Introducing the GoLI 2021 Resolution Challenges for paid GoLI members! The idea behind GoLI's 2021 Resolution Challenges is simple: meet the challenge criteria and earn GoLI Tokens that can be redeemed for GoLI swag, entry into a raffle or other cool prizes at the end of 2021. The idea is simple, but some of the actual challenges not so much. Please see the Fine Print below for important rules, including that due to tracking issues Adventure Labs only count for Challenge # 6.

Fine Print: Prizes are for paid GoLI members only. Due to tracking issues, Adventure Labs only count for Challenge # 6. Unless otherwise noted, finds can be from caches located anywhere. In addition, unless otherwise noted, players can only be awarded once for each challenge and challenge stacking is not permitted in challenge subsets. However, players can use one find to qualify for multiple challenges. For example, a player cannot be awarded for more than one #3 Streak Challenge subsets but can awarded for one of the #3 Streak Challenge subsets and the #4 One Day Cache Type Challenge using the same cache find.
“GoLI Tokens” are not physical prizes but are tallied and can be redeemed for GoLI swag, entry into a raffle or other cool prizes that we will announce at the end of 2021. Players must track their own progress and submit it to BroKarl at BroKarl@live.com by a deadline we’ll announce later (thanks Karl!). Karl will be maintaining a leaderboard throughout the year, so submit your progress to him all year long!
Thanks to Ben Keslowitz , Eric Struck , Allie Bertman and Andy Zuch for helping put this together. Good luck everyone and Happy New Year!
Good luck!
