| ## Devember 2023 | ||
|
|
||
| It's the most wonderful time of the year. When the community comes together to smash the everlasting pile of achievement tickets. Devember is an annual event where the community bands together to get through the outstanding tickets for inactive developers that have built up. This helps to improve overall site quality and make earning achievements a better experience for everyone, and those who take part also get an event badge, how's that for rewards! | ||
|
|
||
| Both developers and non-developers can participate and earn a badge by by resolving tickets and providing saves/states for developers to resolve tickets! The Wheel of Doom returns this year as well! However, spinning the wheel is not required in order to attain an event badge. They will help give bonus points though, so go get some spins! | ||
|
|
||
| Check out the [forum topic](https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=24475) or the Devember Discord channels for more information. | ||

| Did you all have a great Halloween? For RetroAchievements this year, {% rauserpic ZeeRA %} and the events team brings you [a unique event](https://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=24016) to celebrate this yearly spooky festivity! Players could choose from a total of 13 spooky games to play, earning a point for each that would reward them with one of three tiered badges depending on their progress. Furthermore, users could participate in one of three distractions for additional points! Providing tips on an achievements was one, with writing a Play This Set another (which you can read in this RANews Issue as well!). The final distraction was fan-art, which we are happy to showcase today! | ||
