🗝Today we’re introducing a new game from Yuga Labs, the studio behind the famous Bored Ape BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club) NFT series - Dookey Dash.

Dookey Dash is a skill-based escape game where players need to enter a sewer filled with garbage and flooded with powerful cosmic debris. After the user enters the sewer, he needs to dodge and break through obstacles while picking up debris. The longer the user survives and the more debris he picks up, the higher the score and the richer the reward.

Team Information

As cryptocurrencies began to surge in late 2010, interest in Ethereum grew, inspiring Aronow and Solano to create a blockchain-based project together. They recruited Solano’s college friends Kerem Atalay and Zeshan Ali, who helped co-found the BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club) project, and Aronow’s childhood friend Nicole Muniz, who has served as the company’s CEO and will move into a partner and strategic advisor role when Daniel Alegre takes over as CEO.

Financing Information

According to The Verge, Yuga Labs, the founding team of the Bored Ape BAYC (Bored Ape Yacht Club) NFT series, has completed a round of financing of US$450 million, bringing the company's valuation to US$4 billion. The leading institution in this round of financing is Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), and other investment institutions include Animoca Brands, Coinbase and MoonPay.

【background story】

The story of Dookey Dash is based on the third monkey Jimmy the Mokey released by Yuga Labs, the parent company of BAYC. While the bored apes were drinking, Jimmy the Mokey went to the toilet. After he finished using the toilet, a soldier suddenly rushed out of the toilet and gave a golden key and a treasure chest to one of the bored apes.

Because the apes were celebrating too excitedly, they threw the golden key into the wine glass. Jimi Monkey happened to pick up the glass of wine and drank it all, and the golden key fell into Jimi Monkey's stomach.

The apes put on sterile gloves, took out scissors and tried to get the key out. Seeing this, Jimmy Monkey ran into the toilet and locked the door with a combination lock. Then he squatted on the toilet and tried to get the key out, but the key was stuck in Jimmy Monkey's body and could not be removed. Jimmy Monkey also fainted from the pain. Now the bored apes are trying their best to get the golden key, and the only way is to go through the sewer of BAYC.

Thus was born the game Dookey Dash. In Dookey Dash, the difficulty increases as the player tries to get as far as possible. The task is to dodge and break through obstacles in the sewer (Sewer) and pick up objects called fragments to earn points.

Sewer Pass

Sewer Pass is an NFT that serves as a ticket to the Dookey Dash game, with 30,000 in total. Holders of BAYC or MAYC NFTs can get a Sewer Pass for free.

Sewer Passes are only available to BAYC/MAYC holders, who can apply for a Sewer Pass for free between January 17, 2023 and February 8, 2023. Sewer Passes can be used to play Dookey Dash games, can be transferred or traded, and can be displayed as artwork, but users do not have the right to commercialize them.

If you don’t have BAYC/MAYC, you can also buy a Sewer Pass on secondary markets such as Opensea.

Sewer Pass Ticket Tiers

Level 1: Own a MAYC

Level 2: Own a MAYC and a BAKC

Level 3: Own a BAYC

Level 4: Own a BAYC and a BAKC

Sewer Pass will be divided into 4 levels according to the BAYC/MAYC held at the time of application, or the combination of BAYC/MAYC and BAKC (which cannot be minted, but can only be upgraded) held, and each level has its corresponding point reward. The higher the level, the greater the bonus and the greater the chance of getting better rewards:

  • Level 1: 0% of bonus points

  • Level 2: 10% bonus points

  • Level 3: 20% bonus points

  • Level 4: 30% bonus points

Once a Sewer Pass is claimed, its level cannot be changed. For example, if you transfer a Level 1 Sewer Pass to someone else, it will still be a Level 1 Sewer Pass regardless of how many BAYC, MAYC, or BAKC tokens they hold.

