Crypto: The Game Reunion Show: A Live Panel With Its Founder and Players

me well I like the financial element so if I can come in and out I I don't I don't think I can spend another like that many hours yeah I hear that uh I think so I have a yeah Natasha what what's your gameplay strategy going to be season two versus season one okay well we are doing a podcast after the show yes in the style of Andy Cohen which nobody in this audience will get that reference but a boss a Bravo Style after the show every night for 10 days so I think I'm gonna get voted off pretty quick but it's For the Love of the Game um so my strategy is just going to be play hard play the opposite of how I played last time and just go all out from the beginning I'm here to win if you want to win with me come along and then we'll turn on each other at the very end that's the only way I don't think anyone here can win the game that's so one thing I'll say is that uh we we recently air dropped like season one nfts to all the season one players and they'll all have Early Access to Mint for season 2 so I don't know if it'll sell out but this this uniquely went viral kind of like after entry is locked so I think there is a decent amount of fomo for season 2 so hypothetically you could mure nft Early Access entries sell out and then flip it it's I really like the having slots playing the game uh that you can move around that's that's super cool idea one thing I want to say about the like crypto component of it that I think a lot of people who are so deep in crypto forget is so the way that you accessed your profile is you signed in with your wallet and so we're all used to that we do that behavior all the time but when you're in these challenges where you're really bad at some of the things like Floppy Bird my co-founder Dina we were doing an offsite got absolutely nothing done but we were playing C to the game all day and she was so bad at floppy the bird like data came out later where she played the most and got the worst score like horrible at it and she was like hopping on calls with these guys on her team who were like come on like you got we're going to vote you out and she was like I'll do anything and then she was like I know it's like horrible Sops but like what if I gave you my keys and one of you played and they were all like what and she was like never mind never mind but like that is like uniquely crypto where like you can't give someone your password and like be like I'll just give you like even if you have two Factor on like there's not a way a mechanism that you can sort of cheat in that way you could SP up a new wallet and whatever but like people are so precious about their private Keys as they should be and so I think that that is like something that people forget when they're like I wish there was more onchain I'm like this game could not have existed in the way that it did and the type of interaction that you had with having to be like quotequote honest about your play and so that's one thing that I just wanted to include also the cool thing with this the nft as the player you can actually have a team of a 100 people sending the nft around all playing as a team behind a one nft right I guess yeah like you're really good at Feb bird send you the nft you send it then you do it you yeah sure I mean you would have to trust I guess that they would send it back to you but uh something that I think we probably didn't do a good job of with season one was like embracing these sort of like uh mechanics or strategies that are very like native to the spirit of crypto like we um someone tried signing up for season one with a couple hundred Bots and wearing my like web 2 HQ hat like Bots are bad and let's eliminate all of them um but uh we got a decent amount of push back there that like oh no Bots versus humans like could be really fun and like can only happen in crypto so like let's bring it on for season two well I have a question also about like scaling the audience and like you made this point early on that like you didn't want to have too many barriers to entry so you know like made it pretty accessible for people who don't necessarily feel comfortable in the web 3 space yet uh what's the goal here to get as many people on boarded as possible just like have a really eclectic wide group not NE necessarily I think uh you know we probably could like cash out open the floodgates uncap season 2 but I think that would be a really bad player experience to have tens of thousands of people playing and thousands of people on your tribe and you're just randomly picking people so we're definitely going to cap it uh you know not not the exact amount for season one but like definitely not going to open it up to everyone uh I think the way that the scales is similar to like a FanDuel or a DraftKings model where like people and communities have the ability to like spin up their own versions of the game you can do a whale only game with a very High Buy in you could do a a free to playay game that's fully funded and sponsored by a brand there's different games happening all the time um but for now it's just these kind of like seasonal spectacle Seasons with like a CA number of players uh logos what's your what are your thoughts on the season two I mean hey I'm I'm all here for it I know the first thing I'm doing season two if I make it the finale again I'm calling Natasha to have better marketing help for myself I that's my first I'm locked in on that to you know better Market myself for Jerry management but on a real talk I'm like super grateful these guys for making such an awesome game like it was a great time and you know I've made so many friends like Nick right here we were day one trates Josh we were Day One Tribe mates and like I know I want to be like friend with them for a while you know and uh there's things that happened to the game like I never thought like the final immunity challenge like I never would have thought I could solve these crypto riddles like just kind of all clicked in the right way at the right time and like you know I just had a great time and a great experience so there's no shot I'm passing up season 2 it's going to get even better and I I got to win this is my like Revenge Arc you know got a win now so maybe we'll do like a uh like an Allstar season that would that would be great that would be great I do have a question is there going to be a referral immunity component for sure okay great yeah and for those of you that don't know so one of the main things we took from HQ was uh at HQ you could refer people and get an extra life for the reason that this I think went so viral in the beginning was players were incent device to refer others the game for individual immunity so that that Viral loop I think will always be here nice Okay who wants to give me a final word here we've got 10 seconds left I'd like to pitch in on something that Dylan said um I think if you if you run a massive whether it's an nft or web3 Community or otherwise and you want to do something for people who are holding and engaging your community I don't think there's a better way to sort of foster Community than running something like crypto the game so I think I tweeted about this but if you run a collection and you run it there's no way that I'm going to not do everything in my power to to sort of be a part of your community and I think there's a lot of other people that feel the same way so I just want to gas them up a little bit and say that you know I think it's an excellent idea and I'm hoping that communities I'm a part of run their game in the future uh thank you so much to everyone who's here right now and and a part of this conversation to the panelists uh and to e ever for putting this on such a pleasure talking about crypto the game thank you I'll have to tweet the trailer thank you so much that's it for the coral stage for today but
