Dookey Dash: BAYC's mint game
If you've been following Bored Ape Yacht Club's latest story-based project, you'll know that pesky monkey Jimmy has summoned an interdimensional chest by taking a truly impressive poop.
Then he accidentally swallowed its key and passed out inside a locked bathroom.
If you haven't been following the story so far ...I'm not crazy, I swear.
Now, the Apes need to swim through the Yacht Club sewer to retrieve the key – in a game of Dookey Dash!
What's Dookey Dash?
It's a Temple Run-style platform runner game
Players pick up "space-time fragments" and dodge a bunch of shit (literally)
The longer you last & more fragments you get, the higher your score
In-game power ups will cost 2 $APE
There'll be "score bonuses" for players with BAYC assets in their wallets
BAYC and MAYC holders can mint a Sewer Pass NFT ticket from Jan 17 to start playing.
They can also sell/gift their passes to non-yacht club members.
When Dookey Dash ends on Feb 8, the leaderboard will translate into mint priority at an event called "The Summoning." 🧙♂️
At The Summoning, the highest score will get the key to the chest, while other ranked players can swap their sewer pass for a narrative-themed NFT.
Yuga Labs says those NFTs will form the basis of the next project stage and will evolve as the story progresses.
Whatever you reveal, keep it close. They’re meant to evolve throughout 2023, so keep an eye out.

At some point, you'll be able to combine your new NFT with a Bored Ape Kennel Club pup to produce something new...
Our 1 cynical question:
Just how much of a "score bonus" are Ape-holders going to get? 🧐
BAYC says a video explainer for the game and mint is on its way. Also, there's a pretty extensive FAQ on Yuga's website if you want to learn more.

We need to talk about the Game of Thrones NFTs
This week, Warner Bros. partnered with design firm Daz 3D to launch the much-awaited Game of Thrones: Build your Realm NFT collection.
Despite being an official collection, however, don't expect to get one of your favorite characters in non-fungible form.
These avatars are mostly random-ass dudes with vaguely GoT-ish outfits.
(Don't worry, though, each NFT comes with a story card and resources to help you build "your own unique realm.") Sure, buddy.
Seriously, we need to talk to whoever did the designs
Because... well, look at them.
This Game of Thrones NFT collection is just like the the last season of the show.
No creative vision and terrible

Geez. We'll hand over to crypto Twitter for the full artwork critique.
Just checked, it's canon

I feel like they maybe don't like the artwork?
Also, we want to talk to the mf-ers who bought out the entire collection in 7 hours
Guys, come on. I know you like Game of Thrones, but did you really need to spend over half a million dollars on these NFTs?
Demand was so high, that Nifty had to pause the sale to work out technical difficulties.
Update on Build Your Realm Public Sale:
We've paused the queue temporarily to work through current transactions. Processed payments that did not result in NFTs appearing in your wallet will be reversed or refunded.
If any Hero Boxes remain, we'll resume the sale shortly.

This led to hours-long delays – and to add insult to injury – the floor price dropping before some holders even received their NFTs. 🤦♂️
So what have we learned?
If you launch a shitty NFT collection for a popular franchise, degens will buy it – then the floor price will drop.
Who we kidding. Learning is for losers and low-risk investors.
Til tomorrow! 👋

Great Scott!
