Description
We’ll deliver tools to spread nounish treasure hunts worldwide, empowering people to create their own versions of the game. We’ll also make the 2nd edition of the event in Rio, but much bigger this time!
What we’ll deliver
The Playbook
We’ll deliver a full guide on how to make a nounish treasure hunt. It will come both as video tutorials and as an e-book illustrated by ilustradora.eth.
We’ll put together all we’ve learned making the first edition and our previous knowledge on game creation into the material to help any community around the globe to cut steps in the process of making their own nounish treasure hunt. A little bit of what we’ll teach in The Playbook:
-
Game mechanics
-
Principles of playability
-
Budget and schedule
-
How to pick the perfect spot
-
How to advertise the game
-
How to deal with big groups
-
How to use the provided assets
and more!
treasurehunt.wtf (website under construction at the moment)
Here you’ll find The Playbook to read, watch and download. We’ll also provide all the assets that you’ll need to make your own game, such as posters, map templates, budget spreadsheets, social media templates and more. This platform will be the home of every treasure hunt builder!
2nd Edition - What’s New?
Bigger & Better
We’ll make an event for 100+ people with even better prizes and more merch! People knew about the first hunt only through word of mouth, this time we’ll pay for ads to reach an even broader audience.
We also had the help of several people that completely bought the idea and worked for less than they should to make it happen, this time we want to double the staff and pay their fair share.
Web 3 Onboarding
In the first edition, we really wished we could teach everyone how to create and use a crypto wallet and give all the prizes in ETH but we didn’t have enough staff. Now we’ll have 2 people dedicated to onboarding all the participants to Web 3.
First-aid Center
Even though we didn’t have any problems, for this bigger version, we want to make sure that if any emergency occurs we’ll be prepared. We’ll have a first-aid center and an ambulance all day long with us. Safety first!
Video production
We’ll take the video content to another level with one more camera crew to follow multiple participants simultaneously. The idea is to use the bigger version of the event to produce a mini-doc (~6’) following the whole day of the game, from putting up the posters to the post-game meeting at the bar.
Objectives
Our main goal with this ambitious project is to merge Web 2 and 3 in a fun and engaging IRL event. In the first edition, we noticed that people who already are familiar with Web 3 loved to meet each other IRL and play together. On the other hand, people who never heard about blockchain or NFTs loved to learn more about this whole new world of possibilities.
Roadmap
The whole project will take three months to be delivered. In the first two, we’ll produce The Playbook and treasurehunt.wtf simultaneously. The game itself will take place at the end of the third month, which will be fully dedicated to making it happen.
Future
We are totally committed to keeping spreading the treasure hunt culture worldwide. This event brings people to the ecosystem and we saw firsthand how involved the participants got in the first edition. The next steps, if supported by the community, will be to further develop the following:
The app
An app fully dedicated to nounish treasure hunts, which will allow Nouns to be found by QR code scanning. It’ll make the counting of the Nouns found by the participants easier and also help the game makers to create rankings, raffle prizes and more.
treasurehunt.wtf (website under construction at the moment)
If the website proves to be a useful tool for the community we’ll make it a showcase for all game makers. They will have a place to upload media and share their treasure hunts. It’ll also be integrated with the app, so it’ll have a global ranking and statistics about the events.
Global treasure hunt
Once treasure hunts are a staple of the Nouniverse IRL, we can gather all creators and have the biggest hunt of all, an event with hunts all over the globe happening on the same day, with a worldwide scoreboard where everyone will be part of a team joining forces with members across all countries.
