โœณ๏ธ Skool Game Update for 2025
Hey everybody,
I just watched the recording with the new Skool Game rules. Here's a AI summary for you:
Major Changes for 2025:
  1. Quarterly challenges instead of monthly (90 days vs 30 days) to better measure real business growth and retention
  • Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 format
  • Longer timeframe better reflects true business building
  • Churn is now factored into metrics
  1. New $100/month price limit for School Games competition
  • Max price to compete is $100/month ($1,200/year)
  • Higher prices will be counted as $100 for leaderboard purposes
  • Based on data showing lower-priced communities have better retention
  1. Six distinct categories to give all niches a chance
  • Business
  • Hobbies
  • Music
  • Health
  • Personal Development
  • Affiliates
  • Top 5 in each category win (30 winners total)
  1. New prize structure
  • All winners get all-expenses-paid trip to LA event
  • Professional award ceremony at School HQ
  • Custom metal trophy with winner's name engraved
  • Quarterly events featuring successful creators sharing strategies
Upcoming Features:
  • Affiliate system launching in Q1 2025 (Feb-March timeframe)
  • New map feature showing community member locations
  • More global meetup opportunities
New Focus:
  • Emphasis on building sustainable communities rather than short-term gains
  • Greater transparency in showing both growth and churn
  • Focus on passion and long-term community building over quick money
  • Platform reducing ad spend by 90% to focus on quality growth
Past winners can still compete, and it's possible to win multiple quarters if maintaining/growing MRR. The new system aims to reward sustainable business building over short-term tactics.
