It’s Just a Regular Day in April…

A day where we admire our 2000s pop punk CD collection and eat a small to medium sized mountain of olives. Where we stream together with our best friends, acquaintances, or total strangers (we don’t judge). Okay, we lied, it’s not just a regular day. It’s April Fool’s Day and we’ve got a bunch of shenanigans you can get involved in.

First up, four totally legit, totally new categories that are only available until April 4th, so grab that razor scooter, heat up a plate of pizza rolls, and get to business on-stream to get featured on the front page shelf!

But wait a minute, do we smell a little scavenger hunt?

A Fool’s Scavenger Hunt

Unlock the limited-time Gone Bananas Badge when you find and share the most cackle-worthy clips from Twitch between April 1-4. Share those whacky hauls and disconcerting snacks, unlikely duos and resurrected Y2K memorabilia, you won’t want to miss out on this badge… it’s gilded, it’s a banana, what more can you ask for?

What’s On

We’ve got something from the turn of the century cooking on /Twitch @ 12PM PT. All we’ll say is BYOT (bring your own tamagotchi).

And of course the nonsense doesn’t stop there - at 2pm PT, join us on /TwitchRivals for an afternoon of chaos with Goat Simulator 3’s expansion, Multiverse of Nonsense! Watch as 16 players compete for a $20k prize pool.