Specifically, users can combine BAYC or MAYC with BAKC to obtain a higher level Sewer Pass. When a user has multiple BAYC, MAYC, and BAKC, there will be multiple options. For example, a user with two BAYCs and one BAKC can apply for a level 4 Sewer Pass with one BAYC and BAKC, and apply for another level 3 Sewer Pass with another unpaired BAYC. If a user has multiple Sewer Passes, they can select the Sewer Pass to use before starting the Dookey Dash game.

【Start the game】

Go to the official website to link your wallet. The first time you enter the game or close the webpage, you will be redirected to the tutorial.

The game is simple to operate. The basic operations are: use the mouse to dodge up, down, left, and right, and click the left mouse button to break through the wooden board.

Similar to Temple Run and Subway Surfers, you need to run as far as possible and survive to become Dookey Dash. Parkour-like modes test the player's reaction and operation. There is no end in the game and the difficulty of the game increases with the distance traveled. This game is a web game that can be played using PC and mobile devices, but you must hold a BAYC Sewer Pass.

The sewer is full of garbage, and players need to control their monkeys to avoid the garbage to move forward. At the same time, the sewer is full of powerful cosmic debris. While avoiding the garbage, you should also collect these cosmic debris as much as possible.

The controls are simple, use your trackpad or mouse to move, dodge and catch debris. If you're playing on mobile, you can also just use your finger. Your character will follow you wherever you go.

To use your dash to break the wooden block, left-click or tap on your trackpad. On mobile, you can just tap the screen to use the dash. (You don't need a Powershart pack to run the dash)

In addition to the score bonus brought by the pass, players can also spend 2$APE on the game's official website to get 10 minutes of BUFF assistance (infinite purchases are available) to get better sprint effects, 15% score bonuses, and better prizes.

【Reward calculation】

The score of each game is determined by 3 factors, including:

  • Survival distance (how far can you run in one round)

  • Space debris collection

  • Obstacle destruction

The player's score will determine their chance to unlock the BAYC Sewer Pass in the seventh stage of the storyline, "The Summoning," on February 15. The higher the score, the better the reward.

From January 18 to February 8, players can play as many times as they want, constantly challenge themselves to beat their highest scores, and see their ranking on the in-game leaderboard. After that, the game scores will be settled, and the player who ranks first will get Jimmy's key. If there is a tie for first place at the time of settlement, the player who reached the first place score earlier will get the key.

Scores for cosmic debris types are as follows:

Normal (white): 300 points

Rare (Green): 500 points

Rare (Blue): 1000 points

Epic (Purple): 1500 points

Legend (Orange): 2000 points

Break through the board: 400 points

The longer you stay in the sewers and the more fragments you collect (the rarer these fragments are), the more points you get. Depending on the level of the sewer pass, you will get different final score rewards.

Powershart package in Dookey Dash

You can also choose to use Powershart Booster in Dookey Dash to unlock more in-game benefits. This allows you to purchase a booster before the game using 2$APE (tap BUY BOOSTER on the home screen). Powershart Packs are a 3-in-1 booster that lasts for 10 minutes from the time of purchase. They are completely optional and you can play without them.

The Powershart Pack includes the following bonuses:

Double Dash : The cooldown of your Dash is reduced by half. Normally, your Dash has a three-second cooldown, and if you fail to dash through an obstacle or block an object, your Dash becomes available again (if you successfully dash through an obstacle or block an object, there is no cooldown). After the boost, the cooldown of your Dash is only 1.5 seconds.

Rank Boost: 15% bonus to the boost percentage. For example, if you have a level 4 sewer pass, your base bonus is 30%. After the boost, it will be 45%. That is, if you reach 300 points, your total value at the end of the game is 435. The boost percentages for other sewer passes are as follows:

Gold Hoarder: Rare, Epic, and Legendary items appear more frequently.

【Summon(Mint New NFT)】

After February 8, the game data of each player will be frozen, and the player with the highest score will receive the key. All other players or passes can prepare for "summoning". The higher the score of the pass, the better the reward of "summoning".

Meanwhile, the great canine prophet Gary has been studying the box Curtis received and believes it lays the groundwork for a summoning ritual that could potentially unlock a source of power from another dimension of the world.

