Discovering the metaverse

A few months after establishing Mix3d, the community was interested in learning about the metaverse. Many were interested in buying land and building on platforms like Decentraland and Sandbox, and we came up with the idea of a generative maze game. Every day, a new maze would be generated, and users would pay a fee to enter the arena. A portion of their fee would be deposited into a prize pool that would sit at the end of the maze for someone to claim.

The Invisible Maze game was my attempt at testing Decentraland before deploying our game. On my 30th birthday, I launched a prototype for the Mix3d community, and I challenged our members to compete to solve the invisible maze and claim 0.1 ETH.

I posted this video announcing the launch, and I provided written instructions for anyone to get involved. I pressed the publish button and went off to dinner. Immediately after, the community and my followers on social media went into a frenzy, competing for the prize.
