As winter approaches, prepare yourself for Gimkit Frostbite, a one-time-only in-game event! Attend the event with your students and experience a storm that will cause Gimkit to change…forever.

This is a one-time event, so make sure to be in-game on December 5th at 1pm EST. The event will start then, so make sure everybody gets into the game a few minutes before. You’ll load into the event by hosting any of our 2D game modes.

Here are some tips for the day of the event:

• This event might cause our servers to become overloaded, so we recommend arriving early! Start hosting a game as early as 30 minutes before (12:30pm EST) and you’ll be good to go for the event. While you all wait, your class gets to play whichever mode you picked: Fishtopia, Capture The Flag, Tag: Domination, or Farmchain!
• Make sure your sound is on! We know some of you turn music & sound off, but make sure it’s on for this event!

We’re super excited for you all to experience the event. Stay warm & we’ll see you soon!

To increase server capacity & help ensure everything runs smoothly on the day of the event, Gimkit will be slightly different. Here are some changes you might want to know about.

• If you’re playing a live game between 12:00pm EST - 12:30pm EST, you might get kicked out as we make server space for the event.
• Students will be unable to work on assignments on the day of the event. After the event, we’ll re-enable assignments again.
• Non-2D game modes will be disabled on the day of the event. These will be re-enabled after the event.
• Spectator Mode will be disabled on the day of the event, meaning you will experience the event with your students too! Spectator Mode will be re-enabled after the event.
• Students will be unable to host live games on the day of the event but will be able to after the event.
