Last Days of Summer Sand Castle Contest 2026

A castle has appeared in the dunes, the source of sand revealed. From within one beckons:

"Come, and build a monument of sand. Impress me, and receive a reward."

And so, the challenge is issued.

The first official, Raptisoft Nova sponsored building competition begins today!

Builders, architects, and ambitious sand sculptors are invited to make their mark upon the dunes. Build whatever your imagination commands- as long as it's sand themed, of course.

Rules and details are posted in the realm "Sand Castle Contest 2026 Lobby" near the entrance to the castle. Additional questions are below.

Have fun!

All players that want to enter must rent a plot space in one of the rooms.

Q: How much does it cost?

100 cubits, which will be refunded at the end of the contest.

Q: Can I rent more than one plot?

Q: What is the theme?

The theme is sandcastles! Your build must include the new sandcastle blocks added in this update.

Q: How will you know whose plot is whose?

There are plenty of other fun things to do, why not go fishing, or play volleyball? You could also just hang out!
