Recently, the Japanese developers of the company Mandel Duck unveiled a new game called Takara, which translated from Japanese means "treasure". The app allows players to "hunt" for bitcoins and tokens Counterparty (XCP), or hide them in their own "secret place."
Takara is already available in the App Store users of iOS devices, and a few months later, the developers promise and run the Android-version of the game. The main idea of the project - promoting Bitcoin among the population and entrepreneurs.
The principle of Bitcoin game similar to the mechanism acclaimed Pokemon GO - the application uses elements of augmented reality and geolocation. After downloading the player sees a map on which are marked markers - the point where bitcoins and tokens hidden XCP. To get them, users will need to get to a designated place. For the "collection" of coins you can use any Bitcoin wallet. By default, the game is selected Breadwallet, but it can be changed by clicking on the link "Click here to add a button" - "the other purse." But to collect tokens can only IndieSquareWallet.
Who puts on the BTC and XCP map?
Add "treasure" can not do everything, but only "proven droppers". It's the players who have left the corresponding application on the website of the developer and get approval. This limitation is due to the fact that the application owners fear the emergence of a large number of "empty" markers created only to attract players to a specific location and do not carry any benefits. But to collect coins and tokens can be anyone.
Once a player finds a token or bitcoin, dropper loses the right to them. However, until that time has placed the "treasure" may withdraw it from the map using the individual key, which, incidentally, will help to return the funds, and if the app will stop working for one reason or another.
"Extracted" bitcoins and tokens (it can be as coupons and "digital share" some company) can be used for their intended purpose. According to the developers, the opportunity should be of interest to users. However, while Takara shows not the highest popularity figures. Currently, the game audience is about 2 thousand. People, mostly residents of Tokyo. For comparison, in the US alone Pokemon Go loaded average 5.4 million times a day. But, despite this, the developers are confident that the application will still find its users and become popular.
What do you think, to be able to repeat the success of Takara "Pokemon"?
