Wed, 06/11/2025 - 10:00am by SaraP

It’s GAAAAAAME DAAAAAAY!! No, not that game day! It’s the number one day of the SUMMER GAME, because it’s literally DAY NUMBER ONE!!! So bust out that #1 FAN foam finger that can surely be re-purposed for this game and scream “SUMMER GAME 2025 HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!!!!!!!!” at the top of your lungs (we cannot guarantee your neighbors are okay with this). 

Here at SG Headquarters, our FACEPAINT is ON, the COFFEE is MADE, at least one file cabinet is PLASTERED with SG STICKERS, our official summer POM POMS are SOMEWHERE, and we have ENTHUSIASM (and golf pencils) in SPADES. DO YOU???

Because RIGHT NOW you can: 

-START with our GETTING STARTED BADGES! You can even read our GETTING STARTED page!

-GO to each AADL location and collect codes! Each branch has a BIG ‘OL BANNER CODE as well as some BRANCH EXPLORER codes within each library building. CAN YOU FIND THEM ALL??? Pick up a Summer Game Explorer’s Guide from any of the desks to help in your search!!

-PLAY our fresh new Scatterlog puzzles EVERY DAY!! Or the ACTUALLY ENDLESS Points-o-Matic!  

-VISIT the AADL catalog to rate and review some things you like (or don’t like??). WE WANNA KNOW!

-READ books, watch movies, listen to music, or download something cool from the catalog! Be sure to LOG your items each day!!

-ATTEND events either in-person or online and find the CODES EVERYWHERE! 

-CREATE your very own LAWN or LIBRARY CODE!! You know, the lawn signs in lawns and the super cute little code cards on super cute little Summer Game Stop poles??! THAT'S RIGHT—you've got the green light to DUST OFF last year's lawn sign (or stop by for new lawn or card supplies) and HAVE PUN coming up with your 2025 code! Register your code (even if you are re-using your sign!!!) on your My Players page around the same time you put it out! 

-BROWSE The Summer Game Shop NOW to prep for your future POINTS-SPENDING SPREE!

-CONSULT our BRAND-NEW list of IMPORTANT SUMMER GAME DATES as often as you like to stay at the top of your game!

-GET HYPED for absolutely no other reason besides the fact that SUMMER GAME SEASON HAS STARTED!!!!!

And COMING SOON:

-BADGE DROPS be dropping at NOON every FRIDAY of SG, starting…THIS FRIDAY of course! So, CLEAR THOSE CALENDARS, folks!!

-LEADERBOARD standings will begin updating Monday, June 16. In the meantime, SERENITY NOW!!!

-POINTS-O-MATIC is introducing a NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN mode on June 20th! You'll be points-o-matic-ing things LEFT and RIGHT faster than you can text 'K' to your parents (or your kids)! 

-THE SUMMER GAME SHOP opens for orders on July 11! But you CAN view the prizes right now! If you want. You probably aren't even that into prizes.

-AND MORE!!!!!!!!! You'll be in a LEAGUE of your own, soon enough :D
