Last weekend to judge #IFComp games!

The clock is ticking down! Judges have until October 19 to submit their scores for #IFComp. The good news is that *anyone* can judge, as long as they rate at least 5 games. And there's still time to contribute to our Colossal Fund! ifcomp.org

The 32nd IFComp is in full swing. Two more weeks left to play and judge this year's delightful games! And hey, why not consider donating to the Colossal Fund?? It's a cash prize pool for the top entries! ifcomp.org

IFComp XXXII is live and going strong! Do you love this year's logo as much as we do? A folio, a phone, both portals to other realms! That's artist Sherry Zhu, whose work you can find on IG. www.instagram.com/sherryzhu_dr...

IFComp has updated its rules for 2026. You can see the updated rules page at ifcomp.org/rules/ You can read more about what went into this rule at www.tumblr.com/ifcomp/80727... Thank you to everyone who shared feedback that helped inform this update.

The 31st Annual IFComp has wrapped! 🎉 Results drop tonight at 7pm Eastern on ifcomp.org If you missed the stream, check it out at www.twitch.tv/interactivef... We’re already planning for IFComp 2026, and your feedback is critical! forms.gle/uzCX1MUQ8mUS...

Reminder! Stream happening in a few hours. Also, an important note: the results of the competition will not go live on our website until approximately 7pm Eastern this evening.

The 2025 IFComp Awards will stream live on Saturday, Oct 18, at 4 PM Eastern. Please join us to celebrate this year’s authors! Stream: www.twitch.tv/interactivef... Time zone help: everytimezone.com/s/4849cb8d Can’t join live? Results will appear on the IFComp website at 7:00 PM Eastern.

LAST DAY to enter your votes at ifcomp.org, everyone! Get 'em in by midnight EST! Thank you so much for the time you have spent experiencing entries, reviewing, rating... please join us THIS SATURDAY at 4pm EST for the awards ceremony at www.twitch.tv/interactivef...

Two days left to vote in the 2025 IFComp! Skootch on over to ifcomp.org and make sure that you've voted on at least five entries. We appreciate you, and our authors do, too!

It's the weekend! It's also the FINAL WEEKEND before IFComp 2025 wraps! Remember to get those final votes in. Also, if you are in a position to do so and have not yet contributed to this year's Colossal Fund, we're just a bit short of our stretch goal. Thank you! Have fun!

The moon-th has waned and now is less than two weeks long, somehow. (We suspect witchcraft was involved. Beware of chronurgists!) At any rate, you can still sneak in some more ratings by October 15! Or add Halloween candy to the prize pool at ifcomp.org

Hey, hey, it's the weekend! If you've got a little time to chill with some stories and games, swing on over to ifcomp.org - voting closes Oct 15, and our authors would really love your feedback!

If you've got a little time, we've got a *lot* of stories and games. If you play (and rate) just five of them before Oct 15, then you can be a judge. We'd love more judges! Check it out at ifcomp.org

We did it! The 2025 Colossal Fund hit $8K! 85 entries means more authors will share the prize pool. Let's stretch to $10K to boost the prizes a bit. If you are in a position to donate and haven't, consider heading to ifcomp.org to hit the big blue donation button.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, which games were your favorite of them all? You've got until October 15 to leave 5 ratings, thus becoming an IFComp judge. (The fancy old-timey wig is optional.) ifcomp.org/ballot

Got plans tomorrow night? Like stories? Browse ifcomp.org/ballot and pick something that fits your mood and schedule! Do that just 5 times before Oct 15, leave a rating for each, and you’re officially an IFComp judge.

🎉 The 31st Annual #IFComp is live! 85 new interactive fiction entries are ready for you to play and judge. (You only need to rate 5 to cast a ballot!) Read more about this year's competition at blog.ifcomp.org Or just dive straight in: ifcomp.org/ballot
