Follow our trip plan below for an expansive journey and test of your trailblazing spirit.
|
| Prime TimeThe new Fall season is in full swing, and that means your TV and PC are competing for prime viewing time. But who wants to decide between hot new shows and cool gaming treats? You should be able to get your fill of both simultaneously; the Prime Time trophy is here to help. Play these hit series' games for the same time as a standard episode to win big. Watch out, though--some games merely have a cameo appearance and will only count toward the Challenge on certain days.
|
| Around the MoonWe're always on the verge of an alien invasion; space is teeming with conquering green men and furious asteroids. It seems like it's always up to you to save the day, whether via space ship, cosmic peace talks, or lightsaber diplomacy.

Only gamers with extensive trekking experience are accepted for this mission. Make sure you've been around the world before suiting up for this Challenge.

| Harvest FestThe leaves are changing and the crops have grown--we're heading towards Autumn, and that means there's plenty to do. Time to dust off your overalls, jump-start the tractor, and break a few nails. The schedule is tight and the work is dirty, but the rewards are naturally gratifying. Be sure to follow the lay of the land--and the order of events--to earn this harvest time honor.

Lots and lots of visits. We're talking the better part of a year, consistently. Being a Regular takes visitation dedication--but it comes with perks. Once you're a Regular, doors will open for you. There's always a special menu only Regulars get to see.

The Master won't be earned over a long weekend; it takes the diligence of a true gamer--a power player--to boast this prestigious title. Play your way to fame; become The Master. It will open many doors for you.

| Summer FunSummer was made for eating hotdogs and lazing around at the beach. Tossing water balloons, firing up the grill, strutting around in short-shorts: we've got this Summer thing down. But who says you have to get heat exhaustion and be blinded by winter-white legs to enjoy Summer? You've got all the joys of the season right here, next to the AC and TV. And this ice cream, beach party, and Hawaiian luau come with a trophy, to boot. Take that, Summer. Keep your sticky, trophy-less fingers to yourself.
