Crypto 101 Games

About

How can we onboard people into crypto in a fun way? Onboarding is usually social, since making a mistake and losing funds is scary many people oftentimes lean on a person who knows crypto for advice on how to get started. The basic concepts like the difference between a public and private key, and seed phrases, can be taught to anybody - even children. So what if crypto can be taught through an all-ages board game?

Bounty: Create concept art for fun games that onboard people to learn about crypto, can become a new m3me card. I want to see if there's enough interest in this idea to generate a proof of concept.

TAP / MTV: Every new user of crypto should compartmentalize 3 wallets; one for minting, one for transacting, and one for vaulting. Aka Hot / Warm / Cold wallets.

Learning the Basics

I want to design a family boardgame or card game that teaches the basics of private key security for securing cryptocurrency that anybody can learn, what are 3 board game ideas?

  1. Crypto Treasure Hunt: This board game is designed as a treasure hunt where players must find hidden cryptocurrency tokens by solving various private key puzzles. The game board represents a digital landscape, and the tokens are hidden in different locations. Each player is given a set of private key fragments and must combine them with public clues found on the board to unlock the tokens. The game teaches the importance of private keys, how to securely store them, and how to use them to access cryptocurrency safely.


  1. Key Keepers: In this card game, players take on the role of key keepers who are entrusted with the task of securely managing private keys for cryptocurrency wallets. Each player has a set of cards representing different private keys, wallets, and security measures (such as hardware wallets, paper wallets, and passphrase encryption). Players must collect and trade these cards to create the most secure key storage solutions while thwarting the attempts of hackers (represented by event cards) trying to steal their keys. The player with the most secure and valuable wallet at the end of the game wins.

  1. CryptoLock: CryptoLock is a cooperative board game where players work together to protect a shared cryptocurrency wallet from various security threats. The game board features a series of interconnected nodes representing different security layers (firewalls, encryption, and multi-signature requirements). Players must strategically place their private key cards on these nodes to create a secure defense system while also working together to solve private key puzzles and unlock additional security features. The game teaches players the importance of private key security, teamwork, and problem-solving in the world of cryptocurrency.
