'Game of Tribes': All about Meta's new gaming community challenge for Facebook users

Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has launched a Gaming Community challenge with the hope of building active gaming communities on the social media platform. The Facebook Gaming Community challenge has been labelled 'Game of Tribes' and will be live in India for a duration of five months.

To win Game of Tribes, communities on Facebook will compete with each other for monthly prizes in a first of its kind gaming challenge. The completion will also award a grand prize at the end. Meta informed, via the official website of Game of Tribes, that the challenge will group communities as Lit and Legends. The former would comprise groups that are less than a year old and the latter will be made up of groups that have been on the social media platform for over a year. 

"Facebook is hosting a 5-month long community challenge where gaming enthusiasts across all genres, genders, locations and interests will battle it out against each other to build the most active, engaging and thriving gaming groups on Facebook,” the Game of Tribes website announces.
