PROJECT OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION:
THE CHOP LIFE BRAND:
Chop Life Inc is an entertainment and lifestyle brand set up to tap into a new set of events that capture a new and upcoming wave of individuals and brands tapping into the zeitgesit culture of the time we target. We have successfully hosted six events [3 Editions of Game Nights, 2 Beach Trips and 1 silent disco event] on the theme of community and we have decided to build on the successes of past events by hosting another game night event which we believe will expand the reach of the NEAR community in the web3 ecosystem.
THE CHOPLIFE INC TEAM: The event is organized by Chop Life Inc co-founded and managed by myself (Legend Harry) and my partner Jamal (@BigMal). We also have two team members (Brand Manager- Temitope & Brand Ambassador - Sandra).
COUNTRY AND CITY OF RESIDENCE: The Chop Life Team currently operates out of Lagos, Nigeria.

EVENT SUMMARY: The GAME NIGHT will take place on Saturday, the 1st of October 2022 which also coincides with the Independence day celebration of Nigeria. Therefore, it is our belief that a social activity such as a game night event on such day will yield a positive result as young, outgoing and social people (our target demographic) will be more enthused about it. The theme of the event will be centered around NEAR and the web3 ecosystem in general. We will have banners and other props to this effect. The attendees will be grouped into four teams distinguished by the color of their hand tags and each team will be assigned a Captain. This Team Captain will facilitate the participation of their teams in the team games and will also act as a liaison between the attendees and the organizers. Each team Captain will also be tasked with onboarding their respective team members to the telegram and whatsapp groups. Refreshments in form of snacks and pet drinks will be served to all attendees.
GOALS/EXPECTED IMPACT:
-
Introducing game techies and Web3 enthusiasts amongst the attendees to the gov forum where they can connect with the Human Guild, the NEAR guild dedicated to supporting the next generation of Web3 games built on NEAR.
-
Creation of the Chop Life Inc mintbase store which will feature sales of NFT Tickets to attendees. Tickets will be available on our store and can only be purchased with Near.
-
The event will also be hosted in the metaverse via NearHub to encourage online participation from our community. NEAR Hub offers users the option to interact with the metaverse through their mobile phones and to access the space by easily connecting with their NEAR wallet login. It is also the perfect place to meet like minds and learn about NEAR Protocol, DeFi, DAOs, Gaming, NFTs and so much more.
-
Minting of Pictures and video content from the event on our Mintbase store as NFTS. All highlighted activities and photoworks from the event will be minted.
-
Promotion/Marketing of the NEAR ecosystem to the attendees: There will be a live interactive trivia session about NEAR and the WEB3 ecosystem. This will form part of the Team Games that we normally have. The trivia questions will be printed on playing cards carrying the NEAR logo. There will be two sessions, one at the beginning and the other to wrap up the event. The winners of each session gets a $50 reward in NEAR. Also, we will introduce the attendees to NEARCRASH, a game on the NEAR PROTOCOL where players have to login with a near wallet to play and earn rewards. Branded souvenirs such as face caps, T-shirts, Mugs, Water bottles, key chains etc featuring the NEAR logo will be awarded to attendees who win different game rounds. Attendees that are eligible for these giveaway prizes will have to open a NEAR Wallet to claim their prizes, this in turn makes onboarding easy and fun.
-
Encouraging game enthusiasts from none-web3 background to opening a Near Wallet (winning the trivia sessions and other game rounds and being incentivized to open one).
-
Creating a community of game nights lovers of up to 300 active participants. We already have a chop life community on whatsapp with about 100 members where we share news and event updates. We will onboard new game night attendees to the group as well and to foster participation and community engagement activity, they will be onboarded to the NxM Discord Server where they can participate in the weekly Trivia challenge to win prizes in NEARcoin. We believe this idea will exponentially increase interest in participating in ecosystem activity.
-
We have a following of over 300 people on Instagram that weβll continually feed content from this event and weβll also promote our NFT collection (pictures and videos) from the event on a regular basis for increased visibility and reach.
