Submission Guidelines
- Only one entry per person per game. This means you may submit one entry for Desert Island Escape and one entry for Puzzle League.
- Your entry is considered final once posted and may not be edited without permission from a TBT staff member. Do not submit your entry until you are satisfied with your score.
- Your score must be achieved on your own without assistance from anyone else.
- When you are ready to submit your score, please take a photo of the scoreboard on your 3DS/2DS. A physical namecard displaying your TBT username must be visible in the photo and your scores must be legible.
- Screenshots are not allowed because of the difficulty in providing proof.
- Please submit your scores for Desert Island Escape and Puzzle League in separate posts if at all possible. This will help with prize distribution.
Note: I did not think to use a namecard when taking a photo of Puzzle League. You will need a namecard for both of your submissions.

FAQs
May I submit entries for both Desert Island Escape and Puzzle League?
Yes! Please check the submission guidelines above to make sure you get rewarded for your efforts in both games.
Is online play required?
No, this is a solo event with no online play.
After submitting my entry, I got a higher score. May I edit or resubmit my entry?
No. This would create complications so we ask that you only submit your scores when you are truly satisfied with them.
May I use Amiibos for Desert Island Escape?
Yes! You are allowed to use any villagers/NPCs at your disposal whether they are in your town or scanned in via Amiibo.
May I use Amiibos for Puzzle League?
No. Unlike Desert Island Escape, Amiibos in Puzzle League provide significant advantages to players who use them so they will not be allowed.
I don't have access to New Leaf. May I play the games elsewhere? (i.e. Amiibo Festival)
No. As this is our farewell to New Leaf event, you are required to play the games within New Leaf.
Do the prizes stack?
No. The maximum amount you could earn for Top Tier scores in both games is 30 Meow Coupons and 30 Bells.
Good luck and happy gaming!
