the raffles

for the first spark

and seven jungle fire candles

are governed by rules

for fairness

and clarity.

raffle definition

the raffles—8 of them—are 8 separate reward draws triggered by the full lighting of the first spark followed by the seven jungle candles. candle contribution determines raffle eligibility.

how to enter a raffle

contribute to the first spark or a project within a candle at a tier that provides one or more raffle tickets.

how to get your raffle ticket

raffle tickets are not explicitly issued. your raffle-eligible contribution is recorded in the raffle entries ledger with your email address (obscured), timestamp, and unique raffle entry id.

tracking raffle participation

watch raffle participation accumulate across candles by monitoring the promptly updated raffle entries ledger.

when the raffles happen

each of the 8 raffles (for the first spark + 7 candles) occurs independently at the moment when the spark or candle is 100% lit. in the unlikely event that a flame is not fully lit by the summer solstice (june 21, 2026), its raffle will still be drawn—at the stroke of midnight, jungle time.

how winners are chosen

each raffle is drawn while screen recording with loom using a transparent, randomized selection tool such as wheelofnames.com or a similar verified generator. each raffle entry is entered using its unique anonymized id. the loom video demonstrating the raffle drawing is released in tandem with raffle results.

raffle prizes

raffle prizes may be candle-specific or permit the winner to choose among prizes—ranging from the one-week founders unplugged experience to one week of jungle anarchy summer camp (both with airfare up to $1,000 included) or lifetime unlimited access to hot tropic.

how raffle participants are notified

raffle results verified by loom videos shall be emailed to all raffle participants regardless of whether the participant wins. winners shall receive additional special instructions for claiming their raffle prizes.

winning more than once

raffle participants may win more than one raffle, but not more than one raffle prize per candle.

faq

how can i maximize my chances of winning a raffle?

not sure—but contributing to a candle with fewer creature participants or lower funding goal may improve your odds of winning.

are there any consolation prizes?

not explicitly—but even raffle losers earn creature rewards and may watch the goddess sacrifice on schedule.

what if i can’t or don’t claim my raffle prize?

claiming your raffle prize has no expiration date—unless you’ve died, disappeared, or ascended, you still have time.
