what's Pudgy Party?
Pudgy Party is a casual mobile battle royale game developed by Mythical Games in collaboration with the Pudgy Penguins NFT project. Players control customizable penguin characters in chaotic 20-player matches, navigating obstacle courses, dodging hazards like fireballs and kicks, and competing to be the last one standing. The game emphasizes fun, social play with friends, personalization through collectible costumes and skins, and seamless integration of blockchain elements for ownership and rewards. Built on the Ethereum blockchain, Pudgy Party incorporates NFTs from the Pudgy Penguins collection, allowing players to use their existing assets in-game or earn new ones through gameplay. It shifts from traditional play-to-earn models toward "play-to-belong," fostering community engagement and cultural fandom similar to popular IPs. Features include pre-registration rewards like soulbound tokens (SBTs) for early adopters, in-game drops at events, and cross-platform accessibility on iOS and Android, making it accessible while rewarding dedicated participants with digital collectibles.
Pudgy Party launched in August 2025.
