how we handle your data, are in the official rules.
