Get excited! The BlockGames App is just around the corner

It’s time to start flexing those fingers and thumbs and understand that your cell phone experience will never be the same again. That’s right, the wait is almost over. Our followers know that we’ve been working our way to bringing you the BlockGames App for well over a year. Well, now it’s almost here, and we’re primed to play and party! With over 100 mobile games from leading developers and publishers, the time for endless fun and instant rewards, with real value, is nearing touchdown.

Access to the App will be prioritized as follows:

1. BlockGames DICE owners.

2. Holders of early access codes from BlockGames collaborators.

3. Public access (date to be determined).

The BlockGames App release will take place in the following stages:

1. Internal testing (in finalization stages)

2. Upcoming exclusive testnet with eligible community members.

3. DICE owners with DICE multiplier and $BLOCK Airdrop accumulation.

4. BlockGames early access code owners, contingent on closed test results.

5. Full public access.

In addition, the 555 DICE held within the BlockGames Treasury will be redistributed to the community and collaboration partners through various activations.

I’ve got my access code…what next?

First of all, congratulations on being part of the first cohort able to step into our illustrious network of awesome gaming experiences — you truly are a BlockGames OG! Now that you’re equipped and ready to go, it’s time to be on standby for the green light.

Very soon, we’ll be posting instructions on our socials, so pop in for daily updates on how we’re getting on with finalizing our testing and getting ready to launch.

Here’s a quick heads up on the things you need to know and basic expectations to participate in our testnet launch:

- Have an Android or iOS mobile device.

- Be proficient in English.

- Be expected to maintain regular communication with the product team to provide feedback on your user experience and report any bugs or issues encountered during App testing.

Fun and data sovereignty, wrapped in one

When you log into the Player Network and enter your details, some real magic begins to take place. Firstly, you’ve taken the first step in creating your unique Universal Player Profile (UPP). Powered by Web3 technology, this means you own your own data and receive direct value by sharing it, all whilst playing your favorite games. In a world where the new privacy policies imposed by the App Store and Google Play Store make personalization extremely difficult, BlockGames is building a new feature where players and publishers can exchange value without loss of access, to or abuse of, end-user data.

Put simply, if you decide to leave the BlockGames Player Network for any reason, you take your data with you and we can’t use it. Your UPP and the data tied to it are valuable and we recognize this. And that’s why, as you explore and play games and interact, we reward you handsomely and regularly for sharing it and allowing us to use it to optimize and personalize your gaming experiences. Even if you’re not the type of person who thinks much about what’s going on under the hood, we thought this would still be something you’d like to know.

Where to Start?

1. First, install the BlockGames app on your phone following the instructions after the Dice roll experience.

2. Login and Create your one and only Universal Player Profile.

3. Explore the app and find your favorite games.

4. Download the game through the BlockGames App (it will direct you to the app store).

5. Allow the app to track so that you can start building your Universal Player Profile (see below) and earn more rewards.

6. Activate the game. NOTE: if you download the game outside of the BlockGames app, or did not let it track your progress,  you will not earn any rewards.

7. Play your games and hit the milestones revealed in the app for that game to earn credits.

8. When you’ve accrued enough credits, convert them into tickets to apply for contests, or spend them in the Goodies store (Coming soon).

Now that you’ve logged in...

So now that you know about your UPP, and you’re inside the Player Network, it’s time to start running, hunting, shooting, blasting, leveling up, bashing bosses, and breaking stuff. Oh…and for when all of that gets a bit too much we have some great puzzle games to help you chill out.

So go ahead and activate your favorite games and remember…the more mayhem you cause, and the more puzzles you solve — and the more of doing whatever else it is you love doing in games — the more goals you reach and the more credits you earn. And it’s all about credits! Let’s talk about how games connect with credits.

How credits work

Credits are awarded for completing in-game tasks and challenges with everything viewable inside the app. Milestone challenges differ for each game but typically include reaching new levels, completing worlds, and beating bosses. At any time, you can view any credits you’ve accumulated in the ‘Vault’ tab.

Credits can be redeemed for tickets to enter contests, or exchanged for other goodies such as gift cards, digital collectibles, tokens, and cash. Challenges will vary from game to game, and goals must be reached within the designated time to win the credits. There is no limit to how many credits you can accumulate.

At any time, if you want to track your progress, and see how many credits and other loot you have, head to the BlockGames App where you can quickly view your accumulating assets.

Early access — coming soon!

We expect the BlockGames Player Network to enter a period of explosive growth. One of the key drivers for this growth will be our highly incentivized referral program. When this launches anyone with existing access will be rewarded with credits for inviting friends. And when those friends invite other friends, further credits are distributed to the primary invitee.

That’s all for now. We’ll be coming to you with more updates soon, but in the meantime, stay locked to the BlockGames Discord and X frequencies, and don’t miss a beat.
