As has become the tradition since 2011 a new edition of The GAME is upon us! This time the rules will be slightly different however as the quest will run only for 3 days instead of the usual 5, additionally after entering your keyword you will need to complete a specific 'action', we aren't too sure what said action will be yet, let's wait and see.

What is The GAME? How do I play?

 

Beginning today when the official announcement is posted; June 5th you will be able to register your nickname on the the GAME website to receive a special code in the email address registered to your Tanki Online account, you will need this code to enter the 3 keywords during the quest, don't share it and don't lose it! 
 
On the first day of the quest a video with a clue will be posted in the announcement topic. Each day's video clue will eventually lead to a keyword that needs to be entered on the GAME website. The quicker you are entering the keyword the bigger the prizes. 
 
It might sound straightforward but don't be fooled, its never easy and thats why this topic is here. Here you can share your findings about possible clues for the day or you can pick up other player's clues.

Clues

 
Day 1: Lieutenant Colonel 

Day 1 summary

---

 
In Day 1's video Kasim mentions a team who is not well known.
 
That team is Iran.
 
So we get to this topic which announced that Tanki is available in Iran: https://tankionline.com/en/2018/03/tanki-online-now-iran/
 
Scroll down and you find a link under 'game' which leads you to this image: https://tankionline.com/ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/kvestik.jpg
 
The image is an album cover which contains the song 'All you need is Love'
 
Scroll to a paint called 'All you need is' in the Wiki and next to the price you find a link: https://i.imgur.com/jPAYQyv.png
 
The link sends you to a password page called 'rankquestion' http://game.tankionline.com/rankquestion/
 

---

 
This section is not complete!
 
Somehow we come across this link: http://game.tankionline.com/red/
 
Once we get to the topic indicated in the picture and scroll down we see this post which tells us to go to the forum topic for V-Log 161. The 1 is hidden until you click the image: http://en.tankiforum.com/index.php?showtopic=371239&p=6486134
 
V-Log 161's forum topic tells us the password for the page we found earlier is 'war' as it references the 'War Herald series: https://i.imgur.com/QdE8Nyz.png
 
Once we enter the password we are greeted with this:

 
One side of the image is from a film called 'Major Payne' and the other is from a film called 'Avatar'.
 
The characters in the image are Major Payne and Colonel Miles Quaritch.
 
These are two possible keywords but as both are present we can see that in Tanki rank Lieutenant Colonel is found between Major and Colonel, which is also where The GAME day 1 logo lies in the image; in between both characters.
 
Therefore the answer is most likely:
 
Lieutenant Colonel Use at your own risk, it hasn't been confirmed!
 
Massive thanks to @CooperO and @emrakul for the team effort.  :wub:​

 Day 2: Madness

Day 2 summary

---

 
In Day 2's video a morse code appears on Kasim's shirt at 0:27 which spells W A S P
 
Additionally scrolling down in the video description reveals a link to a Google Form quiz the answers to which are: Captain, Colonel, Sergeant, General.
 
If we go to Wasp in the garage a link is found on the end of the description on the full stop immediately after the Wiki link, the link leads to a page http://game.tankionline.com/wrong_way/ which upon closer inspection shows us this:  idontknowwhattodo hidden in the white background.This indicates that we should type the phrase into the Help Site. Once we do this an image of a Juggernaut appears: https://i.imgur.com/vQpsNmv.png
 
Now lets go back to the quiz which when completed correctly sends us to this page: http://game.tankionline.com/howdidufindthisen/ From what Kasim mentions about Will Smith's song in the video and after some research we find that the 23rd word in Will's song is 'Flag' which corresponds to the 23 shown on the password page. 
 
Once we type in 'Flag' another password page appears to which the password is 'Juggernaut' which we know from the image found on the Help Site.
 
When all this is done we arrive on this page: http://game.tankionline.com/fifa2018countriesen/
 

 
The first letters of the names of the highlighted countries spell 'Madness'
 
Therefore the EN community answer:
 
Madness
 
Note: Russian community were shown a different map with 'en' in the respective links replaced with 'ru'. Their subsequent answer was Barda.

Day 3: videoblog

Day 3 summary

---

 
In day 3's video Kasim mentions a few Fifa mascots, one is a Wolf, another is called the Striker 94 mascot.
 
Lets start with Wolf. Wolf is a Hammer protection module in Tanki so we go to it's garage description, on the full stop at the end we find a link to this page: http://game.tankionline.com/lol_kek_cheburek_2018/
 
Once we find the 3 tanks we are sent to this page: http://game.tankionline.com/the_mighty_kasim/ it shows us the thumbnail of V-Log 145.
 
Once we get to V-Log 145 we see that the thumbnail text is actually different and asks us to go to 'News on the Website about Rugby of January 26th' which is this announcement: https://tankionline.com/en/2018/01/rugby-mode-coming-january-27th/
 
In the announcement we see a link in the first paragraph to this page: http://game.tankionline.com/thelastbutnottheleasten/ its a password page and we don't have a password yet so lets go back to the other mascot Kasim mentioned.
 
It is called the Striker 94 Mascot which tells us to go to the garage description of Striker. There we find a piece of text which says [website, materials, art, 3]
 
So we navigate to the materials tab, go to the art section and click on the third image. The image shows The GAME logo and a hidden piece of text which says 'theendofthegameisnear'.
 
We type this into our previously found password page and it shows us the final image which for some reason Tanki decided to omit the logo from the EN version and include in the RU version:
 

 
RU community version:
 

 
We take the items show in the image and remove the letters which the apostrophes indicate: Gravity, Desert, Pro, Blo, Gold
 
videoblog
 
Therefore the EN community answer is:
 
videoblog
