NEW Feature For Events!
• Submission troubles got you down? Worry no more with the new Submission Confirmation pop-up!
• Once you've perfected your design and clicked "Submit", you'll be presented with a confirmation window
• Your completed room or outfit should appear in this pop-up


• If your completed design is showing and is correct, go ahead and click "Submit" to enter your design


• If your design is incorrect or not showing at all, clicking "Report Problem" will send all relevant information to our team for them to diagnose what may have happened
• This will help us fine-tune the submission process going forward to make the entire submission and voting experience better for everyone!


• Once the report has been automatically submitted, you can try to submit your design again, hopefully with a better outcome!
• The new Submission Confirmation applies to both Decor and Costume challenges!

• Each day begins at 2 pm ET.

If you have questions to ask or feedback to share, this is the place to do it!

This looks pretty cool...I hope I can win a lot of the nice prizes!

Cautiously interested, even though I hate to see a nice creepy looking theme in GE and not store!

OK ok really now, LOL
honest to besty ... really, could this be anymore perfect

Well poop. After 4 months off, it looks like I'm in again. Mother fluffer.......

well this looks promising

i too like julie hope i get good things
i also hope i get the pet this time i haven't made it to them in 4 months now

Also hoping for some of the fun stuff in the pop up. Glad I saved some energy and took a bit of a break (didn't do last 2 challenges in gem event).... this looks like it could be really fun. And I LOVE the room!! (hopes also up for Halloween this year....my RL house was already decorated 2 weeks ago!!)

So excited for this gem event theme!!

It's a beautiful gem theme, thank you vikings who designed it

I can't do the challenge - my icons don't work to do the hangout or anything else. I could only claim the room. Help

I love the look of this room and the potential of things to come for this Event. I have no idea what I want to do with the space just yet. But, mulling it over! It's eerily promising!

Vikings - please CORRECT the ITEM NAMES to the Shadow Crawling (top) Hats (black, brown, blue, red) ... THEY ARE NOT SHOES! Thx.

I was skipping this - money and time ... Plan was to buy in the AH

............ when you do things that are so well done
............that have what I call an artistic voice
............that has a wide appeal to many different demographics

And it's clever on top of it ---

oh please, stand still - it's hard to throw money at a moving target

(pst, I hope xmas is horrible -- LOL or my yo budget might have to be negotiated LOL - hm how to get my husband hopelessly addicted to yo lol )

Hi! Viking Kibi here, the decor was designed by me for this gem event. I'm so happy to read that you guys are enjoying it! My favourite part about designing is getting to see everyone's reaction to it so thank you for making my day

Thanks for letting us know! I love these things. This is a wonderful set of furnishings and you are very talented.

it's halloween and we're still doing diner rooms and outfits.

i wish you'd caught up on themes by now, this is a waste of decorating/dressing up mojo, i am not in the mood for such old themes ever but especially not when it's October.

at this rate, are you going to have us decorating from the halloween themes in December?

the best time of year for voting on rooms and seeing how creative people can be is halloween and fall in general, i sure hope we get to enjoy this season while it is this season.

We are slowly catching up, and the plan is to be aligned in time for Halloween. In the meantime, the challenges will be related to the themes that lead up to Halloween (SG2025, WW2025), so that players who participated in these themes will be able to use their purchases towards the challenges!

There will be at least two Halloween challenges towards the end of the month that will utilize the overarching HW2025 theme code for maximum versatility.

Thanks for this info. I will really appreciate NOT having to take apart and put together that Roadhouse cafe again! It was brutal.
