SNOWFIGHT 2025

SNOWFIGHT 2025 - LET THE CHAOS BEGIN!

Winter has officially arrived in The Hive, and with it… an all-out blizzard of friendly mayhem. Grab your gloves, shake off the frost, and get ready to pelt fellow Bees with virtual snowballs while dodging incoming attacks with real-world jumping jacks.

This is a fast, silly, high-energy community event meant to get everyone moving and having fun. The more you dodge, the more snowballs you get - and the faster the snowstorm grows. Jump in, tag friends - and strangers, and see who can survive the flurry!

HOW TO PLAY

1. Everyone starts with two snowballs .
2. To attack, tag someone using @Username and throw one or two snowballs at them.
3. To dodge a snowball, do one jumping jack per snowball. Can’t do jumping jacks? Do side jacks instead.
4. Each snowball you successfully dodge rewards you with two new snowballs to throw back.
5. You have 24 hours to dodge any snowball thrown at you - after that, it counts as a hit.
6. The entire fight happens in this thread (keep all throws here!).
7. Not sure who to tag? Check who’s online at the bottom of the forum page.
8. Bring in as many Bees as you can - the bigger the snowstorm, the more fun it gets.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• It’s absolutely okay not to respond if you don’t want to participate - just ignore the tag.
• If you prefer not to appear in the “online” list during the event, you can enable Invisible Mode in your forum settings.

Once you join in, don’t forget to claim your SNOWFIGHT 2025 participation badge in your profile!

Still gonna dodge the last 101 I got coming at me. And y'all should be happy I'm not throwing the 202 I would have gained, lol.

This is a favorite event of mine. Thank you so much for putting it on. And thanks a ton for the counter. It was super helpful!

 

[TopNotch]

I'll take my remaining 537 snowballs and build an igloo out of them. Maybe I'll keep 7 for drinks and smoothies...
As always, it was fun!

 

[Aldethar]

Dodged the ball from @Ariaana21, but keeping it as I dont want to make enemies

 

[Vivienne14114]

I HAVE 242 TO THROW!!!!!!!!
Also @TopNotch I vow to throw at least 200 Snowballs next year.
Thank you everyone for throwing 251 at me.

 

[Wloke20]

aw I shouldn‘t hoarded my snowballs last night…I still dodged the last few from tonight and because I cann‘t count I also redodged the 29 from yesterday…
Now I can cover myself with 160 snowballs and go back to sleep until next year.

@Damer and @Sólveig each (that's twenty each in addition to the six above)

I ended up like this:

 

[Damer]

You louts! I got caught up with work stuff the last few hours of the event so it ended up looking like this:

which means I ended up like dis:

because of the Christmas decorations I can't close the blinds in my living room and my neighbors for sure think I am bonkers! I log on to my laptop and then jump up and do this

I caught two of them peering at me past midnight (and they thought they were clever having no lights on, but they do have Christmas lights on their balcony so yeah, I saw them! )

This year's event was awesome! I totally needed it and you guys made it a lot of fun! I can only say "Thank You!" for being here and participating. Here's to a brilliant Christmas for all of you, wherever you are!

[vulture1930]

Great job everyone. That was pretty fun

 

[MRF]

My friend @Damer, I feel like you might not have enjoyed my jokes since there was no reaction. If so, I truly apologize.

Thank you very much for this event and for all the great work you and the team do on Darebee.

 

[Elocin]

Évité avec plaisir

Too late for return 10 :tristesse:

 

[Melnazar]

I had the chance to do a last 20 but alas, the event is over...
I think I'll still do jumping jacks just for fun while the little one is sleeping.

 

[Logan]

Dammit. I did all the dodging but thought today was included.
Left with 140 in reserve. Oh well I'll build an igloo!

@neilarey
Going forward can we have a GMT time included in the rules? No need for the extra work of a full chart like in Hive defender.

 

[DahMagicMan]

Dodged the last ones. I have so many snowballs! Guess I'll use them

Happy Holidays to everyone! Also, thanks for the counter! It was so useful!

 

[Damer]

My friend @Damer, I feel like you might not have enjoyed my jokes since there was no reaction. If so, I truly apologize.

Thank you very much for this event and for all the great work you and the team do on Darebee.

@MRF I don't think I've seen them if I have not reacted to them. You never need to apologize, especially for jokes. It's been a crazy-busy year for me in my day job and keeping up with everything DAREBEE has been really challenging. I made a promise to myself to be more present in The Hive in 2026. So, more opportunities to interact.

 

[Damer]

With all the extra ones I did not get a chance to send to all those on my list I ended up with this:

 

[Saffity]

I will finish dodging my last 17 before all of these melt and enjoy my bounty. Sad that I started late due to a busy weekend but thank you everyone for remembering me!

SO looking forward to Battleground!

 

[Sólveig]

I'll dodge the last 40 and start building a snowman now. Looking forward for Battleground now!

 

[Fanta]

Oops this closed up earlier than I had anticipated. My browser closed and I lost my dodged count and Im too lazy to scroll through 11 pages of posts to count them back. It might have been 30, and I counted 29 more to dodge just now.

I will do the jumping jacks ANYWAYS because why not!!

Thanks for hosting!

 

[MRF]

@MRF I don't think I've seen them if I have not reacted to them. You never need to apologize, especially for jokes. It's been a crazy-busy year for me in my day job and keeping up with everything DAREBEE has been really challenging. I made a promise to myself to be more present in The Hive in 2026. So, more opportunities to interact.

I'm so happy about that. It's completely understandable, and I really appreciate all the great work you and the team do.

 

[Lady Celerity]

Due to unforeseen circumstances I didn't dodge some of your snowballs right away. But thanks for including me!

 

[ridgel0rd0]

dodged all my snowballs! hurling more at @dopaw, @TopNotch, @graoumia, and @Maegaranthelas

 

[brandteixeira]

Thank you all!
I got under a pile of undodged snowballs, but now I'm ready for the battleground

Happy festive season bees!
