It is most definitely there. But people have encountered problems with extensions and CSS configurations that hide parts of the home page. Please make sure you have these properly configured (or turned off)!

The calendar game has never been anything but frustrating for me. I usually am on BGA daily, but I only go to the News or FrontPage 1-2 times a week. I think there was exactly one time I saw the first chest on the first day of one of these, and I almost always failed to get a full streak due to the calendar being on French Time anyway. (I don't remember if they changed that, but it was definitely an issue in the past).

for each of the previous events, I have been visiting the site daily but would always forget 1 day or another to go on the home page to click on the treasure chest instead of the lobby where i usually default to. I am sure there are others like me.
It hurts.
Yes!!! Adding a copy of the treasure chest, or even a link to the homepage with a "Summer 2026 event" on the Lobby page would be perfect! Just that visual reminder that the event is happening.

I don't see a single em dash in there, can't be AI.

Curious, why would the timezone cause an issue? Its still available for a full 24 hours so the timezone doesn't matter in the slightest. As long as you are consistently on at around the same time every day the chest will be available.

Totally agree! I am ALWAYS on the "Games" page, and its right there next to Latest Games on BGA. Ruins it every time.

I'd pretty much appreciate it if you put the calendar at the top of the home page. Like, first thing we see as we login because as soon as i click the GAMES tab, i'll be forgetting everything from that point onward.

"And a last one for completing the entire month's challenge."

Does this mean opening each chest for 31 consecutive days, or at the end of the challenge everyone will be given an achievement? We are gamers, please be SPECIFIC in regards to the rules. State it clearly, or state "you have to guess what this means".
