The lull in football leading up to the Big Game is excruciating. But, thanks to The Big Game Challenge, there’s plenty of football left in Upland! 

The Big Game Challenge is a gridiron test for the ages, tasking players to build the biggest point totals by participating in various activities. Starting Monday, February 6 at 9 AM PT, and ending Friday, February 10 at 9 AM PT, each day will bring new winners and reward players with UPX, Spark, and the “Football Turtle” Block Explorer! And the ultimate prize, the “Golden Turtle” Block Explorer, awaits those who tough it out all week and collect the maximum points! 

Huddle up for more details, and prepare for The Big Game Challenge in Upland!

The Big Game Challenge Details

The Big Game Challenge encourages players to participate in various NFLPA-related activities in Upland for a chance to win exclusive prizes. Before joining this week-long challenge, know that players must own an NFLPA Legit (Essential or Memento) to participate and build points. So, if you don’t have one of these Legits, look for a player-owned NFLPA Fan Shop or an official NFLPA Shop near you! 

Note: NFLPA Shops are located at team stadiums and only have Essentials unless there is a Memento Sale during a game. 

The rules are simple: Complete activities (listed below) to earn Football Points. Each point earned is equal to one entry in daily prize drawings. The Big Game Challenge starts on Monday, February 6 at 9 AM PT. At this time, players have 24 hours each day to build points. For example, Monday’s cutoff will be at 8:59 AM PT on Tuesday, February 7. This 24-hour cycle repeats each day until the challenge ends. 

Activities

There are a total of eight activities in The Big Game Challenge. Remember that as a daily challenge, you’ll want to repeat these activities daily; with the exception of registering for the big game, which you can only do once. By reaching the maximum Football Points (180 points daily, 600 points total), you’ll get the rare Golden Turtle Block Explorer and maximize your chances of winning UPX and Spark for each drawing!

Check out our table below for activity details as well as the points system.

Notice that there are buying and selling activities at NFLPA Fan Shops (i.e., player-owned Metaventures) and the official NFLPA Shops at team stadiums. You’ll need to head to both of these shops to earn all your daily Football Points! 

If you need help with some of the activities, here are some handy tips and resources: 

Registration for the Big Game Early Sale will go live on Monday, February 6 at 9 AM, so be sure to grab a spot while registration is open. Also, you can check out the list of NFLPA Collections to set your sights on Collections that work for you. Remember that there are Collections for each team, giving you plenty of ways to complete a Collection each day of the challenge.

The Big Game Challenge Prizes

Now let’s get into what you’ve been waiting for: prizes! Starting Tuesday, February 7, players will win UPX, Spark, and more in daily drawings. Here’s a breakdown:
