Welcome to the Zoolympic Games!
A community-run competitive building game
All welcome!
Rounds run approximately once a month. Check in towards the end of the month to see what's happening for the next round!
Please join in as a judge even if you don't have time to build!
The rules are:
1. If you enter a build for a round, you must also join in the scoring to qualify for one of the prizes. Here's why (click me)
2. Enter your build as screenshots (and also video if you want) via this template and post a link to your completed form in the thread.
(Please make sure the template has sharing permission on so that I can download it and share it as a pdf).
3. Certain Blueprints are allowed, including:
Mods are allowed.
If you have any doubt about a blueprint you would like to use just pop a question in the chat and someone here will help answer it for you.
This rule was updated in Nov 2024 due to popular request.

We’ve collected a lot of suggestions for themes!
They’ve all been put into a google sheet here
To vote, add your initials next to any of your favourites.
You can have as many favourites as you want, and you can change them whenever you want.
To use the sheet, click on the cell next to your favourite options. Add your initials to the bar at the top after everyone else’s:
It saves automatically after you edit it.
I'll send out a new sheet every season or so so that votes are kept to current players and old votes from people no longer playing do not influence the result.
I keep backups in case something goes wrong, so don’t worry if you make a mistake! Just let me know and I’ll be able to fix it or restore the last version.

Judging
The more people who join in the judging, the better the competition! Please join us in scoring the entries when you've got time
After each round a score form will be posted in the thread, as well as a link to a google folder where all of the entries are stored together (to make your life easier!)
You don’t need to spend more than five minutes looking at each submission. If someone has posted a long video, feel free to skip to the final design at the end! Everyone has been asked to provide screenshots as well.
If the screenshots are poor quality (small / dark or unclear / few in number) you may reflect that in the scores you give.
Thank you, good luck, and see you in the next round!
