CHW X Celebrity Collab

• Have to do with the celebrity (so territory dependent)

• Trade NFT Blueprint in Auction House or Mint NFT and burn Blueprint

• Minted NFT will be transferred to your OpenSea account

• Extension to how brands can interact in our CubieVerse

Pat Morita Cubie

• Pat Morita Cubie is NOT the same as the NFT Blueprint

• Anyone can hunt and get the Pat Morita resources and cubie blueprint

• All Green Vaults replaced with small Torii Gates

• Requires one Green Key to unlock Torii Gate

• Drops Pat Morita resources and low chance of cubie blueprint (epic chance)

First Celebrity NFT Event

• Pat Morita Event (Mr. Miyagi, from Karate Kid)

• Six unique NFT art pieces, 10 copies of each, are minted on OpenSea

• the NFT blueprints will be hidden in the game for you to find

• received from Pat Morita estate

• only drop in Coin Hunt World

• total 60 NFTs up for grabs

• need to look for Large Torii Gates, taller than a building, with a golden disk in the centre of the red gate

• placed in 6 locations significant to Pat Morita's life and accomplishments

• Developers will release hints to help community track down gates

• inside these 6 large gates are one of the six NFTs, 10 copies of each

• use 1 Red Key to unlock

• 100% drop rate of the Pat Morita Cubie Blueprint if you do not already have it, and you will receive the NFT Blueprint if you are among the first 10 players to unlock the gate!

• FIRST TEN PLAYERS ONLY

• hint: 5/6 are in California, 1/6 in Hawaii (this was later updated in the Medium article on the Pat Morita event to be: 4/6 in California, 1/6 in Hawaii, 1/6 in Wisconsin)

• because relevant to Pat Morita's life

• large Torii are local - you have to visit CA, WI, or HI to get the NFT, and you have to be among the first 10 players to any particular gate!

• small Torii are global, anyone has a chance of getting the Pat Morita Cubie BP and printing the Pat Morita Cubie

• Demonstration of another way for Intellectual Properties to interact with CHW

• component will be for Charity - a portion of all the keys you are using for little or big Torii will be donated to Shriner's Hospital, where Pat Morita spent a lot of time recovering from a childhood illness

• THIS IS A RACE

• You can only hit a Large Torii once

• You can hit small torii like Green Vaults (every 24 hours)

Christmas sneak peek

• Santa Cubie returning (common)

• Rudolph Cubie returning (rare)

• one new common BP: Elf Cubie

• one new epic BP: No information yet

• new Questline System for Christmas Event

Key system changes (some time next year)

• no more Keybooths
• Supercharged Mystery Boxes (everyone has similar base inflow of keys)
• new mechanics to earn additional keys each day:
  • Daily Quests
  • Achievements
  • player owned Structures

Player Owned Structures (some time next year)

• new construction system

• replaces current system

• existing Template:UserVaults will be phased out over time

• but they will exist in parallel for a long time

• the plot of land around your UV is YOUR LAND

• you will be the only one to build new Structures on this plot

• 50m range around your UV is your territory

New Player Structures (some time next year)

• Tag, Build, Operate
• Tag: hunters will tag the world around them
  • e.g. fountains, banks, bus stops, walking/cycling path, coffee shop
  • CHW will continuously release new tags
  • we get a database of tags
• Build: new type of BP called Construction Blueprints
  • each Construction BP has a list of compatible tags
  • each Construction BP has its own Construction Quests
  • CHW continuously releases new Construction BPs
  • THESE ARE BPS THAT CONSTRUCT THINGS. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME AS THE CONSTRUCTION CUBIE.
• Operate: all structures require a compatible Cubie to operate it
  • some structures require stocking resources (e.g. coffee beans for coffee shop, and you need to get stocked up, and maybe coffee beans only come from El Salvador)
  • all structures will earn keys for the owner

Example of Player Structures: Lucky Fountain

• Tag: You can only place <fountain> tags on real world fountains
• Build: purchase Lucky Fountain Blueprint
  • Find a fountain tag
  • claim the tag with the BP
  • complete the Construction Quest
  • assign a compatible cubie
• Operate: once active, all players can see the Lucky Fountain
  • they can throw a key in the fountain for 1 hour luck boost
  • percentage of keys thrown into fountain will go back to owner
  • means that everyone who has a UV on top of a fountain, will be able to build a lucky fountain on the 50m of land around their UV
  • there will be specific structures that can only be built by rural players, e.g. barn, field, farm
