Giveaways
We periodically run family giveaways (think a month of diapers or a case of applesauce). Every scoring check-in during the giveaway window is automatically one entry - no purchase, no extra steps. Winners are drawn at random, weighted by entries, and announced on the giveaways page under their display name.
Why photos are reviewed
Every photo is checked by a person before it appears, and we strip all hidden camera metadata (including GPS tags) the moment a photo is uploaded. Please photograph playgrounds and facilities, not people.
