First, What is 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.

Introducing the Barney’s Bazaarn Event

Barney’s Bazaarn Event is a new, individual-focused competition within Pixels. This upcoming event is expected to draw a large number of participants as they complete orders and accumulate points for rewards, all while competing for leaderboard positions.

Unlike guild events, which focus on group efforts, Barney’s Bazaarn is centered on individual performance. Players will be working solo in a dedicated area within the game known as Barney’s Bazaarn, fulfilling orders and aiming for top scores over a span of 4 to 5 days. The event is slated to launch during the week of September 2024, with the official start date yet to be confirmed.

Details on How to Participate in the Event

During the event, players will assume the role of employees at Barney’s Bazaarn, tasked with fulfilling orders placed by non-player characters (NPCs). These orders involve crafting and delivering various goods such as forestry or mining items. Each player is allotted three shifts per day, each lasting five minutes, during which they must fulfill as many orders as possible to earn points and tickets.

Although the actual order fulfillment happens during the shifts, players can craft goods outside of these periods, allowing for preparation and efficiency when shifts begin. High-tier goods yield more points, motivating players to aim for higher-quality crafting to increase their chances of winning.

Competitive Edge for VIPs and Landowners

VIP players and landowners within the Pixels receive certain advantages, such as access to additional counters, enabling them to fulfill more orders simultaneously and accumulate more points. Players can also purchase crafting boosts using the in-game currency, PIXEL, to expedite production and improve their performance.

Prize Pool, Rewards Over 60K, and Tips for Players

One of the main draws of Barney’s Bazaarn is the substantial prize pool, expected to total up to $60,000. The rewards range from land within Pixels to exclusive pets, both of which are considered highly desirable within the game’s ecosystem. Players will earn tickets during their shifts, which can be used in the event’s gacha system, a lottery-like mechanism offering these valuable prizes.

Additionally, competitive leaderboards will allow top-ranking players to earn extra rewards, further intensifying the competitive atmosphere. To excel in the Barney’s Bazaarn Event, preparation is key. Players are encouraged to craft goods between shifts, allowing them to focus solely on fulfilling orders during active gameplay. Crafting higher-tier goods is also crucial for maximizing points and ticket earnings.

For VIPs and landowners, effectively utilizing the extra counters will provide a significant advantage in handling a higher volume of orders. Additionally, a pre-event quest is expected to launch, providing players with an early opportunity to earn rewards and prepare for the main event.

New Telegram Game

Pixels’ New Telegram Game

To further engage its player base, Pixels is also preparing to launch a hyper-casual mini-game on Telegram. This game, featuring the character Barney on a racing tractor, offers small rewards and adds another layer of entertainment to the Pixels ecosystem.

Pixels is entering a thrilling period with the launch of the Barney’s Bazaarn Event, featuring a $60,000 prize pool, and a live-streamed virtual wedding. As players compete in crafting challenges and enjoy community-driven events, the Pixels continues to grow, offering both entertainment and engagement in equal measure. With new game updates and in-game events on the horizon, Pixels promises an exciting future for its players.
