Earth Day Re-Cap

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Great job Xeko, you all worked very hard to keep the piles of trash off the Island.  Everyone traded enough piles of trash with the host to add 22,350 virtual pounds to the GoodQuest Goal!!! Congrats Xeko.  Remember to always reduce, reuse, and recycle!!!

Keeping Gaming for Good to help our planet in the Earth GoodQuest!

The Earth GoodQuest is Live

Friday, April 9th, 2010

Our EarthXeko Mission: If you guessed helping our Earth was the next GoodQuest you were correct. Beginning Friday, April 9, your mission will be to help save our planet by playing the Earth GoodQuest. For this GoodQuest, Xeko partnered with the World Care, a non-profit dedicated to protecting our earth through reducing, reusing, and recycling. Through the GoodQuest game, we’ll work to prevent 20,000 lbs of trash from going into a landfill, which will be recycled or reused to help children in need. Grab your friends and login to Xeko on Friday, April 9th and start Gaming for Good to save our Earth!

Fact: Bottling water created more than 2.5 million tons of CO2 in 2006.

Xeko, below are some facts about an animal that really needs your help. Can you guess what it is?

  • Native to  Madagascar
  • These animals spend most of their time in trees and bushes.
  • They look something like a cat crossed with a squirrel and a dog.
  • They have an interesting range of behaviors from singing like a whale to sashaying across the sand like a ballet dancer.

What am I???

Any ideas on who or what you are helping by playing Xeko in the next GoodQuest? Let us know! Here’s a hint – it has something to do with the Chinese New Year!
