''' | '''Chip's Challenge Zone''', often shortened to '''CC Zone''', is an unofficial message board created by [[Tom Patten]] for Chip's Challenge, which opened ''August 26th 2008''. It is designed for both casual and hardcore fans of the game, as well as discussing other related games such as ''Chuck's Challenge'' and ''Tile World.'' | ||
On ''January 1st 2012'', CC Zone was relaunched from scratch as '''CC Zone: The Next Level''', featuring a new download database, member awards, and an image gallery for Chip's Challenge content. | On ''January 1st 2012'', CC Zone was relaunched from scratch as '''CC Zone: The Next Level''', featuring a new download database, member awards, and an image gallery for Chip's Challenge content. | ||

Tom | Tom originally got the idea for CC Zone when he used to be an active member on a RollerCoaster Tycoon website named '''[http://forums.rctspace.com/ RCTSpace] '''. He liked the idea of having a large message board with a user community showing off their Chip's Challenge projects, plus having monthly competitions running at the same time for the community. Since Tom didn't see anything like this for Chip's Challenge yet, he decided to create CC Zone at first for his own Chip's Challenge projects. As more members joined the site, he left it open for the rest of the world to share their own opinions and projects within the game. | ||
== Competitions == | |||
Competitions for Chip's Challenge players have been held on the site since its inception. The two main types of competitions are Time Trials and Create Competitions. The first asks participants to send in their best scores for levels that are usually made specifically for the competition. The second asks users to submit their own creations based on some restriction or theme and then to be judged and ranked. Other types of competitions are run occasionally. These include Treasure Hunts, Survival Competitions and Special Challenges. Participants in any of these tasks are awarded Chip Cup points that accumulate over the course of a year to find the winner of the [[Chip Cup]]. | |||
== Downloads == | |||
CC Zone is an easy place to share levels made by users. Its download section receives has become the place for players to share their own levels. The interface allows for updates to old versions of a set, as well preview images, comments and ratings. | |||
== Blogs == | |||
Users can create and maintain their own blogs on the site as well. Many users use this to post write-ups about specific subjects varying from journal entries to set reviews. | |||
