Base Minesweeper

Base Minesweeper

The Base Minesweeper is a popular game that we use to onboard people of all ages on Base in a simple and enjoyable way and including regen/refi elements to ensure continued fun and lasting impact.

The problem Base Minesweeper solves

We address onboarding for users of all ages, from children to the elderly. People are familiar with the game and find it enjoyable. By adding tips that can be converted into money, we attract many individuals. Once they are within the ecosystem, they will discover numerous additional ways to participate.

What Can People Use Based Minesweeper For?
Onboarding to Blockchain Technology: Base Minesweeper introduces people to blockchain technology in a fun and accessible way, enhancing their digital literacy through engaging gameplay.

Rewards and Incentives: Players earn $KULL tips by progressing through the game, offering tangible rewards for their efforts. The incentives increase with each level, providing a progressively rewarding experience.

Access to Exclusive Collections: Each level grants access to a waitlist for purchasing exclusive /onchaincalaveras tokens and those who win at level 3 will also have a free mint. These tokens will be foundational for the next game in the Mexican Alebrijes universe, ensuring ongoing engagement.

Enhanced Community Engagement: Using Farcaster, the game leverages open social graphs and $KULL tips to encourage interaction. This fosters a sense of community and enhances the overall user experience.

How It Makes Existing Tasks Easier/Safer:

Simplified Onboarding Process: The game's straightforward mechanics make it easy for users of all ages to learn about blockchain technology interactively, making the onboarding process seamless and enjoyable.

Secure and Transparent Rewards System: Blockchain ensures that rewards are securely tracked and transparently distributed, reducing fraud and enhancing trust. All transactions are immutably recorded, guaranteeing the integrity of the reward system.

Encouraging Safe Digital Interactions: The game provides a controlled environment for safe interaction with blockchain, minimizing risks. It also educates users on navigating digital environments and managing digital assets safely.

Challenges we ran into

Our biggest obstacle was that we are a creative team without a developer. Throughout the month, we began with the idea, design, and steps of the game. However, during this process, several developers dropped out. They left for various reasons: some stopped participating in the buildathon, others were in different time zones, or they simply stopped responding and advancing the work.

We overcame this challenge by not giving up until the last minute. Finally, we received support from a developer friend who wanted to participate in the buildathon but had not found a team. With her help, we managed to resolve the issue at the last moment and present the basic version of the game. The idea is to continue developing it since it is linked to the NFT collection we will launch in July.

The good news is that we succeeded in presenting it.
