✨❄❄🎄🎄❄❄✨ HELLO, BITSY COMMUNITY!! ✨❄❄🎄🎄❄❄✨

Once again, it's ya girl Santa Daues Emma Daues here to bring good cheer to all the Bitsy-ers this holiday season! Sometimes giving gifts for the holidays can be tough, but not when you can give the gift of Bitsy! 🎉

And so we've organized a Bitsy gift-giving exchange for people within the Bitsy community! Welcome to BITSY SECRET SANTA!!!

Hey, dude, what's a 'Secret Santa'?

A Secret Santa is a gift-giving exchange where everyone who participates is given the name of another participant, usually chosen at random. You then secretly get a gift for them (usually it involves espionage missions where you have to surreptitiously find out what your person likes without giving yourself away), and then at a later date, everyone exchanges presents, revealing who got gifts for who! In this case, we'll all be giving each other Bitsy games!

Okay, so how will this work?

FIRST, to participate, you will need to sign up using this sheet right here. Please fill in all information to the best of your ability! You have until FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH to sign up for the event!

On SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1ST, you will receive the name of the person you will be making a Bitsy for! Then you can start working on your game!

Have your Bitsy ready by TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25TH, and submit it here when submissions open! Then, alert your person that they have a Bitsy gift for them to play!

Cool, can we have a bit more rules?

• The person you're assigned to will give you 1-3 one-word prompts to use as a starting-point for inspiration when making your Bitsy game. Incorporate these prompts however you see fit! If you so choose, you can also sneakily gather more information about your person to see what else they like! Just don't clue them into your little secret!! >:3
• Your Bitsy game can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it, but I suggest making it with at least 1 minute of play time so that everyone has a little bit of Bitsy to appreciate!
• Hacks? No Hacks? Go for it!!!!
• Please also do your best to make something nice for your assigned person! But of course, I know things happen, so if you have to bail out for any reason whatsoever, please please PLEASE let us know as early as you can so we can make arrangements accordingly.
• This goes without saying, but don't be mean or hateful in your games! And try to steer clear of more sensitive topics unless you know 100% for sure that your person is okay with that!!! 💦💦💦

Have fun, everyone, and [Irving Berlin voice] Happy Holidaaaaaaaaaaay~🎵
