EARTH DAY CHALLENGE:
XEOPlay is on a mission to have players break 3 Million Tilt Points through Earth Day and thats enough to send their CEO Nicole Lazzaro to Madagascar to plant the first batch of thousand trees with their friends at WeForest. All thats needed is loyal Tilt World players to team up with Flip to achieve the goal. The final goal is up to 1 Million trees by the end of the year. As a special treat this Earth Day, XEOPlay is doubling what players points would normally be worth, which means players can help to plant twice as many trees!
