Pixels, a leading web3 game by daily active players, has introduced Guild Crop Wars, an event where guilds compete to cultivate cave mushrooms for a share of $85,000 USD in $PIXEL prizes. This event, running from August 2nd to August 5th, is the first to feature both guild teamwork and sabotage, requiring players to strategize and collaborate within their guilds. Exclusive to Pixels Guild members, Guild Crop Wars aims to enhance cooperative and competitive gameplay.

More About Pixels

Pixels, inspired by Stardew Valley and Runescape, is a blockchain-based farming MMO where players can farm, gather resources, and customize their virtual plots. The game is free to play on PC browsers and operates on the Ronin Network, blending the charm of classic farming games with the innovative capabilities of blockchain technology.

Since its migration from Polygon to Ronin, Pixels has experienced significant growth (notably in SEA and the Philipines - similar to Axie Infinity). The Farm Land NFT sold out in just 21 seconds in January 2022. By November 2023, Pixels surpassed 100,000 daily active wallets (DAW) and continues to expand, boasting over 5 million players worldwide. Earlier this year, Pixels conducted its second Play-to-Airdop campaign, further increasing its popularity.

What is Guild Crop Wars?

Guild Crop Wars is the first event in Pixels to feature guild teamwork-style gameplay and sabotage, requiring players to strategize and collaborate within their guilds. Participants will plant spores, water crops, fertilize, and harvest mushrooms. Additionally, they can purchase goo to use offensively against opponents. Fertilizers can speed up mushroom growth, while water can maintain crop growth and protect crops after sabotage.

The Transmushtation Chute

The main goal is to deposit mushrooms into the "Transmushtation Chute" to earn Mushroom Points. Players can sabotage opponents, achieve milestones, climb the leaderboards, and gain $PIXEL rewards. The event includes milestones based on various activities, such as using the most goo on other guild crops, earning the most guano points, and accumulating the most spores points.

Each activity has a specific point value tracked on in-game leaderboards. Guild Crop Wars begins on Friday, August 2nd at 9:00 AM PT and ends on Monday, August 5th at 9:00 AM PT. Please note that the event is only available to Pixels Guild members, and players need to be pledged to a Guild to participate.

Importance of Guilds in Chapter 2

In Chapter 2, guilds will become increasingly important in Pixels gameplay, offering various rewards such as maximizing resource production, achieving gameplay goals, and increasing earning potential. Currently, there are 1,768 active Pixels guilds. Luke Barwikowski, founder and CEO of Pixels, stated: 

“When we introduced Pixels Guilds in March of this year, the purpose was to help us implement more social dynamics and play, with Guilds becoming an important part of the core gameplay experience. We are excited to introduce Guild Crop Wars as one way to bring more engagement and fun to our community and we plan to use the insights gained from this event to inform future LiveOps events.”
