Notcoin announced on Thursday that it will cooperate with the NFT project "Lost Dogs" on TON to launch a new game "Lost Dogs: The Way". Players who participate in the game will have the opportunity to receive NOT tokens and in-game tokens WOOF.
Notcoin, the Telegram click-to-earn-coin game that has been popular since its launch in early January this year, announced at the end of June that it would embark on a new journey, hinting that it would cooperate with the NFT project Lost Dogs on TON.
Just this Thursday (1), Notcoin and Lost Dogsâ cooperation came as planned. Notcoin officials forwarded the Lost Dogs announcement on the social platform X and wrote:
The new story officially begins.
Notcoin launches new game "Lost Dogs: The Way"
According to official introduction, the cooperation between Notcoin and Lost Dogs is to launch a new Telegram interactive story game "Lost Dogs: The Way". This game has a completely different game style from Notcoin. It is based on the theme of lost dogs and is open for a limited time of six weeks (42 days).
In this game, players need to cooperate and strategize to invite new players to join and vote on the actions of the dogs, ultimately finding them new homes.
It is worth noting that this time players can not only win NOT token rewards by participating in the game, but also get additional in-game tokens WOOF. Foreign media reported that this may be related to the future issuance of the game's tokens.
Introduction to the gameplay and rules of Lost Dogs: The Way
How to play tutorial
1. Click on the Lost Dogs: The Way game link to start the game.
2. Users who enter the game for the first time need to read the game instructions in full, and will receive 10 WOOF tokens after reading them.
3. Invite other players to play through the invitation link to earn BONES game points (not directly related to earning $NOT or $WOOF).
Rules Introduction
1. Each turn, players can choose one of three cards.
2. Players need to guess which card will win at the end of the round. Among them:
Least popular card = card with the least BONES collected
Most popular card = the card with the most BONES collected
Moderately popular card = a card that has an intermediate number of BONES collected compared to the other two cards.
3. Each player decides how to choose cards based on the goal of the round. The official recommendation is to actively communicate with other participants to guess the choice that the majority or minority prefer.
4. When players choose cards, they need to bet BONES on the cards. Since some players may have a large number of BONES, the most popular cards may be selected by a small number of players.
5. When the round ends, the result calculation phase will begin. After the calculation is completed, the player will see the result screen, which will show the cards that have achieved the goal, as well as the distribution of the player's choices and the rewards the player received at the end of the round ($NOT and $WOOF).
6. After a new round begins, all players will get new BONES to participate in the game.
How to obtain NOT tokens and WOOF tokens
For players participating in the game, how to obtain tokens and get more tokens may be the most concerned issue. Therefore, the author summarizes this issue as follows:
1. Get NOT tokens: In each game round, you can get them by selecting the correct card. If the player has used $NOT to redeem BONES points during the round, he will also receive more $NOT allocation if he picks the correct card at the end of the round.
2. Get WOOF Tokens: Players can accumulate $WOOF for almost all actions in the game, such as: first login of the day, card selection, card win or lose, exchanging $NOT for BONES, or completing tasks in the game.
3. Get extra WOOF tokens:
WOOF Booster: Accumulate WOOF Booster by logging in daily. If you miss a day, the Booster multiplier will return to the initial value of 1x.
Designated in-game tasks: first login to the game, first bet card with BONES, linking TON wallet, Lost Dogs NFT holder, exchanging $NOT for BONES points, visiting multiple game function pages, joining Sqauds (squad), etc.
Telegram Star Double Opportunity: On the BONES page, you will see the "x2 $WOOF for the win" option, which requires payment in US dollars. After purchasing this opportunity, if the card selected by the player wins, he will receive 2 times the $WOOF, and if he fails, he will not receive any $WOOF reward.
Alliance Rewards: The higher the alliance level, the more $WOOF players will receive when performing actions in the game.
Squad Rewards: If a squad player chooses a winning card, and more than 50% of squad members (at least 20 people voted) choose the same card in that round, each member will receive an additional $WOOF reward.
We know that Notcoin is just a meme coin after all, and it has no practical functions. Its anonymous founder Sasha also pointed out in an interview in June that he did not think that this model of earning in-game currency by clicking a button for free was sustainable:
I donât think itâs going to last forever, I donât think itâs going to have any sustainability.
In my opinion, only games with sustainable models will survive.
From this perspective, "Lost Dogs: The Way" has indeed achieved innovation again. However, it should be noted that although the gameplay of "Lost Dogs: The Way" is more novel than Notcoin, its game mode is also more complex. Whether it can continue to attract users and replicate the success of Notcoin in the future remains to be verified by time.
