AADL's Summer Game Shop: NOW OPEN!

by eli

OH MY WOW! With HUGE thanks to the Friends of the Ann Arbor District Library for providing all this great stuff, we are pleased to introduce the AADL SUMMER GAME SHOP! Now you have something to do with all those points you've been earning; spend them on COOL AADL PREMIUMS! Here's a price list for your perusal, but really, just click on over (there's a summer game shop button at the bottom of the menu to the left) and start shopping! You even get points just for browsing the shop. Thanks for playing, and just contact us if you have any questions or trouble!

Standard items:
Summer Game Sand Pail: 2000 points
Summer Game Silly Putty: 2000 points
AADL logo hat: 3500 points
AADL summer game tshirt: 4000 points
AADL Travel Mug: 5000 points
AADL Square Tote: 4000 points
AXIS sport pack: 3000 points
AADL-GT sport pack: 3000 points

Comments

Hey guys, as you saw, the 8000 point prize was the button set! Instead of a 12,000 point prize, I've got another 10,100 point prize (button #9) and there's one more 15,000 point prize (another button) coming before the end of the game on the 26th. The store will stay open until September 18th, so you'll have plenty of time to spend your points!

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Buttercupsmiley, sounds like you've said what needs to be said! Why don't you lay off on this post until someone else comments. If you make a bunch of comments in a row without giving others a chance to comment, your comments might get deleted. If you're looking for quick ways to earn points, try rating items or reading posts around aadl.org! Thanks for playing.... now take a break! =)

Hope you guys all saw the shop is [http://play.aadl.org/shop|now open]! And belal, while I applaud your optimism, I can assure you that nothing like an iPod will be found in the summer game shop at any price. The big point value prizes are cool, symbolic, and more than a little bit silly, but they will be scaled appropriately to your achievement. As an aside, if you complete the paper teen game, you can be entered in a drawing that includes an iPad, an iPod, and a Nintendo 3DS; just visit the desk at AADL for details on that!

Now I need to plan my strategy for spending my points. can't wait!

Submitted by sdunav on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 10:44am

Very cool - but is there an actual physical location for the summer game shop or can you redeem points at any branch?

Thanks for asking sdunav! The Summer Game Shop is online only, and you'll specify at which branch you'd like to pick up your order. Then you'll get a notification when it's ready! Let us know if you have any other questions.

You can still earn points! The Summer Game goes on all summer long; you can earn points until Sunday, August 28th. The Shop will also stay open until mid-September to allow you to spend your points on premiums while supplies last.

And koolfish, at today's launch, you'll only be able to place orders for your main player, but we will roll out orders for extra players as soon as possible, hopefully tomorrow. Thanks for your patience, and thanks for playing!

My kids and I are all on the same account. Do we simply 'cash in' our points one at a time when they accumulate enough points for an item when
logged on to their account or see their name and point summary?

Thanks -- we are enjoying this program!

Is it possible that you run out of some items (so that we should be sure to redeem early) or is that not really a concern?

Well, adimarzo, it is possible, and all items are while supplies last, but you'll be able to see exactly how many of each item are left when browsing the shop, so you'll know if supplies are running low on something you're interested in. But there are a LOT of premiums in stock, thousands and thousands as you'll see later today, so you should have all the information you need to make your decisions about when to redeem your points. Thanks again for your feedback, and for playing the Summer Game!

could you please put this info to the web page of prize? it would make sense when people go to the page to see the prize and find out how many points for the prize. thanks!

I commend the Summer Game folks for the highly entertaining item descriptions. Well done! I wish I had enough points to buy everything!

Submitted by michalowski529 on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 7:34pm

Submitted by Lindsie on Wed, 07/06/2011 - 8:44am

Submitted by ark on Wed, 07/06/2011 - 10:13am

I second the comment about the entertaining item descriptions--it was just what I needed after a long first day back at work after the holiday!

Cool!

I've got my eye on that tote... but might have to wait until the mystery prizes are unveiled. When will the first weekly bonus announcement come? This week, or next?

Submitted by adimarzo on Thu, 07/07/2011 - 3:18pm

Looking forward to seeing the first mystery item tomorrow. Will there be any more "standard" items released later or just mystery items revealed? Just trying to budget my points!

Adimarzo, these are all the standard items available for this Summer, but there may be some cheaper bonus items as we go depending on how stock & points work out. Stay tuned!

I bet that the 100,000 point prize is a badge for earning 100,000 summer game points, and you get a 200,000 point bonus. You now have whatever you had, +100,000, so you can buy the rest of the items, and something else would be in it. AADL Watch? AADL MP3? iPod with AADL paint or cover/case? iPod Touch 4th generation with AADL paint or case? iPad with AADL paint or case? YOUR NAME IN THE AADL HALL OF FAME(That rhymes)? The prizes get bigger and bigger.

Note: AADL is welcome to use my ideas.

The suspense is killing me!

P.S. I like your ideas baifamily2, although I doubt I'll get to 100,000 points . . .

Love it.

Submitted by ldupuis44 on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 5:59pm

I've noticed that there are not prizes for 8k, 12k, and 15k in the shop even as mystery prizes. Will this change as summer progresses?

Submitted by adipirro on Thu, 08/04/2011 - 11:33am

Are there going to be more coming now that all the mystery prizes have been opened up?

Just are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo annoying.

Luckily, I persuaded my mom to go to the "Why is my Computer so Slow?" thingy (mainly so I could go to the library) and now our computer is destined to become.... FASTER!
