Mental Maze is an ultra-modern protocol that utilizes Blockchain technology to provide users with an unparalleled gaming experience. Mental Maze is a Create, Play, and challenge to earn Puzzle gaming Protocol. Mental Maze utilizes web2 & web3 technology to achieve decentralization, scalability, security and transparency.

Mental Maze is a cutting-edge web3 gaming company revolutionising the gaming industry.

Mental Maze is a create, challenge and play-to-earn gaming ecosystem built on Aurora.

Our GitHub is not open source at this moment as we are still in development. However, we can open or invite key stakeholders to have a look.

About Mental Maze:

Mental Maze is a web3 game designed with a combination of mind-challenging puzzles and a corresponding reward system, built on blockchain NFT technology. Players will therefore be expected to scale different puzzle levels to earn rewards based on their speed and accuracy. The rewards surpass the stress by far, not to mention the awesome adventurous experience

State of the Project

Given the state of the V1 Mainnet, the product is in a face where it needs two basic things.

  • Grassroot marketing
  • Continuous technical development for V2 mainnet.

Success so far in terms of community:

We are thrilled to see an overwhelming response from the gaming community during our testnet testing phase. Our Discord channel has grown to over 23 live games, 189 members, and 72 creators buzzing with excitement. Players and creators have provided valuable feedback, helping us improve the game experience and build a strong community.

Challenges

  • Limited development team (Need for additional mobile app developer)
  • Marketing budget constraints
  • Administrative expenditures

Addressing these challenges is crucial for the growth and success of Mental Maze. We are actively working to find solutions and allocate resources accordingly.

Solution to challenges

  • Build The Puzzle Launch Pad section of the product
  • Vamp marketing activities by onboarding a marketing manager

Promised Delivery via the solution

Hey @IgbozeIsrael thanks for the proposal – can you link your most recent Mental Maze report in the proposal so it’s available with this?

For dev work, I’d recommend working with DevHub now that we have the new structure to the Grassroots DAOs.

In reviewing the proposal, it is not clear to me how the marketing activities proposed will track performance metrics. Can you look at the KPIs outlined in the most recent NDC announcement and let us know which of the 5 metrics outlined your project will capture and how you plan to do that?

Thanks!

Continuing the discussion from [PROPOSAL] Mental Maze Marketing and Community Activities:

Hello @so608 thanks for this question.

If you take a look at the ambassador programme focus. It is largely to market the product and onboard new users.

This directly fits into the account retention KPI

Also since its its aim at gamers why not submit it to the gaming dao for funding since they also fund games on Aurora.

Thanks for the suggestion.
This proposal is directed to @AuroraCommunityDAO based on the conversation I had with the councils.

I haven’t reached out to GameDAO yet.

Mental Maze V1 is primarily a quiz platform.

It’s the V2 mainnet that captures the puzzle launchpad.

I am skeptical that GameDAO will fund us when our V1 mainnet is a quiz platform.

Quizes and puzzles are also games so it fits the gaming funding criteria

Hello!
Apologies for the mix up. It’s the change in the DAO direction that caused it.

A quick one.
Does this fit 100% with MDAO?
