Coolest Pod in the Universe Contest!

Things have really taken off at the space station recently and there’s been a lot of exciting, new additions! Now, Blasters have their own homes called pods and can earn credits to decorate them. Credits are Math Blaster’s very own currency and can be used to buy all sorts of furniture and accessories for a Blaster’s pod. They can be earned by playing games that help develop math skills such as B-Force Blaster, Bolt Cruncher and Oozami.

Max wants to celebrate both of these latest additions by hosting a contest to see what kinds of spaces your kids have created and find out who has the Coolest Pod in the Universe! Tell your kids to start earning credits so they can begin buying items to decorate their pod and enter to win by October 4, 2011. The Blaster with the best pod will receive 5000 credits!

There are so many items to choose from in the My Pod Store, Max can only imagine the creative ways your children will come up with to decorate their pod. They can give it a theme, make it wacky, or design it to be the pod where all Blasters will want to hang out!

This Blaster’s pod is out of this world!

To enter the contest, email a picture of your child’s pod to Max at MaxBlaster@adventure.com along with the name of his or her Blaster. This is important so that Max will know who to reward for having the Coolest Pod in the Universe. All entries are due by Tuesday, October 4, 2011.

You can take a picture of your child’s pod by taking a picture of your computer screen with a screenshot. To do this, open Math Blaster and go into your child’s Blaster’s pod. Make sure the pod looks just the way he or she wants it, and have the Blaster stand so that you have a good view of the pod. If you have a PC, press ‘Print Screen,’ which will take a picture of your screen. Then you can paste the picture you just took into a Microsoft Word document, save the document, and attach it in your email to Max. If you have a Mac, hold down ‘Command + Shift + 3’ at the same time and let go. This will take a screenshot and save a picture to your desktop, which you can then attach in your email to Max.

Tell your kids to start perfecting their pods so they can enter to win! Good Luck!
