11Minutes

The first #play2earn #NFT Gaming Series

What is 11Minutes and how did it all start?

Hey guys, thank you very much for looking at this first, possibly also one of the most important, post. I’m Zeit from 11Minutes, the new Play2Earn NFT game series.

I will guide you through the post and share our history with you before I explain the concept of 11Minutes in more detail.

How it all started!

We are a group of 12 developers who are active in the hypercasual scene. Due to our work, we of course monitor the development of the game industry very carefully. Each and every one of us is also interested in the blockchain and its possibilities, so that we have come across Play2Earn games from time to time. Of course only for research reasons, as it should be for reasonable developers, we of course played some of these games.

We noticed that many of the games were more basic games with no frills, just existing concepts that were relatively heartlessly adapted to the blockchain, with the purpose of pushing a game token that was just as simple deployed to the market as the game itself was. At this point, I’m sure that some games have already crossed your mind. Yes, it’s exactly that game we’re gossiping about right now.

Of course there are also pieces of jewelry, my personal favorite is “Gods Unchained”. The game is far from finished and still has its quirks, but as a Hearthstone fan from the very beginning, I’ve had a lot of fun. Angry tongues will blur that it is only a copy of a well-known game deployed on the blockchain. I just say, yes, right, but it was done well and is just fun! Collecting is satisfying thanks to the combination of NFT creation with different material levels, which cannot be said of other trading card games. At this point, hats off “Gods Unchained”.

Of course we came across other giants like “Axie Infinity” along the way. Axie is really very smart, the idea of NFTs is used very well here. That made a lot of people to put on their own versions of the same system, but let’s stay with Axie.

Breeding is fun and is associated with a certain tension, of course a certain tactic is also required here. In my opinion, the game itself is not the best. A huge community has formed around it, with scholarships and everything, but it is rather monotonous. The guys are still doing it right, as the entry of Samsung Next proves.

In all the games we encountered, one thing particularly bothered us, either the investment was much too high or it just took an incredibly long time to collect a few pennies. Play2Earn sounds more like a promise that has not been kept. In the games where you can really make money, like Axie Infinity, entry is simply not possible for many players.

This is where we come into play. We wanted to solve the problem of long monotonous playing times just for a rather small return and the problem of high entry costs in order to actually be able to earn money.

11Minutes was born!

What is 11Minutes?

11Minutes is not a single game, but a series of games in which the aim is to achieve the high score within 11 minutes. But let’s start from the beginning:

First of all, the player must have mint a NFT to participate in a game session.

The price is $ 45, which is the average price you would pay for a new game. Of course, we also distribute tickets through competitions or giveaways, about which you can find out more in the upcoming posts. Incidentally, a competition is currently running for Game Session # 1, which you can take part in here: Giveaway

After the minting event is over, the gaming event begins. You have 24 hours to start your own game session and set a high score within 11 minutes. We will reveal the game shortly before the start of each session. Most of the time, it will be an endless games that is hardly more difficult than Flappy Bird. You can restart as often as you like in your 11 minutes and break your own high score. The highest rating is entered in the leaderboard together with your wallet address and your NFT Token ID. Based on your position on the leaderboard, you will receive a profit that will differ from session to session.

Pretty simple, right?

But let’s get to the interesting part, namely the numbers.

Let’s take the example of the first session, in which a maximum of 10,000 players can participate. As I said, the ticket will cost around $ 45, whereby we will use MATIC as the currency, as we will bring our NFTs out on Polygon. We use Polygon, because the gas fees are particularly low here, so that you actually come to just under $ 45 and the price does not double, as it would be the case on Ethereum Mainnet.

“How do i get MATIC?”, “How can I connect my wallet” etc. all these and more will be answered in the next post about the Beta Test Game.. Yes, a Beta Test is coming up, so follow us to make sure you don’t miss a thing.

Back to the topic!

When all NFT Tickets have been sold, the first game session will give a total of $ 270,000 in prize money. First place receives $ 80,000, second place $ 20,000 and third place $ 10,000 for 11 minutes of play!

Here you have an overview of all other placements:

1st Place: $ 80,000

2nd Place: $ 20,000

3rd Place: $ 10,000

4th Place: $ 8,000

5th Place: $ 7,000

6th Place: $ 6,000

7th Place: $ 5,000

8th Place: $ 4,000

9th Place: $ 3,500

10th Place: $ 3,000

Top 25%: $ 50 for each player

Yes, you read that right! If you reach the top 25% of the leaderboard you will receive $50 as a prize. Such high winnings in such a short time are not paid out in any other game, and everyone is a winner, because everyone keeps their NFT at the end of the session. This actually has to be mentioned at this point, as there are now games where your NFTs are burned. Shame on you guys!

Of course you can ask yourself at this point, what should the NFTs bring me after the game session? Don’t worry, the NFT tickets will remain valuable.

There will be special events in which you can only participate if, for example, you have a ticket for the first and a ticket for the third session in your wallet. You are free to sell your tickets, but keep in mind that you may lose your chance to attend a cool special event!

That’s actually all.

You have 11 minutes to receive an incredible win that would surely change the lives of some of you.

I hope you enjoyed the introduction to us and are interested in participating.

The Beta Game Test event will be Free2Play and every participant will have the chance to get on the whitelist and thus guaranteed to get a ticket to the first game session.
