Cells Named by Players

A list of all the cells that have been named by players for Marathons or special occasions.

If you would like to participate in a cell naming process, we regularly host marathons every month with name nominations provided if the cell is completed within 24 hrs. Players who:

Complete at least 50 cubes will win rights to vote on a new name for a marathon cell.
Complete at least 200 cubes will win rights to nominate a new name for a marathon cell.

Several of our cells have been named after the theme of a competition, current events or in memoriam.

TY!!! :smiley: do you guys remember which player nominated the names for each of those? It’d be cool to have them next to dates or before name. :smile:

Some of these were group efforts and only recently have nominated names been tied directly to players. Those that named will just have to know for themselves :wink:
