After making real estate investment more accessible with the help of NFTs, the French platform Wincity is now tackling blockchain gaming. Find out how this new “Play to Earn” combining video game and real estate works.
Wincity, the platform that links real estate investment to NFTs
Since its first collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) launched at the beginning of 2022, the Wincity platform has continued its development in the blockchain universe.
The 1,111 “Paris Grande Chaumière” NFTs divided into 4 levels of rarity have allowed users to get their first foot in real estate investing by receiving a share of the rent every 11th of the month, with an estimated annual return of 8%.
The platform’s initial goal is to offer users the opportunity to purchase NFTs whose value is attached to a share of real estate, in order to make investing in this sector more liquid and accessible.
While a new off-series collection named “History” already allowed users to obtain a right of governance on the decisions taken for the development of the platform, invitations to private events and to be whitelisted on the next mints of real estate, Wincity is about to offer a new feature to the holders of tokens of this collection: blockchain gaming.
A “Play to Earn” game featuring French monuments
Highlighting the French tourist heritage, the History collection allows people who own one of the 3,333 NFTs to join Wincity’s video game adventure.
The objective is simple and will bring back memories to the nostalgic Monopoly evenings, since you will have to attract more and more visitors to accumulate the most points.
The buildings built by the players will allow them to collect “win.coin”, an in-game currency, in order to improve their buildings and increase their earnings.
Based on one-week games, the objective for users is to get as many points as possible in order to top the weekly ranking and receive better rewards. Don’t worry about the regularity, just log in from time to time to enjoy Wincity game.
How the game works and its associated rewards
The link between the real world and the virtual world is important for Wincity. That’s why its game is no exception to the rule.
The number of points earned by players will depend on the number of visitors to the monuments in the game. For this, Wincity uses data from telecommunications companies to find out the actual number of visits. In addition, different bonuses and maluses will accompany these visitors according to their type, ranging from “businessman”, “tourist” and others.
Also note that, for the sake of balance, monuments that are more difficult to access (such as the Pont du Gard for example) will also take into account the visits of the town.
To access the game, the only condition is to own an NFT from the History collection, which can be obtained randomly via the purchase of a “chest” worth 99 euros by credit card or in ETH, or can be retrieved for free for users who have already participated in another Wincity collection. Also, the rarity level of an NFT will impact its performance in-game.
But if you are wondering where the main interest of this game lies, the answer is in the rewards. The weekly ranking of visits allows you to get a higher ETH reward depending on your rank. In addition, there are daily quests that reward active players for performing various activities in the game.
To celebrate the launch of the new game, users who complete daily tasks in the first game will have a chance to receive a History Card as a reward.
Wincity’s P2E game will be released on October 8
After linking non-fungible tokens to real estate, Wincity is adding gamification to its ecosystem.
Its “Play to Earn” game provides financial rewards for the most active players, and adds a gamified perspective to the world of traditional real estate.
The Wincity community is eagerly awaiting the release of this game scheduled for Saturday, October 8 at 5pm.
Note that new NFTs backed by real estate will be offered for sale at the end of October. This will be the perfect opportunity to fully join the Wincity ecosystem.
