The 2016 Dave & Buster's Event Challenges are LIVE!

EDIT 7/3/16: NOTE THE MODIFICATION TO THE "A LONG AND CROSSY ROAD" CHALLENGE.

The artwork is still being worked on for the challenge board, but I'm not going to hold back the challenges themselves any longer.

There are a total of 30 challenges, however I realize not all players are going to be suited to all games. Just as with the Smash 4 challenge board allowing players to negate some of its challenges with the Golden Hammers, there will be five "Golden Hammers" within MY 30 challenges - five tasks that, if you complete, will allow you to negate one additional task each. I will mark these with an asterisk on my list.

I will begin issuing flair for those who have completed challeges; some I will require video proof on. Some I will take you at your word. I will specify requirements for each.

Those who manage to "complete the board" - that is to say clear all the challenges, minus any that were bypassed - will have a permanent special flair in the subreddit, and may be given prizes by me to be determined.

Here is the list of 30 challenges for the Dave & Buster's AP community to complete. They will be listed in a general order from easiest to hardest, just as the Smash 4 board had its hardest challenges at the top.

30: Why did the chicken cross the road? - Win one jackpot on Crossy Road. Picture or video proof required for this challenge.

29*: Swoop in Like a Vulture - Win a jackpot that someone else has left in a "ready" state. This requires that you watch someone else play to verify the game is in a winnable state, and you win the jackpot after. Video proof will be required for this challenge. (You do not need to get any identifying features of the player playing - just the game being played.)

EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION ON #29: This requires a game that has a mode of "ready to win" / "not ready to win" that cannot be seen by jackpot score alone. (Quik Drop has what I'd call easy, but you can tell whether or not it's in easy just based on its JP score which is visible without playing.) You have to be watching someone else play, without you putting a credit in, and gain the information from watching them that the game is playable. Think Tippin' Bloks slow drop vs. fast drop, or Panda on <= 34 vs. 35.

28*: Today Me, Tomorrow You: On any game where the score to win a jackpot raises to just above what you scored (like 2-Minute Drill or Ice Ball FX), score the absolute minimum above the requirement. Someone ELSE must win the jackpot on the game you have left the score easy on while you are still in the building. (I will take you at your word for the latter half of this challenge, but scoring the jackpot just above the minimum is something I require video proof on.)

27: Multitasking - Start a game of Tippin' Bloks on the real machine and on the Tippin' Bloks app on your phone at the same time (within a couple seconds of one another is fine.) You must win the 500 point jackpot on the phone app AND the 1,000 ticket jackpot on the actual Tippin' Bloks game on each of these plays. Video proof required. You'll most likely need someone else to video you.

26: Finding Lost Treasure - Win a jackpot that someone else left one or more credits in. (You may swipe one credit so that the tickets go to your card, however the jackpot must be won on one of the credits that was in the machine before, NOT the credit you swipe in. For example, if someone left 1 swipe in Kung-Fu Panda, and you swipe once, winning on the first game counts, winning on the second game does not.) I will take you at your word on this challenge.

25: Come On And Slam - Meet the "golden standard" with the NEW math on Slam Extreme (2.4 on Wednesday for 1 ball) over a 60 ball set. Swipe 60 times and earn 7,200 tickets within these 60 swipes. Video proof required, but please mark these videos as unlisted or private and PM me proof for this challenge.

24: One Time I Sucked Six in a Row: Win six jackpots in a row. These jackpots can be on any machine or machines, in any order. Failing one jackpot attempt requires a restart of the challenge. Video proof required OR pictures of card history showing six consecutive plays / six consecutive jackpots.

23: Devilish Clowns - Score higher than 666 points on Down the Clown. Picture or video required.

22: Really, Another Challenge About Fondling Balls? - Score a jackpot on Ice Ball FX. Picture or video required.

21: Buzzer-Beater - Win the jackpot on Super Shot. Picture/video required. (I am assuming 30 seconds plus 5 bonus for reaching 30 points, and 61 points to win the jackpot.)

20: This Game is Such a Flop! - Win a jackpot on Floppy Tickets. Picture/video required. (I don't care if it's on the minimum of 80, that still counts.)

19*: Millionaire - Win 1,000,000 tickets over your lifetime of advantage play. This does not mean you need 1,000,000 on your card at one time; showing 1m worth of purchases/combined card balances is sufficient. Those who have unedited comments in prior Weekly Wednesday Threads may use those towards this proof.

18: Perfection - Win a jackpot on 2-Minute Drill, Down the Clown, OR Super Shot without missing a single target, hole, clown, or shot. Only one perfect jackpot is required, not all three. Video proof required.

17: Drop It Like It's Hot - Score a jackpot on Quik Drop in Hard Mode. Video proof required but just as with Come On And Slam, please post it unlisted or private and PM me this proof.

16: High Limit - Score a progressive jackpot of OVER 1,000 tickets. (Zombie Snatcher, Monster Drop, Monster Drop Extreme, etc. count. Crossy Road, Floppy Tickets, etc. do not because while you win over 1,000, it's not a progressive other people are adding to.) Ask if you have questions as to whether a game counts or not. Picture/video required.

