# Noggles Adventure Onboarding Minigames

[toc]

## TLDR
An interactive Nounish minigame launched with Infinitykeys.io explaining Nouns,cco,the Noggles, and the overall Nouns mission.

# Background:
The Noggles Adventure minigame is an interactive story-based puzzle created on Infinitykeys.io. The minigame is designed to engage and entertain people while educating them about the concept of public goods and the Creative Commons Zero (cc0) licensing system. The adventure centers around a pair of magical glasses known as Noggles, which have the power to enhance creativity, inspire new ideas, and spark innovation. The goal of the minigame is to find and use the Noggles to uncover the mystery of cc0 and the Nouns, a group of magical creatures that inhabit the Nouniverse.

# Infinity Keys X Nouns

Infinity Keys and Noun-frens Bloomz & KimmyDeuk are submitting an Infinity Keys onboarding challenge for newish Nounish explorers. This minigame creates a basic euducation and onboarding flow for new users that reaches a variety of other gaming and web3 communities.

Infinity Keys is a platform for fun DaVinci Code-style challenges that create engagement.

There is a core narrative game created by the IK Team and community where players solve puzzles, complete challenges, level up, and discover more of the hidden world of the secret Society of the Infinite Keys.

Where Infinity Keys becomes compelling for many players and people in other communities is our partnership model and (coming soon) creator tools to build your own puzzles. Creators can build fun challenges that have a theme, story, and gaming hook. Share your own challenges with your friends, the IK community, or to promote other communities across the web or IRL.

The next level of the concept is that anyone can integrate any Infinity Keys challenge, gate, or NFT into your own games. Composable mini-games across the web (2 & 3!) create deep, branching quests across many communities and digital platforms.

This isn't just achievment farming and to-do list "questing". We’re different from other projects because we focus on gameplay experience, not just a retweet or follow spam campaign.

We’ve worked with a number of projects including Aavegotchi, Cometh, Lens, Saga, Probably0, RehashDAO and more to create various gamified challenges.

For this submission, Bloomz and the IK Team have created a first small series of challenges for Nouns to educate and onboard newer people, give them the exposure to basic elements of the Nouniiverse and terminology, and get them thinking about CC0.

The steps in this challenge are:

- Complete a basic passcode challenge to find out what the common name for Nounish glasses are
- Use the Explorer to view traits and find out which number a particular Noun is
- Be directed to the blog post featuring many CC0 NFT projects and learn the basics of the term CC0

Once the player has completed these steps they claim a badge NFT from Infinity Keys. This is a free-to-mint collectible that anyone can use in the future as part of their Infinity Keys games. For example, if we were to create a second adventure, we would likely require that the player holds this badge to ensure that they are proceeding through the story in the desired order.

We are also working with artist Kimmy Deuk to create 100 limited open edition Nouns-based NFT art peices. As an incentive beyond just the fun of the game, the first 100 players to complete the challenge and mint the badge NFT from Infinity Keys will be airdropped this 1/100 artwork.

The idea behind this type of challenge is to create minigames that are not too hard, but still make the player feel like they have accomplished something. One of the challenges in web3 is that the initial onboaring to begin playing or exploring is significant and difficult. Infinity Keys provides a platform where you can login with email, play the games, and explore digital spaces without needing a web3 wallet.

Our goal is to be a friendly, game-based community and application for Normies (non-web3 frens) to explore and onboard at their own pace. Nobody needs to connect a wallet to play this game. If collecting Kimmy's art or the badge as an NFT is important to the player, then they are welcome to connect and mint. However the core experience is about the game, so anyone should be able to get onboarded to basic nounish ideas and have a fun experience that's not tied to finances or wallets or other things that can be intimidating for newer users.
