3. HOW TO PLAY

Download the free app “ConsumerBreak” from the Apple App Store (iOS devices) or Google Play Store (Android devices). Open the app and register by inputting a Contact Email and Leaderboard Name and tapping to look at the Terms and Rules. After logging in, you will see a Home screen with thumbnails for different games.

To play you must have Internet access and a valid registered account, which is associated with your mobile device after your first login. Automated methods of participation are prohibited and any use of automated devices will cause disqualification, termination, and possible legal action. In the event of a dispute regarding the identity of the participant, the natural person associated with the device account provided at the time of registration will be considered the participant. Participants may not register multiple times on the same device, nor may participants use any other device or artifice to register multiple times. Any participant who attempts to log in with multiple accounts or uses any device or artifice to register multiple times will be disqualified and forfeits any and all prizes won, and may be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, in Sponsor's sole discretion. By participating, you agree to abide by and be bound by these Official Rules.

The play rules are as follows:

During the SELECTION BREAK entry period, a thumbnail labeled “SELECTION BREAK” will be visible on the Home screen with a “Begin” button. Tap on this button or on the image thumbnail to start playing.

For contest rounds after SELECTION BREAK, the respective top scores of each previous round will receive a special password to enter the next rounds via email and push notification. In the remaining 6 hours of each contest, the Sponsor will send reminders to qualified participants who have not yet entered. Sponsor is not responsible for users not entering their scores within the given timeframe.

You can contact Sponsor at any time during the Promotion at contact@consumerbreak.com with questions or to receive the required password if you are a verified qualified participant for the ongoing contest round.

Once obtaining a password, tap on the app menu button at the top right of the Home screen, then tap “Password Game Entry”, and then input the required password for the live contest round. After entering the correct password, the game will open up for play and will be visible as a thumbnail on the Home screen to access again later.

You can tap the “i” (INFO) button on any contest thumbnail or “Begin” screen to see information about the contest such as the prizes and how to win.

Once entering a contest, you will be given a puzzle (a “Level”) to complete. To enter your “Play” for the game, tap on “Begin” and take as long as you need to finish the puzzle by assembling all of the pieces together.

The 4 corner pieces of the image will be displayed on the screen. You must reassemble the rest of the “broken” pieces as quickly as you can. A puzzle piece will be presented in the middle of the screen for you to drag to the correct spot. You may rotate the piece in 90° intervals by tapping on it. Once the piece is placed in the correct location and at the correct rotation, a new piece will be presented. You may also tap on the "Pass" button to skip the piece in play to be cycled around later. To view the full image at any time for reference, hold down the “Hold to view image” button. The timer will continue running while you view the image.

When the image is fully put back together, the time that you spent solving the puzzle is recorded for the contest and will appear on the live leaderboard by order of time score with the shortest at the top. Tap anywhere to break the image apart and continue. This is all that is required to enter, but you may now solve the puzzle again up to 9 more times to get a faster time score for the contest leaderboard. The image will stay the same for all attempts, but the puzzle piece pattern will be randomized for every attempt. Limit ten (10) attempts per person per game. If you Restart the attempt or leave the app during the puzzle solve, you will forfeit that attempt. Your fastest time score out of all attempts at the end of the contest entry period will be deemed your Time Score for the game. The Begin Screen will display your current best time score.

Within 6 hours of each contest round’s conclusion, the leaderboards will be determined and posted by Sponsor at consumerbreak.com/madness (linked at “Winners” page in app menu) and passwords sent to respective qualified participants for the next round.

The Sponsor’s servers hosting the game software are the official clock for these Promotions. All winner and leaderboard final decisions are at the sole discretion of Sponsor.
