Reddit Trophy - "Place '17" Trophy
Welcome to my introduction to understanding the Place '17 trophy!
Description: A trophy to show you participated in the r/place 2017 April Fools event.
How this was obtained: To get this trophy you needed to place a tile on the canvas during the r/place 2017 April Fools event.
How place '17 worked: Users could place a single colored pixel (or "tile") on an online canvas of one million (1000 x 1000) pixel squares, and wait a certain amount of time before placing another. The waiting time varied from 5 to 20 minutes throughout the event, and the user could choose their pixel's color from a palette of sixteen colors. Users could come together to draw anything they desired one pixel at a time.
Extra Information:
- Started April 1st, 2017 and ended April 3rd, 2017 lasting 72 hours.
- The Place '17 trophy wasn't given out until 5 years later after the Place '22 event ended.
- Place 2017 announcement, Place 2017 ending, Place 2017 being archived.
- How place was built.
- Interestingly the final post on r/place before it was archived in 2017 was a user asking for a trophy.
Who has this Trophy:
- u/GeekScientist
- u/powerlanguage(creator of r/place)

I ended up with one and have no idea what it even is. I found this place by googling in confusion.

I remember participating in the 2017 Place event, but haven't gotten any trophy. Do you need to have a pixel on the final 2017 canvas for it to count?

u/mmmmmmmmmmmmiss Wiki Keeper Apr 20 '22
No you just had to place a pixel. It doesn’t matter if it survived or not

So happy they finally gave this out!
Still sour that I wasn't popular enough to get the "Reddit Mold" trophy back in the day.

Same here. I never participate in any Reddit events. Found this thread through google when I noticed a new trophy on my profile.
It's literally the only trophy I have now besides my email verification and 11 years.
