A new castle has appeared in Terra Villa, and with it comes one of the most creative web3 events. Pixels has officially launched a Rizz-to-Earn event (Dungeon & Love) in partnership with AiVeronica, and it's as wild as it sounds. It's part dating sim and part leaderboard race. The event runs until May 22, 5:00 UTC, and comes with $PIXEL rewards and possibly some $AIV airdrops.

What Is the Rizz-to-Earn Event?

In this new Pixels campaign, players can enter a castle owned by AiVeronica and talk to AI NPCs in a short, timed challenge. The goal is simple: charm your chosen character and reach a score of 80 or higher. Doing so earns you in-game items and brings you closer to the leaderboard rewards.

Inside the castle are six unique AI bachelors/bachelorettes: Diane, Avril, Sakura, Noa, Vyn, and Zane. Each one has their own style and way of speaking. Paying attention to what they say—and how you reply—is key to winning.

How to Take Part in the Challenge

To start, head to Terra Villa's central fountain and look for AiVeronica's castle. Inside, speak to Jeeves the Butler. He'll offer you a Ruby Key, which unlocks one of the castle's rooms. Each Ruby Key costs 100 $PIXEL and can be bought once per day in-game. You can also buy a whitelist ticket on aiveronica.ai, which will airdrop a Ruby Key to your wallet after 24 hours.

With your key, you'll pick a room and chat with one of the AI characters. You only get 10 minutes per try. If your score reaches 80 or more, you earn rewards like character portraits and special blanket items.

Players must wait 24 hours between key purchases—so whether you pass or fail, you’ll need to plan ahead and choose wisely.

Leaderboard and $PIXEL Rewards

The event comes with a global leaderboard for the first 500 players to hit the 80-point mark the fastest. These top players will earn a share of the event's $PIXEL prize pool:

  • Top 10 players get a 1% share each
  • Ranks 11–100 get 0.3% each
  • Ranks 101–500 earn 0.2% each

Top players may also receive a future $AIV airdrop, though exact amounts haven't been announced yet. The team has confirmed that the faster you hit the 80-point score, the higher your ranking will be.

Past Events: Pixels x Forgotten Runiverse

This isn't the first time Pixels has teamed up with another web3 project. Last week, Pixels launched a crossover event with Forgotten Runiverse, offering a 5 million $PIXEL prize pool. Players could trade the other game's currency, Quanta, for $PIXEL and unlock exclusive rewards like Pixels-themed mounts and outfits.

That event also introduced building upgrades, token staking, and even creator rewards—making it one of the most feature-rich crossovers on the Ronin network. 

What Is Pixels?

Pixels is a cozy browser-based web3 farming game. Players can farm, craft, build, and explore a shared world using NFT avatars and land. All of this is powered by the $PIXEL token, which replaced the older $BERRY token for better game balance.

The game now lives on the Ronin blockchain, known for low fees and high speed, making it a good fit for casual and social gaming. Players can own land, run industries, and use NFTs from popular collections like BAYC and Crypto Phunks as their in-game avatars.

What Is AiVeronica?

AiVeronica is the brainchild of Animoca Brands and Virtuals.io, calling itself the world's first AI game master. She brings AI-powered stories and real-time strategy to any game she enters. She can change the world, adjust the challenge, and even act as a streamer with smart commentary based on what's happening in-game.

AiVeronica works across different titles and genres. In Pixels, she adds a dating sim layer powered by smart characters that remember what you say and evolve based on how you interact. The event marks one of her biggest integrations yet.

As such, the Rizz-to-Earn event adds a fresh twist to Pixels' universe. With timed chats, real rewards, and AI-powered NPCs, it mixes charm and competition in a brand new way.

If you like cozy MMOs, AI storytelling, or just want to earn some extra $PIXEL, this event is worth a look. Head to Terra Villa before May 22 and see if you've got what it takes.
