Over the course of gameplay (November 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025) the players will post their final selections for their fantasy art collections in their fantasy art collection photo albums.

Look inside the fantasy art collection albums to find out what works of art are being added to each fantasy art collection.

Each photo of a work of art in a given fantasy art collection will include a description with the following information:

• The artist's name
• The title of the work
• The venue where the work is on exhibit
• The price of the work 
• The fantasy budget level for that fantasy art collection.

Once you have a work of art in mind and you have noted the description you will be ready to visit the players on Instagram and make the connection.

Over the course of gameplay (November 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025) the players will each post photos, reels and stories related to their Red Dot Challenge, Season 1 experiences & interests on their Instagram account. 
​
The posts will include images of artworks they are considering for their fantasy art collection along with information about the artists who made the work as well as the venues where they found the works. Other information, like the title of the works, may also be noted in a post on Instagram. This information is what you'll need to match players with their fantasy art collections.

The players will NOT specifically or precisely identify which works will end up in their fantasy art collection.  But the works under consideration by the players will be depicted in one or more posts. You will be looking for pictures found on both on Instagram and in a fantasy art collection album.

After you've looked around at the players' posts you'll be ready to cross reference what you've learned on Instagram with what you see in the fantasy art collection albums on Facebook.
