Back to collectionA Free Unicorn Race Gives Players Something to Try
The CPI result was out, and the market treated a September rate cut as all but certain, yet altcoins remained weak. A free competitive running game appeared on the chain: unicorns collided horn-first, and the first across the finish line won a prize. Free entry shifted this conversation from how much one had to stake first to whether the game was fun.

The CPI result was out, and the market treated a September rate cut as all but certain, yet altcoins remained weak. The group had still been arguing about staking rewards the day before. The Night Watchman reminded himself to look separately at what was happening with games on the chain.
A free competitive running game appeared on the chain: unicorns collided horn-first, and the first across the finish line won a prize. As the Night Watchman listened to people discuss the game, some wanted to try it immediately while others asked what there was to enjoy beyond winning and losing. He recorded both reactions and planned to hear from players after they had played a few matches.
Free entry shifted this conversation from how much one had to stake first to whether the game was fun. Prizes could draw people into an initial attempt; whether they stayed would depend on the matches themselves. Expectations for a September rate cut could not answer that question for the game.
