The Sandbox Announces Meme War Game Jam: 60,000 SAND Up for Grabs!

The Sandbox, a Voxel 3D metaverse, has announced an exciting new event called the Meme War Game Jam. This competition invites creators and artists to design meme-inspired gaming experiences for a share of 60,000 SAND. The Meme War Game Jam is part of a larger event series, "Rise of the Memecoins," which kicked off in July 2024. With that, the platform seeks to unite communities around meme coins like DOGE, SHIB, BONK, PEPE, and DEGEN.

A Celebration of Meme Culture

The Meme War Game Jam isn't just about creating games; it's a celebration of meme culture. Creators are encouraged to bring their favorite internet memes to life, transforming them into interactive experiences. The event is open to all, from seasoned game developers to newcomers using The Sandbox's free, no-code Game Maker.

Whether you're a fan of Pepe, Dogecoin, or any other meme coin, this is your chance to showcase your creativity.

How to Join the Meme War Game Jam

To get started, creators must register by August 14th. The event officially kicks off on August 14th with an AMA and theme reveal on Twitch, followed by a live workshop hosted by The Sandbox's Game Maker Specialist, Cyber Dragon. Registration closes on August 15th, and the deadline for submissions is September 3rd.

The Sandbox has made the entry process simple and accessible. Participants only need to create an account, download the Game Maker software, and start building their game. The Game Jam is online, so creators from around the world can join. 

For those who might need help, The Sandbox offers resources, weekly check-ins, and a supportive forum where creators can ask questions and connect with others.

Prize Breakdown

The Meme War Game Jam offers juicy prizes for the most creative and engaging entries. The reward pool includes 50,000 SAND, 20 LANDs, and exclusive Catalyst Packs, with extra rewards for early submissions and special meme coin bonuses.

Rise of the Memecoins Event

The top 10 Meme War entries will have the chance to be featured in the Rise of The Memecoins Live Event, which takes place after the Game Jam. The event will include a reward pool for The Sandbox players, further enhancing the competitive spirit.

Key Guidelines

To ensure fair play, The Sandbox has outlined a few notable rules. Creators must use the Game Maker version available on the kick-off day to build their games, and all entries must be created on or after the event's start date. The size of their experiences should not be larger than 1x1, and multiple entries are allowed, though the same team cannot place twice in the top 10.

To receive prizes, participants must complete KYC verification for the wallet provided in the submission form. They must also complete the Experience Page at least one week before the awards ceremony.

No doubt, the Meme War Game Jam marks a unique blend of culture, creativity, and competition. It's a chance for creators, artists, and meme lovers to bring their ideas to life in the metaverse.
