- Daily demand limits scale with a wallet’s Neo N3 activity, and users must play for at least three days to make a final bet; General ledger portfolios are excluded
- Each participant pays an entry fee of 0.5 GAS which replenishes a basic pool of 200 GAS, which will be distributed before December 30 to wallets that correctly identify the mystery gift.
Neo has released a Christmas-themed game titled “Grouchy, Grinchy, Grumpy AI Christmas,” inviting community members to retrieve a mysterious gift by questioning an artificial intelligence designed to provide useless answers, according to an announcement from the blockchain platform.
The web-based game, available at xmas.neo.org, is powered by the SpoonOS infrastructure. Players must identify a gift that the AI has allegedly stolen by asking questions and analyzing the answers.
The AI responds to player questions in three ways: lie, mislead, or insult the participant, depending on the game’s design. Players must determine what type of answer they received and extract helpful hints to identify the correct answer. The game encourages community collaboration by sharing responses and developing theories to decipher the mysterious gift.
Neo and AI
Players will receive a limited number of daily queries based on their connected wallet’s Neo N3 transaction history. Portfolios with more activity are eligible for additional daily questions. Users must participate for at least three days of competition to be eligible for a final bet. Ledger wallets are not supported due to the arbitrary message signing requirement.
Participation requires an entry fee of 0.5 GAS, which will be added to the prize pool. Sending messages and submitting replies will not incur any additional costs. A base prize pool of 200 GAS will be increased by the entrance fees collected and distributed to participants who correctly identify the gift at the end of the event.
The event kicked off and will take place until 00:00 UTC on December 30, according to Neo.