15*: APing More Than the Machines - Work a deal with someone where you win them tickets but are compensated by them, whether it be a split of the tickets, food/drink, or otherwise. You must get AT LEAST 50% of the net profit value of your play (value of tickets at 0.4 cents per ticket minus cost of play at 10 cents per chip), and you must get at least $10 in value out of a single person. I will take you at your word on this challenge, though mad respect if you happen to secure a receipt showing proof of your gains.

14: Full Frontal Assault - Win the 500 ticket bonus on Galaga Assault using only one credit. (You may earn the capturable fighter that appears during the first wave.) Pic/video required.

13: Show Me Your Jugs! - Win the 1,000 ticket jackpot on Milk Jug Toss. Pic/video required.

12: Faster Than Light - Score 999 on Speed of Light. Picture or video required (though if you can do this, shit, post a video so we can see how awesome you are.)

11: Kung-Fu Master - Win the jackpot on Kung-Fu Panda with a final round dumpling requirement of 35. Video required.

10: This is Not a Drill...Well, Maybe It Is - Score 999 points on 2-Minute Drill. Picture or video required (though video preferred.)

9: Not Too Hard, Not Too Soft... - Win the superjackpot on Dizzy Chicken. Picture or video required.

8*: Early To Bed, Early To Rise - win 10,000 tickets within the first 30 minutes Dave & Buster's is open, which must be done within 200 chips on a non-Wednesday, or 100 chips on a Wednesday.) Some form of proof showing card history required (as this shows the timestamps.)

7: Picking Up the Scraps - win 5,000 tickets within the LAST 30 minutes Dave & Buster's is open, which must be done within 100 chips on a non-Wednesday, or 50 chips on a Wednesday. Some form of proof showing card history required (as this shows the timestamps.)

6: Follow The Rainbow - Pre-swipe all credits you plan to play into a machine. Win at least 5,000 tickets. The tickets must pay to the card in e-Tickets. The machine must never fall out of "rainbow celebration" status where tickets are being added to your card. While not every single credit must finish at an advantage, the total of your play must finish at an advantage. It does not need to double your money - just show a profit. Video proof requested but not required. If video not provided, details of the play are required - pictures from your daily card history on the machine would suffice. Trust me, I'll be able to tell.

5: A Long and Crossy Road - Clear 375 or more STEPS (taps of the button - not tickets!) in one game of Crossy Road. (For those of you who have jacked up the jackpot score to kingdom come, it is okay if you do not win the jackpot on this play - but realistically you should.) Picture/video required. NOTE: D&B IS CHANGING THE PAYOUTS ON THIS. Given one location may still have the old payouts and another the new nerf, a video will be required for this challenge now - or a video of the jackpot and a bit of play before or after just so I can see the payout structure and make sure you did 375 steps.

4: The Crazy 20-Streak - Win 20 consecutive jackpots on 2-Minute Drill. The glitch to keep the jackpot score low may not be used. To specify, the first game must be at least 509, then 529, 559, etc. with the jackpot minimum going up by at least 26 on each play and not resetting. Regardless of the machine's requirement on the 20th game, you must score 999 points or greater. Video proof required OR a show of card history of 20 swipes in and 5,000 tickets exactly on the card reader OR a video show of card history.

3: Battle Against a True Hero - Win 23,000 or more tickets, while spending 460 or less chips, on a game that has been nerfed. (A machine that was not conforming to Global Settings and has since been changed to fall in line with Global Settings DOES NOT count. A machine that has had its costs raised or payout lowered DOES count.) (This challenge CANNOT be negated.) Video not necessarily required, but pictures of card history for the day required at a minimum.

2: BOSS RUSH! - Win the jackpot on 2-Minute Drill with 800 points or greater, win the jackpot on Down the Clown with 700 points or greater, win the jackpot on Kung-Fu Panda at 33 or higher, win the jackpot on Super Shot at 61 points or greater, and win the jackpot on Ice Ball FX at 45,000 points or greater - CONSECUTIVELY. These may be done in any order but failing any attempt on one resets your progress for the challenge. Video proof for this challenge is required and must be ONE unedited video. (This challenge CANNOT be negated.)

1: The Gold Standard - win at least 100,000 tickets on a Wednesday, in one session, and double your money. (This challenge cannot be negated, and may not be submitted until the remaining 29 challenges have been completed or bypassed via Golden Hammer.) A picture of your card's starting balances before and after a session will be sufficient proof. Odds are if you have clared all 29 other challenge (or hell, even 24 with 5 bypasses) you would not be bullshitting about clearing this one. This is more a celebratory challenge than one of the harder challenges designed to test your limits.

When uploading videos for this challenge series, please mention somewhere in the video or the description the challenge(s) you are doing and that it is for this subreddit.

YOU CAN DO MORE THAN ONE CHALLENGE IN THE SAME VIDEO - HELL, IN THE SAME GAME. (A score of 46,000 on Ice Ball FX would satisfy "Really, another challenge about fondling balls?" AND "Today me, Tomorrow you." for example.)

Any other questions, please post here and I will edit as needed.

After a couple weeks, I will begin to fulfill my OWN challenges with videos to prove that I'm not assigning impossible tasks. (I will be using the Golden Hammers as well - there are some things this community is just plain better than me at. Different APs will most likely use those in different places.)

Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
