Good day, space campers! From Earth, you might imagine that space travel is all about exploring new worlds, battling space monsters, and chasing hot alien babes. As cool as that all might sound, it is sadly not our reality. It is our job to take the cargo that has been sent up from the hold and deliver it to residents within our solar system. Yep, we're glorified delivery boys. Upside, Captain Gulliver gave us really cool space scooters!
Unfortunately, the lads downstairs don't always pay close attention to detail. Sometimes we receive a parcel with illegible or missing labels. In these instances, we need to open the package and inspect the contents to see if we can find a packing slip with the recipients name or address on. Oh boy, you won't believe some of the things we find!
When an unmarked package turns up, we'll need your help to figure out who it belongs to. Pop back every couple of days to see if there is anything you can help us with.
How to Play
Each round, you will be presented with four cards. One will be face-down and the other three will be face-up. You will need to submit a guess for who you think the package belongs to.
Who is the recipient of today's package?
Once you are ready to make your guess, you will submit it via Planetary Express submission board. You will receive 6 Bridge Tokens and 5 Points for your team by making a guess.
When the round closes, the recipient's card will be flipped to reveal who the package belonged to. If you correctly guessed the recipient's card then you will receive a bonus 5 Mission Tokens as your award. If you guessed incorrectly, then you will receive only the participation prize. The team that submits the highest amount of correct guesses will take home a collective 100 Point bonus.
In this example, if the recipient's card flipped Pelly, then everyone who guessed Pelly would receive 5 Mission Tokens for their guess. Anyone who voted for Gulliver or Phyllis would receive only the participation prize. If the International Space Cetaceans submit more correct guesses than the Moon Bunnies, then the International Space Cetaceans will take home the 100 Point bonus.
Rules
- You may only submit one guess per round.
- Your guess must be posted before the deadline in Planetary Express submission board using the Villager and Round # drop-down menus. If you submit your entry incorrectly you won't be eligible for a prize.
How to Submit
You will submit your guess in Planetary Express submission board by 4:59PM EDT. Click the "Post thread" button and make sure to select the correct Villager and Round # from the drop-down menus otherwise your entry will not be accepted. The thread title and post content are not important - just put any filler text you like here.
If you have submitted your entry correctly, then you will see a box above your post showing your selections from the two drop-down menus.
Another way to check that you have correctly submitted your guess is by looking at Planetary Express submission board. If your entry has a "Round #" prefix and a picture of your chosen villager then you have submitted your guess correctly.

FAQs
How is the recipient's card chosen?
Their card is randomised.
What happens if I notice a mistake in my entry before the deadline passes?
Contact @Chris via TBT Conversation. Outline the mistake (e.g. wrong Round #) and I can fix it for you. Even if I don't see your message until after the deadline passes, I will still honour this and edit your entry accordingly. Do not make a new thread under any circumstances.
What happens if I notice a mistake in my entry after the deadline passes?
We cannot help you.
What happens if I accidentally make two threads?
Contact @Chris via TBT Conversation. I'll delete the one with the later timestamp. If you accidentally submit multiple threads for a single round and fail to notify us of the mistake then it will be treated as cheating and handled accordingly.
Submitted my guess for this second round as well!
