We’re down to the last marathon of 2021! After that, Hallow-Xmas 2 gets underway. So for the October Marathon, let’s see whether anyone will set a new personal best for cubes traced in a day, and whether we’ll exceed our record for marathon cell completions! This will be your final chance for those types of bonuses until next year.

Starting at 8 PM EDT on 10/20 you’ll have 24 hours to complete one or more cells.

Bonuses:

  • 3,500 bonus points per 25 cubes
  • One live cell will be designated the “marathon cell,” with a 3x points multiplier!
  • SC bonuses are doubled on all cells.
  • Every 3 SCs counts for 1 cube toward naming eligibility & per-cell completion bonus.
  • 50 cubes = 5,000 points per completed cell, plus rights to vote on a new name for the marathon cell
  • 200 cubes = 10,000 points per completed cell, plus rights to nominate a new name for the marathon cell

Good luck! For science!
