Challenge Week April 2026

Welcome to Challenge Week!

Every Game of Tomes event, groups of Tome Knights come together to accomplish seemingly impossible goals. Will the Teams manage to this year? We'll find out!
 

The Lore!

Since LitMon arrived in the Tomeverse, we've been learning more and more about them. The most recent theory by Dr. Pierre Saint-Germain is that if a Tome Knight is putting out considerable effort, their LitMon may be able to give them a temporary boost (in lore). For our 50K challenge, we're putting it to the test!

Time Frame

  • The challenge runs from April 18 (after the results stream) through April 25 (until the results stream starts).
  • Results will be announced at the final results stream on May 9.
  • Our Challengers!

    TBD
     
     

    Reward Lore Boosts

    Pick one of the LitMon you have (even if you JUST adopted it this event).
  • Your character gains a temporary 1 time boost in lore.
  • Boosts last a maximum of 1 in-lore day and must be used before the end of November 2026.

    temporary Literomantic energy enhancement. It takes you 75% of the usual required Literomantic energy pool to do one specific Literomantic feat (ie. Want to make a portal? Normally that's a 50k Werd effort, so it takes you 35k to do it)

    How to Participate

    Participation is optional. To participate, follow these steps:
  • Decide if you are writing solo or as part of a team.
  • The minimum goal for solos and teams is 50,000 words—one Toam.
  • The maximum number of team members is 8.
  • Teams get organized—Decide on your Team Name and discuss your goal. Use the optional Challenge Tracker to add up your individual goals if that is helpful.
  • Solos and Teams sign up by submitting the April 2026 Challenge Week Sign-Up Form. Do this by noon PDT/7 PM UTC, Wednesday, April 15.
  • Follow all the usual GOT rules for redeeming your words in GOT reporting Twitch streams.
  • Report your word counts on the April 2026 Challenge Week Reporting Form after the event ends. This includes individual word counts and the Team total, but only one form per Team.
  • Watch the Final Results Stream for the Challenge results!

  •  

    FAQ

  • You still enter your words for your House with the First Tome Knight bot on Twitch. You must track your progress in the challenge separately.
  • The weighting rules also apply to the Challenge, if you have reached 100k in the main event. (See the GoT front page for those rules.)
  • It is your team that pledges a total, even if you are a team of one. The members of the team must cumulatively reach the goal, so if individuals in the team are struggling, the rest of the team may cover them to reach the overall total words pledged.

  •   Have fun and happy wording! You got this!
