EDITOR'S NOTE February | 2020
Dear Influencers,
Welcome to your monthly update of the Toluna community,
initiatives and winners!
The Australian bushfire crisis may be under control now, but
there is still a lot of rebuilding and recovery to do. Together with
members from all over the world, we have raised a substantial
amount to help those who have been affected - and we thank
you for your support!
In this issue of the magazine, we also celebrate love - and as of
the time of publication, there is still time to participate in our
Valentine's games and content. Lastly, it's been an eventful
month in terms of global events. Check out the community's
opinions about such events.
Keep Influencing Your World

WORLD'S MOST
ROMANTIC CITIES
Until 16th February, play this sliding puzzle game for a chance
to win some bonus points!
• First, try to solve the sliding puzzle within 120 seconds. Note:
you can only move the tiles that are adjacent to the empty
space. To move a tile, click or tap it.

whether or not you've won bonus points!

CUPID'S HEARTS
Valentine's Day wouldn't be complete without some mischief
from Cupid!
In this game, shoot the love heart candies as they fall from the
sky. If you miss one, or if you shoot a broken heart, you'll lose a
life. The top 200 players will receive 500 points each when the
game ends on 17th February. Good luck!

#TolunaWins
#TolunaWins is a way for you to earn bonus points for sharing your
Toluna rewards and winnings. Simply redeem your points for rewards
from the Rewards Centre, and once you have received it (PayPal cash or
e-gift cards), post about it on the Toluna Community and other social
media. Don't forget to include a photo or image that illustrates how you've
spent your hard-earned points!
Remember to use the #TolunaWins hashtag as the title, and set it as a
public post so we can find it. Please do not select the "Toluna" category
when posting. In addition, make sure there are no spaces within the
hashtag.
Here's a wonderful example from a member in New Zealand. We are so
happy to have contributed to your cruise!
J4564482k
I, recently, was very, very, fortunate to win the 1,000,000 Toluna
Millionaire Points.
Over the last couple of years, I had been saving hard for a cruise. I
had the fare saved and the cruise booked, but was saving for my
spending money.Thanks to Toluna, I didn't have to save very long,
because the prize amount they awarded me, was the right amount!
Thanks Toluna! Attached is a photo
of the cruise ship's swimming pool. It
was a fabulous cruise. Everyone
should take a cruise sometime. It's
fun!

AND THE
OSCAR
GOES TO...
Before the Academy Awards took place this month, we gave our
community members a chance to predict the Best Picture winner and
win 5000 points.
Out of 336 members in New Zealand who
voted on our poll, only 4% predicted that
the Oscar would be awarded to "Parasite".
If you haven't seen this film, we definitely
recommend it. If you have seen it, post a
review for the Toluna community - we'd
love to know your thoughts!
Here are the winners of the 5000 points,
selected at random from those who
predicted correctly:

OPINIONS FROM
THE CORONAVIRUS HAS
BEEN MAKING HEADLINES
AROUND THE WORLD, AND
THE SITUATION IS CHANGING
EVERY DAY.
We polled 449 members from New
Zealand when the virus started
spreading to countries outside China,
the country of origin. At the time, 67% of
respondents believed that
governments should take more
precautions to tackle to problem, while
another 15% fear a global pandemic.
MEGXIT (AND BREXIT) WAS
ALSO BIG NEWS RECENTLY.
IT'S POSSIBLE THAT HARRY
AND MEGHAN'S DECISION
DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM
THE ROYAL FAMILY MARKS THE
BEGINNING OF THE END OF
THE BRITISH MONARCHY. HOW
DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS?
42% of the 411 Kiwi members polled
would be sad to see the end of the royal
family and that the monarchy is an
important institution. On the other hand,
28% think it's about time and that the
royals serve no purpose. Another 22%
believe the monarchy will last forever.

THE COMMUNITY
SCIENTISTS RECENTLY
BROUGHT THE VOICE OF A
3,000 YEAR-OLD EGYPTIAN
MUMMY TO LIFE. WE WERE
CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW
OUR MEMBERS FEEL ABOUT
REPRODUCING THE VOICE OF
A LATE LOVED ONE.
Out of 364 Kiwi members, 28% would
like to hear the voice a loved one who
has passed away - even for a brief
moment. However, 34% think the dead
should be left alone.
FINLAND WILL BE GIVING NEW
FATHERS MORE PARENTAL
LEAVE, IN AN EFFORT TO
PROMOTE WELLBEING AND
GENDER EQUALITY. DO MEN
NEED THE SAME AMOUNT OF
PARENTAL LEAVE AS WOMEN?
70% of Australian members believe they
do, and that fathers should have a chance
to spend more time with their children. On
the other hand, 11% don't think men need
as much leave, as they don't need to
recover from childbirth.
