# Just.Game Pre-release 1 Gameplay FAQ

In this FAQ, we will cover the most common questions surrounding how the upcoming project works. Keep in mind that this covers only the pre-release, and things are subject to change.

**Pre-release Whitepaper 1**

:exclamation: :point_right: First thing is first, you should check out the [pre-release abridged whitepaper](https://just.team/just-game-paper-page/) in order to understand the broader implications of the project.

[](https://just.team/just-game-paper-page/)

Once you've read the abridged whitepaper (click above for a link), you can review the commonly asked questions below.

--------

## What is this project?

Just.game is a type of autodecentric technology that represents the natural sequel and advancement of [Team JUST](https://just.team)'s previous work on autonomous recursive economic theory (aka: from the creators of Fomo3D). Sounds complicated, but don’t worry, it’s _just a game_.

## Who built this project?

This project was designed and built by [Team JUST](https://just.team) with :heart:. You can read more about the creators of this project [on their website](https://just.team). Their previous projects have collectively handled almost 800M and they are just getting started.

## What platform powers this project?

This upcoming project will be deployed onto the TRON platform. To learn more about this, check out our [TRON Explained](https://hackmd.io/@cryptoknight/tronexplained) guide for details. Remember that, **once deployed the smart contract will be immutable and fully autonomous.** _No one can ever stop or change it at that point, even the creators._

## How do I test out this new project?

This project has previously completed a small testnet which has now closed. Next testnet will be open to everyone in this discord! _If you've entered this discord server, your application has been accepted._

## What is a gift box, and why am I purchasing one?

Gift boxes are tokens of appreciation from C.U.R.V.Y that start with no value when initially purchased. And then only ever increase in their value from there as new boxes are purchased. Boxes continue to exist, increasing in value, until they are opened (for 2x) or upgraded, or auto-opened after the round ends (for 1x)

The logic is very simple: A user will always wants to open a gift box before the round has ended in order to get double the TRX. The paradox is _when_.

## How much do gift boxes cost?

Gift boxes costed 25 TRX per box during the first testnet. So if you sent in 250 TRX, you would have expected to receive 10 boxes at any point in the cycle. _This is subject to change in future releases._

## How much are my giftboxes worth, and when does their value increase?

Gift boxes start without value at their time of purchase, and then can **only ever increase in value after that point** unless upgraded or opened. Gift boxes increase in value **every time any other gift box in the system is purchased, upgraded or opened.** That's right, every player opening up their boxes increases the value of all other player's boxes. Every player upgrading their boxes increases the value of all other boxes.

Remember: Gift boxes only ever increase in value from every other player interaction, except for when you decide to upgrade or open your boxes. **You are the only one in control of the tokens of appreciation _she_ gives you.**

## How does upgrading my boxes work?

Upgrading takes all of the value within your boxes, and then uses that value to purchase even more boxes. Keep in mind that you will keep all of your old boxes as well, but that the value within all of your boxes is reset to 0. Then starts growing again even faster.

## What can I do with my boxes (tokens of appreciation)?

Your boxes are stored in a single collection which you act on as a group (all or nothing). Based on pre-release, you can do the following with your boxes:

* **Buy more boxes.** Pay more TRX to purchase additional boxes to your collection.
* **Open your boxes.** This takes all of your boxes, and destroys them. Twice the current value of your boxes is then available for you to withdraw to your TRON wallet.
* **Upgrade your boxes.** This takes all of the value within your boxes, and then uses that value to purchase even more boxes. Keep in mind that you will keep all of your old boxes as well, but that the value within all of your boxes is reset to 0. Then starts growing again even faster.

This is a game of patience and timing. If you leave with a 2x by opening, then you no longer earn for the round and everyone left earns more as a result.

## What is the Reboot and Reboot Prize?

The reboot happens once the timer goes to zero for this cycle. The following happens during a reboot:

1. The reboot automatically opens all boxes, giving them half the value they would have gotten had they opened before the reboot
2. The reboot prize is split between the last 100 users who tried to prevent the reboot from occurring by purchasing or upgrading boxes. Each of these users receives 1% of the overall prize personally from just.game as a gift.
3. The very last player to buy a gift box gets a little something extra.

After the reboot, a new cycle starts fresh, with a portion of the reboot prize seeded from the previous cycle.

## How do I get into that top 100 that shares the reboot prize?

You are bumped to the top every time you purchase or upgrade a gift box. Then every time another person purchases or upgrades, you are bumped down by one and they are added to the front.

Once you are the 101st most recent person to participate, you are no longer in the top 100.

## Okay....so who wins and who loses? Am I going to be rich?

There are a number of mechanics not covered yet, and no definitive answers to the best strategy for what has been revealed. Here are a few of the key considerations: when to open boxes for 2x or not, when to upgrade your boxes or not, when to buy more boxes or not, etc. all part of the strategy. You also have to factor in mechanics not discussed yet, and the promotion system.

There's no "best strategy", you have to adapt to what other players are or aren't doing. Timing is everything. Don't forget that as the timer gets lower, people will be tempted to open their boxes... and when people open their boxes, it increases the timer again.

## How does the promotion system work?

This project needs attention to survive, and has a powerful system for rewarding those that keep it alive. Not much is explained in the whitepaper about the powerful promotion system yet.

## What is "the Glitch"?

Not covered in the current whitepaper release, details about what the Glitch :tm: does will be released later. :bomb:

## How does P3D fit in or integrate with Just.game?

@Justo in the #announcements:

> We've definitely heard the passion for P3D over the last few weeks, and the disappointment to it not having a place in the next project.
>
> We tried many different approaches, and we finally think we have something you'll like very much. We'd like to gauge the public opinion on potentially making it possible to play newjustgame with your P3D. This most importantly would not incur any 10% taxes as you used the token, meaning a flat 1:1 conversion of value into the new project. This might even trigger additional bonus value (that we need to heavily test first.)
>
> Existing P3D holders would receive dividends from this process and we'll be violating a couple blockchain rules to guarantee this occurs. Don't tell vitalik.
>
> This is not something we expect will be ready upon release due to the complexity, but we want to launch it very close after , along with the new p3d.org domain that we had planned. Please let us know what your thoughts are so we can gauge how much focus we should place upon this subsystem.

Keep in mind that with the [official team just website](https://just.team/), all the attention on the new project will also bring back a lot of energy and new interest in the team and the previous projects as well.
