MinnMax: The Rematch MinnMax 2024-10-18 | $2 supporters can compete in game trivia - patreon.com/minnmaxOn Monday, October 21st at 6pm PT/8pm CT, Michael Huber is hosting a rematch in video game trivia with the Easy Allies community facing off against the MinnMax community. Isla Hinck is cohosting and is team leader for Easy Allies, and Jacob Geller is the team leader for MinnMax. If you support either Easy Allies or MinnMax on Patreon at any tier, you'll get access to the Discord where the competition happens. patreon.com/minnmaxpatreon.com/EasyAlliesTrivia Tower Rules and Conditions- If you get an answer correct, you move up a floor of the Trivia Tower. If you answer correctly on the 5th floor, you win the game.- One typo allowed per answer including spaces, not counting punctuation. A typo is a missing character, an extra character, or a character in the wrong place. Your one typo cannot spell the name of a different game.- We need the full name of the game unless otherwise stated. This includes the word “the”. No extra words are allowed on the end of game names.- No acronyms allowed, you must type out the name of the game as your answer.- Roman numerals/numbers are interchangeable, numbers can be spelled out- Editing your answer after the fact automatically disqualifies it.- No messaging answers to other players.- The chat is slowed down, so you can only enter one guess every 15 seconds.- We know it’s weird with a live show, but (for the competitors) you can reduce lag by setting YouTube’s playback speed to 1.25x speed. Somehow this helps make it an even playing field.-------- We've disabled YouTube chat for the stream, so folks in later rounds can't look there for answers.- The game codes for Switch and PlayStation are US-only, but we also have region-free codes for PC and Xbox.-------- YouTube, Patreon, and Discord are not a sponsor of this contest. YouTube, Patreon, and Discord are released from any liability related to this contest.- No personal data from competitors will be used by MinnMax Media LLC- Here’s a link to YouTube’s community guidelines - youtube.com/howyoutubeworks/policies/community-guidelines

If you answer correctly on the 5th floor, you win the game.- One typo allowed per answer including spaces, not counting punctuation. A typo is a missing character, an extra character, or a character in the wrong place. Your one typo cannot spell the name of a different game.- We need the full name of the game unless otherwise stated. This includes the word “the”. No extra words are allowed on the end of game names.- No acronyms allowed, you must type out the name of the game as your answer.- Roman numerals/numbers are interchangeable, numbers can be spelled out- Editing your answer after the fact automatically disqualifies it.- No messaging answers to other players.- The chat is slowed down, so you can only enter one guess every 15 seconds.- Previous winners can only compete in the Victory Lounge floor- We know it’s weird with a live show, but (for the competitors) you can reduce lag by setting YouTube’s playback speed to 1.25x speed. Somehow this helps make it an even playing field.-------- We've disabled YouTube chat for the stream, so folks in later rounds can't look there for answers.- The game codes for Switch and PlayStation are US-only, but we also have region-free codes for PC and Xbox.-------- YouTube, Patreon, and Discord are not a sponsor of this contest.
