Hello campers, and welcome to the first day of Smash Camp 2025! This year's going to be fantastic if precamp's got anything to say about it; we hope you're as excited for the week as we are!
In these day posts, we'll tell you all you need to know and more. Before you read any further, it is important that you understand our submission guidelines.
All submissions go into the respective submission channel for your cabin. Entries will not count unless they are posted there. Only submissions should be placed in that channel. Keep all of your submissions in one message if the character limit permits. Use image links (from Discord, imgur, etc.) instead of directly uploading to the channel when posting images. All discussion should be held in your cabin's main Discord channel.

If you need an extension on the deadline for whatever reason, talk to Bossvelt and Thundawave about it beforehand. All entries submitted past the deadline will only be counted for participation points and will NOT place if they would have otherwise.
 
ALL SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CHANNELS BY .

Cabin Naming

Revotes and memes aside, each cabin has settled on a name. From now on, these will be our cabin names:

Cabin 1 is now known as Gamers Against Yoshi's Story (GAYS)!
Cabin 2 is now known as Super Dickmann's Dicke Nüsse!
Cabin 3 is now known as :3!
Cabin 4 is now known as Cabin of Theseus!
 

Cabin Flag

Create a flag to represent you and your cabin and submit it in your cabin's submission channel! Try and think of something to represent your cabin specifically. Vote on which flag should be used, and your counselor will confirm the final flag with the camp leaders. This flag will be displayed in every leaderboard update, so choose wisely!

Contest Guidelines

  • Flags MUST have dimensions of 300 x 150 px.
  • Flags must contain your cabin name.
  • You may use any art medium to create your flag.
You will receive 10 points if you submit a flag. Entries made with clearly low effort will NOT count for participation.

Notice: We expect the representative flag to be submitted by cabin counselors in the submission channel before the start of Day Two.

Name 100 Women Challenge

We have so many events we wanted to start you guys off a little bit light today for a group event.

You will be using this nifty website: Can You Name 100 Women?

It is up to your discretion how many people you want to be available for this event. There will be a designated person entering the names on the website while streaming in the cabin voice chat. The other people in the call can help the designated typer with filling out the list by naming women. Once you successfully name 100 women as a cabin, you are finished. You MUST coordinate a time to start the event with an admin and let them know who is participating. Other cabin members that are not participating can join the call, but they must be muted when the event begins. 

Placements will of course be based on which cabin completed the challenge the fastest. 

tl;dr rules: 
-There will be 1 designated typist. 
-Up to the cabin how many people they want available in call. 
-Names must be given verbally in call by those helping. People cannot type it out and the typist cannot just copy and paste the name. 
-No adult stars. If adult stars are entered, there will be a time penalty of 10 seconds for each one. 
-You must coordinate a start time with a leader to be present for when you begin your run. 

1st place will be awarded 150 points
2nd place will be awarded 100 points
3rd place will be awarded 75 points
4th place will be awarded 50 points

Scavenger Hunt (Day 1)

A staple of Smash Camp that we're excited to bring back this year! For this event, we will provide a list of items that each camper will need to find and take a picture of in real life. Find them, take a picture of them (with the required proof - see below), and get some points! You will earn 5 points for each picture submitted, with an extra 5 bonus points available for specific items.

Contest Guidelines

  • You may only take photos of these items in person (in your house, at a store, wherever as long as you're physically with the item). It cannot be a screenshot or an image from the internet.
  • Your photo absolutely must be accompanied by a slip of paper with your username and cabin number on it (see the example below).
  • In the past we've been lenient with the validity of submissions that were not totally accurate but showed effort and/or creativity. This year, we will only accept submissions that are accurate as to what we're requesting (e.g. if we ask for a lime, we wouldn't accept a lemon that's been painted green).
  • Bonus points will be available for one or more items per day. These points will be awarded at the discretion of camp staff for submissions that meet the bonus requirements.

Today's items are the following:
  • Colored AV cables
  • Skeleton related/themed item (cannot be something made for the scavenger hunt) Bonus if it is a life size or larger full skeleton
  • A pink flower Bonus if found in nature


Example submission:

Video Game Geoguessr (Day 1)

We will be providing screenshots from these 3 games: Super Mario Odyssey, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet. You will try to figure out where the character is standing on the map based off the screenshot. You will submit your answer as a cabin from these map websites we're providing:

SCREENSHOTS!

Mario: Kingdom Maps - Super Mario Odyssey Guide - IGN
Monster Hunter: Interactive Map and List of Locations | Monster Hunter Wilds|Game8
Pokemon: Paldea Region | Pokémon Scarlet/Violet Map | Map Genie

Points will be awarded for each location based off closest to farthest. If there is a situation in which there are answers from different cabins that are so close to each other the difference is negligible, it will be a tie and both cabins (or more) will receive the same amount of points

1st - 30 points
2nd - 20 points
3rd - 10 points
4th - 5 points

But that's not all! Along with that, there are also 10 screenshots from different games where you have to guess the video game and what level/location in the game the image is from. Cabins will get 5 points for guessing the correct game and 5 points for guessing the correct level/location.

SCREENSHOTS!

Answers will be submitted in the submissions channel for each cabin. 

DO NOT CHEAT BY USING GOOGLE LENS OR AND REVERSE IMAGE SEARCHES! THAT IS LAME!

Tournaments

One of Smash Camp's biggest attractions is our game tournaments! Starting today with Day 1, all tournaments have BEGUN! Check out the tournament channels as tournaments proceed, and see whom you will be paired against! Remember, all tournaments have a one day match cycle, so you need to be on top of each match!

Side Events

Once you finish your daily activities, we strongly encourage you to participate in our side events! Some of these will last all of Smash Camp, and some have deadlines. Make sure to read the rules and enjoy what we think is one of the coolest parts of Smash Camp! Additional details for each of the side events can be found here.


Good luck everyone, and have a great first day of camp!

PS: In particular, please check out the Smash Camp Casino here as it is a brand new event that can become very involved throughout the week: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
