Pujo Prizes

Two ways to win, from Saptami (Sat 17 Oct) to Dashami (Wed 21 Oct). Each Puja day runs from 5 am to 5 am, as for stamps, and only stamps that count on the boards count here. Only pandals on our list count for prizes: pandals that visitors add don't, even once their stamps count on the boards.

Daily prize

  • Each Puja day, the player with the most stamps that day wins.
  • In a tie, whoever reached that number of stamps first goes ahead.
  • 40 stamps a day is the most anyone can get, so at 40, whoever got there first wins.
  • Winners stay provisional until we've checked them.

Crew Battle

  • Crews of 2 to 10 people take part. A bigger crew still works as a crew, but isn't in the battle. While the contest is on, a crew with 10 members takes no more.
  • Your stamps count for one crew only: the first one you joined, of the crews you're still in. Only stamps from after you joined it count.
  • A crew's points come from the players it has now. If you leave your crew once the contest has started, your stamps so far stop counting for any crew, your next crew counts only your stamps from then on, and rejoining doesn't bring the old ones back.
  • Your crew scores 1 point for each different pandal its players stamp, and 1 more for each pandal where two of you stamped within 15 minutes of each other.
  • Together stamps and the Dol Bendhe badge are part of the app all season, not a prize.
  • In a tie, the crew that reached its score first goes ahead.
  • The battle ends with Dashami night, at 5 am on Thu 22 Oct. From then until we've checked the results, crews are locked: nobody can join or leave one.
  • The crew on top wins, once we've checked it. The prize goes to the crew's players: the members whose stamps counted for it.
  • The battle board shows crew names and scores, never invite codes or who is in a crew. We can take a crew out of the battle, for example for an offensive name.

Prize rules

  • Free to take part. No purchase and no lucky draw: prizes go on stamps alone.
  • Open to anyone with a Pujo Passport. One account per person.
  • Fake-GPS apps, shared accounts or other tricks disqualify you.
  • We check winners before any prize is given, and our decision on who is eligible is final.
  • Prizes are announced in the app and may change. A prize can't be swapped for cash unless we offer that.
  • If you win, we email you at the Google address you signed in with. It is never shown publicly. If you don't reply within 7 days, the prize goes to the next eligible player.
