What is Play to Earn?
The “play-to-earn” movement is an emerging phenomenon in gaming, wherein players collect rewards in the form of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) within a game and later convert them to real cash.
How do I earn in Blankos Block Party?
Blankos Block Party provides players with a free Party Pass including an NFT (Non-Fungible Token). Party Passes are seasonal and reward you as your play the game by completing set challenges. There are three types of challenges, daily, weekly and seasonal. Finishing Challenges will increase progression on the Party Pass, eventually unlocking small amounts of Blanko Bucks and NFT item/s. An example is the first Party Pass NFT from Season 0, Sergeant Poppy. If you save up those Blanko Bucks, you can eventually purchase an NFT from the in game store.
You can also participate in events like Build Challenges to earn NFTs. All NFT items can be sold to other players in the Mythical Marketplace. Currently the Marketplace is in Beta and only users in certain countries can take bank deposits with others limited to crypto only withdrawals.

How do I check my challenges?
Once you’ve downloaded and logged into the game, you view your challenges by going your Party Pass Menu by pressing the Esc key in-game.
I joined late and I couldn’t get a particular NFT!
Unfortunately, that NFT can no longer be earned but don’t worry, you can still pick it up in the Mythical Marketplace.
Also, the Party Pass resets to a new one every season with different rewards so you’ll be able to earn in the next season’s Party Pass. In the challenges tab you can check when the current season’s Party Pass ends.
Are my Accessories or Blankos NFTs?
You can check an item’s NFT status by the following: In game, go to Esc -> Shelf and click on a Blanko to check if there is an NFT tag on the top-right corner.
You can go to the Accessories tab to check the NFT status of your accessories. – You can check NFT status of items in the in-game shop by locating the NFT tag.

Select Blankos can also be bridged to ETH mainnet.
If this is a Blockchain game, how do I access my Private Keys?
In interviews, Mythical Games said that for the time being they are the custodians of the private keys etc for your Blankos to try to assist the onboarding process and bring on mainstream adoption but later on you shall have access to those keys and then you will be free to sell on the Mythical Marketplace.

Where are these NFTs stored then?
