What Are Horrocubes?
Horrocubes are essentially puzzle boxes that live in the Cardano blockchain.
Solve puzzles and earn rewards!
Players will be immersed in a story taking place in the H.P Lovecraft universe. Each time a puzzle is solved, the story advances. The ultimate goal is to unlock all chapters of the story and reach its conclusion.
As players solve puzzles, they will unlock the following rewards:
- Three out of twenty-two unique collectible cards. The cards are randomly selected when the Horrocube is minted. All cubes are guaranteed to have three distinct cards.
- Ten Horrocoins (This coins can be used to claim additional rewards).
- Trophy of completion (obtained when a player completes all ten challenges and solves the cube).
All the rewards, as well as the Horrocubes, are Alonzo-era NFTs.
Find Out MoreHow Does It work?
Horrocubes are powered by Plutus Smart Contracts.
The Horrocubes game runs 100%
on the Cardano blockchain.
All Horrocubes and the rewards are Alonzo-era NFTs; they are truly unique and can never be reminted. For each cube minted, a smart-contract instance is also created on the blockchain.
This contract holds the rewards and keeps track of the player's progress. Every puzzle solved awards the player with a Horrocoin, and every three puzzles unlock one of the cube's collectible cards. To unlock all three cards, the player must solve nine out of the ten puzzles. The final puzzle awards the player a trophy as proof of completion.
In a separate contract, there is a final global reward that can be claimed (only once) by the first player that completes all puzzles and take the story to its completion.
Rewards
All our NFTs are truly unique as they are created using a Plutus minting script that ties the token minting policy to a specific UTXO.
There are twenty-two unique card designs to be collected.
Every three puzzles, the player unlocks one of the cards inside the cube. Each cube contains 3 of the 22 possible collectible cards. Each card is also an NFT and can be traded freely after the player has unlocked it.
Additionally, every time a player solves a puzzle, he earns Horrocoins, these coins can then later be traded in for additional rewards.
Finally, the first player to solve all the challenges will claim the main reward. Stay tuned for more information.
What kind of puzzles will you find?
The puzzles will require the player to employ different techniques: steganography, cryptography, and lateral thinking.
Are you up to the challenge?
The puzzles increase in difficulty as the game progresses, some of the last puzzles are quite difficult. However, we expect every player to eventually solve all the puzzles. After all the puzzles are solved by at least one player; we will start releasing periodic clues in our Twitter account @Horrocubes.
