Avant Gardens Survival Contest


It’s an outrage! A catastrophe! A breach of security! A game of Stromling hide-and-seek!

Last week a Stromling managed to sneak into the Sentinel Camp here in Avant Gardens. We found it napping in the RV gate, and when we woke it up it? Anarchy. Cackling like a hyena, the little rascal leapt up and caused an epic ruckus; turning over tables, riding the Dobermans like horses, and impersonating a Nexus Force soldier with a an oversized Sentinel helm on.

And then it found Klaus’ carton of Quicksicles. Ever tried to catch a Stromling when it’s all hopped up on Quicksicles, leaping through the air like a jumping bean? It’s like catching a greased pig with the power of flight.

We can’t let the Stromlings think it’s that easy to get into the Sentinel Camp! Head into their territory and last as long as you can using the Survival challenge – that’ll show the Maelstrom that they’re not the only ones who know how to crash a party.

Don’t tell anyone… but Stromling hide-and-seek was kind of fun!

Win back the Sentinel Camp’s honor by lasting as long as you can in the Avant Gardens mini-game this weekend! The top ten winners from each age group (12 & under and 13 & older) will win themed in-game prizes and LEGO Atlantis sets! To enter, simply play the Avant Gardens mini-game between Saturday, September 10th and Sunday, September 11th – your score will automatically be entered, easy as that! Play as many times as you like!




To qualify, players will not only have to last as long as they can, but must also score at least 1,000 points per minute. This means that if you play for 100 minutes, but do not have a score of over 100,000 points, then you won’t qualify to be a winner! You will have to actually fight the Maelstrom this weekend to get your hands on this wave of prizes!


The top winner from each age group will receive these prizes:
o 1 LEGO Atlantis Portal of Atlantis set (#8078)
o 1 LEGO Atlantis Atlantis Exploration HQ set (#8077)
