For this final round, the stakes are higher and it’s still anyone’s game.
Team Flamingo has prevailed thus far, winning the majority of points and claiming the field in each of the past rounds. Sunshine, Juicebox, Lasagna, you are within striking range.
This round is a little different:
Everyone has been unbanned
Only r/Field remains, you won’t get banished to another community
You only get one life, once you hit a ban box you'll earn one point for your team
After you get banned you can spectate the field (remember you can zoom out)
Welcome to r/Field! Play the game via the pinned post in the app or on modern desktop.
In the game, you'll be randomly assigned to a team. There are four Field teams, Sunshine, Juicebox, Lasagna, and Flamingo, each with a unique color.
Helping your team by claiming the field one box at a time with your team color. But beware… r/Field is a dangerous place and there are "ban boxes" hidden throughout.
If you hit a ban box, you'll be banished to another community... where you can continue your game. There again, there will be ban boxes. But after journeying through the levels of the banished, you'll be able to eventually make your way back to the Field to continue the fight for your team's glorious victory. Keep in mind that the way forward (or back?) is always through actions in the various game screens.
Each time a field is filled, the team with the most boxes will claim the round and a new round will begin with an empty field. But that's not quite the same as scoring points... Perhaps on the aforementioned journey there was a way you could score a point for your team?
Speaking of points, there is an ongoing team scoreboard you can check out at r/GamesOnReddit as well as a variety of games made on Reddit by your fellow redditors. Give some of them a try if this April Fools event isn't your particular flavor of entertainment. Learn more about games Made on Reddit, and if you're so inclined, you can try your hand at building a Reddit game using the Reddit Developer Platform.
P.S. Thank you to everyone who has given this April Fools' experiment a try. Much of the team this year is new to Reddit April Fools events and we won't get everything right. We're also busy trying out a lot of new tech on this project. We see all your constructive criticism and snarky memes and are taking notes.
P.P.S. You're absolutely right, this isn't r/Place. We've done that three times already and sometimes we like to try new things. But please do give it a shot, and who knows what we'll try next time around.
I see everyone is not getting the reference to Severance!! Or maybe I’m reading too much into it 🤷🏼♂️…..🤣
If you don’t get the game, I think it’s because you’re not meant to. Just like we don’t understand the computer OS (point of the numbers!) in Severance.
Dear person. If you read this, I'm not here to waste your time with my stupid posts about how I hate this bullshit. Just upvote and move on, please? Thank you!
