Fun community ideas for Spring?

Hi Everyone, does anyone have any fun community engagement ideas or games for spring? 

  • Slight smile

    We were having a discussion the other day and I thought it would be so much fun and such a cool thing to do if we hid an 'easter egg' in the community which would take on the form of a little game that can be played. So for example if a member happened to click on a particular link or a button or an image or something. 

    It's a bit 'old hat' now but still something fun or 'to surprise and delight' as it's called. 

    It would take a bit of setting up but would be a really fun thing to include in the community Slight smile. Not saying that it's something that we'll actually do as it would cost too much of our development budget for something that doesn't hold any real value to the community but for anyone that has 'in-house' resource it could be something fun to work on. 

  • Hi Lisa, I had a similar idea with an Easter bunny. We use our community as a forum and content repository with many galleries and files so would be relatively easy to do, however, our community is global, so something more generic and less western/religious would be better

  • An 'Easter Egg' in the digital world isn't related to 'Easter' as a religious holiday. More info here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_egg_(media) so you can get a better understanding of what I mean Slight smile

  • Create an automation.

    Tie the automation to gaining an achievement.

    The automation could:
    - Track particular content identifiers

    x These could be blog posts, articles, documents

    And/Or

    - Track particular user actions, such as 'likes', 'comments' and/or bookmarks.

    The automation would then:

    - Award a number of points for successful completion of performing these actions, or number of actions, or actions on the particular stated content

    - Award the achievement

    You can then re-use this automation for other events with different content, and disable the automation after a set date to make it exclusive.
