Introduction

In April 2024, Game7 unveiled the beta launch of the Game7 portal. This introduction marked the launch of an innovative player engagement experience that unites the top web3 gaming communities.

The first campaign on the portal is called Dungeons & Degens — Inspired by the immersive experience of Dungeons & Dragons, Dungeons & Degens empowers players to explore new horizons and claim their place in the games they love. Backed by the collaborative efforts of Sorare, Gunzilla Games, Star Atlas, Sipher, Mighty Action Heroes and many others, we invite players to delve into the intricacies of clearing  "dungeons," representing unique questlines centered around each participating game.

In June, Game7 is releasing a novel product called LootDrops for gaming communities to initiate extended rewards programs and engage users like never before.

While dungeons created in the Dungeons & Degens campaign will remain accessible for an extended period, allowing completion at any time by anyone, LootDrops will have a defined timeframe, feature substantial reward pools, and distribute rewards weighted on user reputation and engagement during the specific activation period.

Game7 and Mantle are teaming up to launch a two-phase campaign aimed at strengthening support for the Mantle gaming community. The first phase will include 5 new dungeons for games on Mantle Network. Phase II will leverage the novel LootDrop product for a first-of-its-kind growth and retention campaign with a user reward pool of up to 2M $MNT involving a few additional games from Mantle Ecosystem in addition to the first 5.

One of Mantle's objectives is to support promising gaming projects and developers, with the aim of achieving widespread adoption of web3 games. Game7, known for hosting one of the most vibrant web3 gaming communities, aligns perfectly with this mission, making their partnership a natural fit.

FAQ

Tell us more about the first phase of the campaign.

The Mantle team introduced Game7 to 5 top Mantle games — MetaCene, Catizen, Party Icons, Atman and Uldor. During this first phase of the campaign, a dungeon will be created for each game featuring several quests similar to those of existing D&D partners on the platform. The games will be identified using the Mantle dropdown filter on the portal.

Are users rewarded with $MNT for their interactions in the first phase?

No, however users will still be eligible to receive a reward in $DEGEN once the total users on the Game7 platform reach 25,000. Furthermore clearing each dungeon unlocks a special custom NFT.

Why should users participate in Phase 1?

This will increase their multiplier which will improve their chances of receiving special LootDrop boxes with more substantial prizes.

Tell us more about the second phase of the campaign.

The second phase of the campaign is the Mantle Lootdrop, a several-week-long endeavor featuring new quests from the initial five partners as well as additional quests from a few more games whose names are yet to be confirmed. Each game will be featured during one of the weeks of the LootDrop. User engagement during the Mantle Lootdrop campaign will be rewarded with $MNT. For more updates on the campaign launch, follow the official Twitter accounts of Game7 and Mantle.

Are users rewarded for their interactions in the Mantle Lootdrop?

Yes, at the conclusion of the Mantle Lootdrop campaign, we will distribute up to 2M $MNT to participating users based on their level of engagement over the 5-week period. While all participating users will receive a base reward amount of $MNT, many lucky ones will receive special LootDrop Boxes that contain more substantial $MNT prizes.

How long will the weekly Mantle Lootdrop campaign quests remain open?

Each weekly challenge, once launched, will remain accessible throughout the duration of the campaign. At the end of the 5 week campaign however, all LootDrop quests will close. Phase 1 quests will remain open however.

Are there any additional rewards users receive for participating?

We're transforming communities into MMORPGs by integrating reputation and experience points as an additional layer of engagement. Increased reputation and experience points will enhance the value users derive from the Game7 portal.

Moreover, in Phase 1, users will have the opportunity to claim Mantle game-themed items upon successfully clearing the corresponding dungeons. Additionally, during the Mantle LootDrop campaign, users can collect Mantle-themed items. Completing all weekly challenges will enable users to assemble a full wearable NFT suit for the Game7 avatar.

How is this different from other questing platforms?

The Game7 portal is not a questing platform, it is an engagement experience.

We see a huge problem in the space right now: it’s difficult to onboard users AND keep them engaged in a sustainable way. There are a ton of airdrop campaigns with no plans to retain users beyond the financial incentives.

The Game7 portal offers a gamified UA, player engagement, and player retention primitive inspired by the most popular MMORPG mechanics, which includes progression systems, equipable items, crafting and player reputation. We are making this platform as fun as possible for players.

Questing is simply a model that encapsulates the vast majority of user interactions so we utilize it as a model rather than a goal. The depth of the user experience comes first.

We believe in a world where those who put in the most effort, rather than those who put in the most money, should be rewarded and this basic primitive should be the foundation of everything we build. By creating a platform that allows members to continually build their reputation, this allows for continually evolving sybil resistance, and ensures that those with the highest level and thus the highest access and opportunity, are those who are continually engaged and contributing in a meaningful way.

Game7 portal is significantly better than other current solutions because it allows for interested users to engage in an extended activation by participating games both through in-game play and community engagement activities. Players will experience what the game has to offer, participate in their community, provide valuable feedback, and generally help to shape and improve the game in a positive way.

Does this cost money? Do I need to mint NFTs to participate in this campaign?

In order to complete quests each player needs to mint the Game7 avatar however Game7 has committed to sponsoring tx’s for the first 100k users of the platform allowing them to participate without paying anything.

For the Mantle Lootdrop campaign an additional requirement will be to mint the Mantle SBT token.

How do I participate?

In order to participate you simply need to go to app.game7.io and mint your soulbound token which serves as your identity within our Nation. This will provide you with access to the full suite of Game7 tools and opportunities including the Mantle Phase 1 and LootDrop campaigns.

Does it matter what level I am within Game7?

Definitely! We are building a meritocratic nation and want to ensure that those who contribute most have the most access and opportunity because they’ve earned it! Level is an indicator of how much a Citizen has contributed. We try to offer numerous ways for Citizens to level up, so head to the portal and explore. Completing quests, being active on Discord/Twitter/Farcaster, voting on proposals, participating in discussions, completing bounties etc. can all help you level up, so choose your own journey!
