April Fools' Event Rewards Every Valid Entry With Diamonds

Pixel Heroes Adventure is marking April Fools' Day with a community screenshot event that distributes a flat 30,000 Diamond reward to every player who meets the entry requirements. Unlike competitive events with tiered prize pools, the Paint Snap format guarantees the same reward to all valid participants rather than concentrating rewards among top performers.

The event opened on April 1 immediately following the official announcement and closes on April 8 at 10:30 AM UTC+9. Diamonds are a core in-game currency used throughout Pixel Heroes Adventure for progression, upgrades, and various game systems, making the flat reward directly applicable to active players regardless of where they are in their character development.

How to Participate

Entry requires three steps. First, players must take an in-game screenshot that includes the April Fools' NPC, their own character, and their character nickname visible in frame. Second, the screenshot must be posted publicly on X with the required hashtags #AprilFoolsPaintSnap and #PHA, with post visibility set to public. Third, players must submit their entry through the official submission form linked in the announcement.

The event is limited to one entry per X account and one entry per game account. Entries must satisfy both the posting and form submission requirements to be considered valid. Rewards will be distributed sequentially once the event period closes on April 8.

About Pixel Heroes Adventure

Pixel Heroes Adventure is a retro-style MMORPG that blends pixelated aesthetics with modern web3 mechanics. The game was originally known as Meta Toy City before undergoing a full rebrand in May 2024. It runs on the Ronin Network and is available on both Android and iOS, making it one of the more accessible onchain MMORPGs in the current web3 gaming landscape.

Players explore a fantasy world built around boss battles, dungeon runs, loot collection, and character progression across multiple systems. The game's dual-token economy uses $ADVTR and MGOLD as its primary tokens, with Diamonds functioning as the central soft currency for daily gameplay activities. Additional systems include a Task Board for earning PlayPoints and Keys, the Dark Summoning System for upgrading hero rarity, and seasonal events like the current April Fools' activation.

The game was developed by Z5 Games, founded by Kim Kang-soo, a producer previously behind the web2 mobile title Dragon Village. In September 2025, South Korean publicly traded game company Nexus acquired Z5 Games. As part of the deal, Kim joined Nexus to lead tokenomics design across the company's game portfolio, which also includes the upcoming web3 RPG R.O.H.A.N.2.

Play-to-Mint, Airdrop, and NFT Systems

Pixel Heroes Adventure operates several reward campaigns beyond standard in-game earnings. Play-to-Mint campaigns allow players to unlock NFT items through gameplay activity, while Play-to-Airdrop programs distribute token rewards tied to participation metrics. These systems are designed to bring onchain ownership into the daily loop without requiring separate marketplace or wallet activity outside the game itself.

NFT-based characters called Primal HeroZ and Elite Primal HeroZ sit at the top of the game's hero tier system. The Dark Summoning System allows players to sacrifice lower-tier Primal HeroZ to attempt the summoning of Elite variants, creating a consumption and upgrade loop tied directly to NFT assets. A $MGT Withdrawal Coupon system also provides loyal long-term players with additional incentives to redeem earned tokens.

Community engagement events like the April Fools' Paint Snap sit within a broader content calendar that has included Lunar New Year celebrations, seasonal PVP previews, and ongoing task board updates. The event structure reflects a growing pattern across Ronin-based games of using social media participation as a direct entry mechanic for reward distribution, giving players a low-barrier path to earning in-game currency without additional spending.

The Paint Snap event runs through April 8 at 10:30 AM UTC+9. Entry submissions require both an X post with the required hashtags and completion of the official form linked by the team.
