Overtake, a Web3 game publishing platform, has dropped its biggest event yet: GameFest. This multi-phase Play-to-Airdrop campaign lets players earn a chunk of the $OVT token supply by completing tasks, playing games, and entering exclusive launchpools.

In this post, we go into the details of GameFest, including the rewards, launchpools, gameplay and what sets Overtake apart in the Web3 gaming space.

GameFest Airdrop Campaign

GameFest is Overtake’s biggest airdrop campaign yet, with 85 million $OVT tokens up for grabs. The rewards are split across four launchpools:

1. Overtake Platform Launchpool: Engages users with a variety of platform-based tasks.
2. Golden Guardians (GG) Launchpool: A PVE survival mini-game on Telegram, launching November 14.
3. Somnis Launchpool: Tied to the real-time strategy mobile game Somnis.
4. The Red One (TRO) Launchpool: A competitive FPS arena featuring PvPvE (player-versus-player-versus-environment) combat.

Throughout GameFest, players can earn Achievement Points (AP) by completing tasks and playing games, such as converting $GG tokens into AP. The AP accumulated determines player ranking on global and seasonal leaderboards, and higher ranks earn more $OVT rewards.

How to Participate: Get Your POP Badge

The first step to joining GameFest is to claim your GameFest Proof of Participation (POP) badge. This badge not only proves you were an early bird in the campaign but also validates your account for airdrop. It helps to minimize bot interference.

Once you have your POP badge, you can log in with an IMX wallet or any other compatible wallet and start completing platform tasks and earning rewards.

As you play, you will earn AP through various in-game actions, including converting in-game tokens like $GG. The AP earned will move you up the dynamic leaderboard, and top performers will get their rewards during the Token Generation Event (TGE). The platform also has referral incentives where you can earn more AP by inviting friends to join and expand the community.

Golden Guardians: Action and Rewards on Telegram

Golden Guardians (GG) Survivor is the first game-specific launchpool of GameFest, launching November 14. This PVE survival mini-game is integrated exclusively into Telegram. In GG Survivor, you must survive waves of enemies to earn points, which can be converted into Achievement Points (AP) for leaderboard rewards.

The GG Launchpool has two leaderboards:

• Global Leaderboard: 1.5% of the total $OVT rewards are allocated based on the total AP earned by players.
• Seasonal Leaderboards: 3% of the $OVT allocation across three seasons. Each season is 3 weeks long, and the metrics to rank can vary (kill count, survival time, etc).

This dual leaderboard system encourages both competitive and ongoing participation and gives players multiple chances to earn rewards and climb the ranks.

Upcoming Launchpools: Somnis and The Red One (TRO)

After Golden Guardians, GameFest will have two more launchpools for two games: Somnis and The Red One (TRO).

• Somnis: This real-time strategy game is all about tactical battles and resource management. The Somnis Launchpool will reward players based on in-game performance and card collections so players can earn big $OVT rewards.
• The Red One (TRO): TRO is a high-intensity FPS arena with PvPvE combat, PVP and PVE combined. The TRO Launchpool will reward players based on skill and performance in competitive matches, unlike most FPS games.

Overtake Ecosystem

Overtake’s decentralized platform allows game developers to deploy their games easily and reach a large audience of gamers. One of the games is Somnis: Rumble Rush, a real-time strategy mobile game that had over 30,000 registrations in the first 3 weeks and has over 10,000 daily active users. The game has deck-building with NFTs and PVE/PVP modes to cater to a wide range of players.

Overtake’s Proof of Participation (POP) system is the backbone of the platform, giving players Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) that tie to their wallet and act as a record of their achievements. As of October 2024, over 800,000 POPs have been minted.

Also, the platform has NFT mechanics, where users can trade and upgrade in-game assets, and there are over 205,000 unique NFT holders.

Conclusion: GameFest is the gateway to Overtake’s growth

Overall, GameFest represents a key milestone for Overtake, combining airdrop rewards with a variety of gameplay for Web3 users and traditional gamers. The event has NFTs, Soulbound Tokens and referral incentives to build an interactive ecosystem.

As the event goes on, new games will be launched, and new features and new rewards will be added. Whether you play Golden Guardians, strategize in Somnis or compete in TRO, GameFest is the introduction to the Overtake platform and how decentralized gaming works.
