Hands On HotDropFPS PC! Player Guide

The event begins June 6 at 12:00 PM Pacific Time. Approved contestants receive one private username/key pair before the event. Keep your key private, sign in early, complete check-in, and be ready for live randomized interaction checks.

1. Before Event Day

Protect your username/key

  • You will receive an approved Twitch/Kick username and a private one-time event key.
  • Do not share, sell, transfer, post, screenshot, or stream your key.
  • Your key can be claimed only once and becomes attached to the account that claims it first.
  • Create or sign into the event platform before check-in opens so you are not rushed.
  • Review the official rules and privacy notice before claiming your key.

2. Claiming Your Spot

Use your username and private key

  • Open the contestant login page and sign in with your own account.
  • Enter the exact approved username assigned to you.
  • Enter your private key and complete the required rules/privacy acknowledgements.
  • After a successful claim, your public event identity will be your approved Twitch/Kick username.
  • If your key is lost before it is claimed, contact HotDropFPS before roster lock. Reissues are not guaranteed.

3. Check-In

One network per contestant at check-in

  • You must check in before the roster is locked.
  • Only one contestant may check in from the same detected public network connection.
  • If another contestant has already checked in from your network, your check-in may be denied.
  • After a successful check-in, you may change networks if your device needs to stay connected.
  • If you do not claim and check in before roster lock, you will not enter the event and no replacement will be admitted after start.

4. During Gameplay

Respond to randomized checks

  • Once the event starts, keep the contestant page open and watch the Presence Check area.
  • Checks may ask you to click a button, type a phrase, answer a math prompt, or click a labeled PC component.
  • Deadlines are controlled by the server. Refreshing, switching devices, or reconnecting does not add extra time.
  • Missing or failing checks outside approved protection follows the event lifeline/elimination rules.
  • No new or replacement contestants can enter once the roster is locked.

5. Healthy Play Breaks

Use protected breaks responsibly

  • Emergency Break: 15 minutes of protected missed-check exemption, available once every 8 hours.
  • Long Break: 4 hours of protected missed-check exemption, available once every 24 hours.
  • Break timers are server-controlled and cannot be reset or extended by the browser.
  • Breaks cannot be started after seeing an incoming or active interaction check.
  • The page will show when your active break ends and when each break becomes available again.

6. Switching Devices

Move from PC to phone safely

  • You may sign in on another device using the same contestant account.
  • Choose Continue Event On This Device to move control to the new device.
  • Your previous device becomes view-only and cannot submit checks or request breaks.
  • Device switching does not pause the event, reset timers, restore missed checks, or change your lifelines.
  • Use only one active device for gameplay. Sharing account access or using multiple people to operate one contestant is prohibited.

7. Fair Play

One person, one account, one key

  • No bots, automation, scripts, macros, remote operators, account sharing, or outside assistance.
  • Do not attempt to manipulate timing, network checks, device sessions, browser requests, or event data.
  • HotDropFPS may review logs, incidents, security records, and eligibility before confirming final results.
  • The final result is winner-pending until host verification is completed.

8. Privacy Reminder

Public vs private information

  • Your Twitch/Kick username and submitted profile photo may appear during the live event and event promotion.
  • Your name, email, private key, network/security data, and private audit details are not shown publicly.
  • Read the privacy notice for more information before participating.