Gary has also been watching you in the sewers, so all Sewer Passes with a score greater than 0 on February 15th will be eligible for the summon. Your highest score will determine what you get when you summon. But the revelation is just the beginning. Because the energy you contain can evolve over the course of the story through various ApeCoin-powered mini-games. Here is the roadmap:

【6 Tips for getting high scores】

1. Grasp the sprint time

Scoring in Dookey Dash is based on three main factors: how long your sewer run lasts, the kinds of debris you pick up, and the number of obstacles you destroy. The dash (a quick speed boost) is one of the key components of the game. It allows your character to glide forward and smash through obstacles in your path. However, timing your dash is crucial. Dash too late, and you'll have a hard time reacting to invisible obstacles behind the wall you just broke through. Too early, and you might not have enough speed to break through in the first place. It's better to dash early than late, but be aware that hitting some pipes outside of a wall while using the dash can end your run.

2. Be strategic about collecting debris

Collecting shards (both common and rare) will help improve your total score, so make sure you aim for them. However, since the obstacles in the sewers become more numerous as you run, don't risk too much for the common shards, and instead focus on extending your run as long as possible.

3. Reset your sprint

The dash is a tool, so use it wisely. The three-second cooldown required to dash can severely inhibit your ability to rack up points in the game, or even cause your entire run to end because you can't dash through obstacles. However, once you use the dash to break through a board or knock a large object out of your path, it instantly resets and can be used again immediately after the cooldown. Using the dash to beak through large objects will also earn you a small number of points. These points will add up over time, so use this to your advantage, especially in the early stages of the game when there are far fewer objects floating in the sewers.

4. Use ApeCoin to purchase Powershart packages

Dookey Dash players willing to spend 2 ApeCoin ($APE, the native token of the BAYC universe) will be rewarded with a Powershart Pack, a booster pack that grants three upgrades in real time for 10 minutes in the game. Benefits include a greater chance of finding rare items in the sewers, reducing the sprint cooldown by half, and adding a 15% bonus to your final score.

5. Ignore your score

Try not to pay too much attention to your score in the top left corner of the screen. Glancing at it will only distract you, which will increase your chances of hitting the edge of the obstacle and ending your run. If you need to know how you're doing, listen to the music as it changes throughout your run. If the music is too annoying, try muting the game and playing your own music instead.

6. Don’t cheat

Because of the stakes involved in the game, some people may be tempted to circumvent the rules or otherwise cheat to get a high score. Yuga Labs co-founder Greg Solano recently addressed this issue on Twitter, explaining that the team collects a fair amount of metadata from every run of the game, and any foul play could potentially be detected and lead to a ban from future Mints.

*As of press time, the first place score has reached 86W points, which is temporarily held by the well-known e-sports player Mongraal. If no one can break this record before February 8, he will receive the Jimmy Key.

【Game experience】

GWG community member "翘臀柯基" shared: "🤩From a subjective gaming experience, Dookey Dash has first-rate feel, excellent electronic music sound effects (different music in different segments, the sound effects are very exciting), and a ridiculous and crazy story background. It is a good small-scale game👍. Now most players are desperately brushing points to strive for a better ranking and the first-place key reward."

👀From player feedback, the overly expensive Sewer Pass game ticket price of Dookey Dash still makes many ordinary players stay away. After all, for non-BAYC/MAYC holders, this is a game that requires real money to participate, and you have to rely on skills to win rewards. Or maybe this is more like a game carnival for the "rich." 🤔🤯

✨The success of the BAYC project shows the innovation and bold attempts of its parent company Yuga Labs in the overall IP branding operation ideas. This is a combination of strength and resources. Brand value is the most priceless and unquantifiable concept. It is precisely because BAYC has created such a brand value with identity symbols that everyone is flocking to it💫. This is also one of the reasons why the Dookey Dash game has attracted so much attention. Whether the Dookey Dash game is a temporary carnival or can become a continuous brand empowerment, let us look forward to the subsequent development together~👏
