Welcome to the first DYGYCON of 2022

The fun continues into DYGYCON 7, which happened January 21-23, 2022! We thank all that were able to participate and were pretty thrilled with the astounding amount of participation as we kicked off this first event of the year into full throttle.

If you haven’t entered our metaverse event hosted by Hive account@splinterlands, then hop on over to the next event happening some time in March! It’s a 3-day weekend event from Friday to Saturday packed with events and activities you can access for 72 hours! This is the second time we’ve hosted DYGYCON across three days and we’re glad to have people come in from around the world to interact with each other. 😎

During the Saturday Main Event, we livestreamed some awesome TALKS featuring Aggroed from Hive account@splinterlands with his welcome message and followed up with Skyler Ramsey from Dogira, Jason Brink from Gala Games, and Sir @Snorfkin from the Snorfkingdom! We appreciate everyone that tuned in with Hive account@waffleskitty and Pete from Hive account@gamerjibe as we explored the metaverse event with you all. Giveaways from the livestream have been issued and if you have not received it, check your inbox by email or on Twitch whispers in case you missed it!
😸😎

You can still check out the event, although you will not be eligible for the SWAG and some other time-sensitive activities such as the NFT auction, Achievement Badges, and Scavenger Hunt!

Some Personal Experiences Shared

• We received an overwhelming response and would like to highlight a couple, but we will also be posting on upcoming blogs and other content by the DYGYCON team!
• I discovered Dygycon on Twitter and the games/companies that are having a booth there. I grabbed my car keys and was hoping the location would be near me so i would start driving. I was looking at the website gamerjibe where the DYGYCON event being held and saw the option join virtual space. I could not believe it that something like this was possible specially now during strange times with all the restrictions. This was a first time for me to enter the virtual space and be able to chat and have a look at the new projects and learn more from them.
• I posted screenshots in our guild right away and our guild leader joined me. I joined in on the second day and stayed untill the dj played his last song. Had the time of my life in DYGYCON. The next day i spent few hours trying to break the fishing record. The fishing competition was tough but fun.
• What a great way to interact and met new people in the space @Drabs587
• Amazing DJ. I Remember on Friday, they played Mark Morrison "Return of the Mack," I felt that :)
• Attending DYGYCON has always been an interesting experience. Every event has new things, new people to meet. New features from Gamerjibe are always a bonus. I always appreciate how there's so much interaction going on during DYGYCON and that's something I always look forward to! - Hive account@arcgspy
• This was first time in a real metaverse and it was interesting to see. I could see the potential for these types of events. - Cryptodad

When is DYGYCON 8?

We’ll most likely have the next DYGYCON in March. You’ll hear about it first at an upcoming Hive account@splinterlands Town Hall first!
