Get Ready for a Summer of Play

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Summer of Play, a four-week-long digital activity designed to engage, educate, and reward US-and-UK-based marketers. Running from August 13th to September 13th, this exciting event will feature educational content on the gaming audience and in-game advertising world, fun quizzes, and fantastic prizes.

Whether you’re familiar with our work in gaming and advertising or not, we invite you to join the fun and test your in-game knowledge for a chance to win!

In addition to reading our rules and eligibility below, please make sure to read our Terms & Conditions before participating.

How to Enter

You can subscribe to our content anytime during the competition by entering your work email in our “Game Theory” subscription box below. 

If you don't receive a welcome email shortly after sign-up, please check all folders or reach out directly with issues. abm@activision.com

How It Works

Every Tuesday, we’ll share new gaming insights and content with our subscribers via email. 

On Thursdays at 11:00 AM UTC-5 (11:00 AM US Eastern Time), subscribers will receive a quiz that covers the content shared earlier in the week. Answer all the questions correctly, and you’ll be entered into a drawing for our weekly prize. For every quiz you ace (100%), you’ll score one entry into the Grand Prize drawing at the end of the competition. Participation every week is optional, but the more quizzes you answer correctly, the better your chances of winning the Grand Prize.
