How to participate
Participation is easy, as all you have to do is play the game and complete field research tasks during the challenge period. If this year’s Chicago experience is anything to go by, it’s going to be a close call, so be sure to raise awareness that the Challenge is under way. You can find a list of relevant Field Research tasks on our July and August Field Research Tasks: Shiny Spinda edition article.
