Websites get Achievements with ‘Unlock The Achievement’, now live!

So you’re at work, or your Xbox is currently being resurrected, and you’ve got the Achievement Twitch ™ … what to do?
Use your time online to earn a different kind of Achievement, that’s what!

Launched on the 21st, Unlock The Achievement brings the thrill of hunting to your browser. 42 participating sites (including MGC!) have 5 ‘Achievements’ hidden among the various words and pictures of their pages, in varying difficulties.

Even though I’m just now posting about it doesn’t mean that there aren’t Achievements to find… Should I give hints?
Alright, just one — Get to know your Xbox MVPs! They are your biggest Community Advocates, recognized for their contributions and participation to the Community at large. Not just for website owners, many of the over 40 MVPs simply contribute to other online environments, giving strong, logical opinions and promoting positive interaction within the Community.

Fellow MVP DeaconBlade 360 posted 6 Myths of Being an Xbox MVP, if you’re interested in the subject.

As the week goes on, perhaps I’ll drop a few more hints on you poor unachieving souls. However, simply knowing MGC and paying attention should grab you most of them in short order. Good luck!

P.S. - Don’t be lame. What’s ‘lame’? Posting exact locations of Achievements is lame.

    So....do we get gamerscore?

    Er. No. This really has less to do with the Xbox, and more to do with Community. I guess I neglected to mention there are prizes, but you can find that out by following the link. wink.gif

    The UTA site/server's getting pelted right now and is struggling to load certain things when under stress. wink.gif

    It's loading for me instantly now, although I imagine that's only because of caching.

    Anyway, I'm on twenty-something achievements. What about you guys?

    And if you've got some spare cash, don't forget that the event is linked with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. smile.gif

    hey... im not a resident visitor, but MGC had the best hidden achievements of all the sites... Well besides 360Voice.com lol, but you guys seriously did a great job... now to find the final one!!

  13. Morgon says:

    Thanks! I definitely wanted to make them intuitive and fun without being 'gimmes' for the people who really know and understand MGC.

    I actually haven't found any of 3V's links, so I'm not sure I can agree with you there tongue.gif
