If you were building the ultimate Extra Life Game Day lineup, what game (tabletop counts!) HAS to be on it?
10 years ago I coloured my hair purple. We at @extralifeyyc.bsky.social lost a bet with our #Edmonton rivals, so I had to do go purple to honour @stollerykids.bsky.social. If we won, their social media person would've had to get their hair done blue, that's the Alberta Children's Hospital's colour.
When you take Extra Life blue very seriously. 💙🎮 Harkibald (on IG) brought back their iconic blue beard, and we have to respect the commitment. Would you dye your hair or beard Extra Life blue for your fundraiser? 👀
