The Game of the Week logo

Game of the Week or Vulcan Forged's Game of the Week is where one of the Vulcan Forged games is chosen at random and players have one week to play that game to be in with the chance of winning a 500 LAVA prize. Each week there are 10 individual winners, totalling 5000 Lava in prizes.

Concept and Beginnings

Game of the Week was introduced on 22nd August 2022 through a video shared on Vulcan Forged social media channels. The first game of the week chosen at random was Berserk. Game of the Week was devised to provide players with focus on a particular game, and reward those playing the most / the best at that particular game. It has proven useful in introducing players to games they would not normally consider playing as well as giving the company a good way of testing the current game - players are encouraged to provide feedback in the appropriate Vulcan Forged Discord channel.

The Draw

The wheel spin for Game of the Week

Each Monday a wheel spin (through https://wheelofnames.com/) takes place and one of eight Vulcan Forged games is chosen as that week's Game of the Week. The wheel spin video is shared on the Vulcan Forged Discord. Staff will announce what the required XP / points / coins to be eligible for a prize is, depending on the nature of the game.

Eligible Games

The following games are entered into the wheel spin for Vulcan's Game of the Week:

In future, Vulcan Assassins is expected to be added to the list. Note - each week, the previous week's Game of the Week is taken out of the wheel spin, until there are only 2 games left n the randomizer. Once all games have been played, the randomiser resets so that all games become eligible again.

Determining Winners

After a week's play (generally the following Monday) a snapshot of participants who have met the weekly requirements for the eligible game is taken. The successful participants will then be entered into a randomizer such as a wheel spin to determine who the 10 LAVA winners are.
