Hey all!Instructions are updated, the quiz is live, and the cheater prompts are there (I really, really recommend taking the quiz before clicking on that spoiler tab, fwiw).
The quiz has four questions, and should take less than five minutes to complete.
You're more than welcome to take the game now and get your prompts set out in time, just remember that you'll need to have finished the books between April 1 and June 30th.
Please let me know if you have any questions and enjoy :)

Ha ha! I'm totally making the system work for me.

I'm dead right now—written like a true achiever :P
I took the test twice as well. I came up as a Hacker to start, and really looked hard at my TBR list and the prompts, but there just was almost no alignment. I would have had to add books to my list in order to participate. So I took the quiz again and got Explorer. Those prompts align more with my massive TBR list. I love these quarterly games because they keep me motivated to keep reading even when I might make an excuse about being too busy, but I'm already a procrastinator and have a TBR that is maybe longer than I have lifetime left to read, so I will be doing the second result, Explorer. But I really liked the quiz.
