July Becomes Best Ever Gaming Month

 









After an amazing first half of 2021, July ensured all records tumbled in a stunning month of achieving. This means the main goals for the year moved from maybe's to definitely being broken this year after a huge haul of 378 unlocks, 52,696 TA Points and 45,090 G. The totals are so huge that they double and even triple the June totals.

As the pursuit to complete the equivalent of one game per week across the year (52) was surpassed back in May, the next goal of 100 drew closer with a huge 30 completions out of a total of 31 games played. The graphic above shows 26 due to re-completions having happened since July with this catch-up post being written in November.
