Play well, do right. The hummingbird fingers of our modern generation flutter ceaselessly over web and mobile games. Fun, addictive, and every bit as engaging as mainstream games, the sector keeps growing.
Much of that time, though, is frittered away playing games that are designed to waste your time and empty your wallet. Web3 promises something different. A way for players to earn real-world value while playing their favorite games and, in the case of Impact Arcade, a way for them to change the real world.
The pioneering protocol makes it so the more you play, the more real-world impact you make. Whether it’s removing plastic from the oceans, carbon from the atmosphere, or landmines from a warzone - Impact Arcade facilitates these efforts through gameplay. It opens the possibility for guilt-free gaming, where players can sit on their couch enjoying their free time and still be having a real-world impact.
It starts with learning. Impact Arcade’s suite of games will all educate its users about a specific global challenge faced by civilization today. To start, games will focus on the scourge of plastic in our oceans, where entire islands of the waste have agglomerated, their shores littered with the dead and dying, fish choking on microplastic in the waters, their death-knell serenaded by the screams of gulls who watch overhead.
The debut game, Impactman, will help players tackle this menace. Players will gobble up ocean plastic and collect Impact Tickets that can be used to redeem prizes. Future games will involve stopping plastic reaching the rivers, gobbling it up from the seabed, and caring and nurturing their own real animal in a manner similar to Tamagotchi of old.
As players clock up new high scores, they win Impact Tickets that they can use to enter protocol-wide on-chain raffles or redeem for prizes. The structure mimics that of an old school arcade, where you take your tickets to the prize booth and a fairground. Except here, the prizes are big, both virtual and physical - from blue chip NFTs to sustainable products.
And that’s the tip of the hopefully-not melted-in-10-years iceberg. Prizes will be distributed far down the long-tail of players, but those who play the most will be in with the best chance to win. Even the losers will know that their entry as a result of playing the games has done real-world social good.
65% of all revenue Impact Arcade makes goes directly towards supporting the causes the games are about. The other 35% will go towards fueling the ecosystem that makes this possible, developing new games, and onboarding new players to help them make an impact too. Come for the games, stay for the cause - and the community - that builds up around them.
A World Class Team at the Forefront of Web3
Add to that a stellar list of individuals, all who have seen mainstream individual success, and it leads to a team that’s ready to bring about the change they have promised to do.
