Notcoin has launched a new story-driven Telegram game called “Lost Dogs,” in collaboration with TON social projects team Lost Dogs Co and NFT trading platform Getgems. The game integrates Notcoin’s TON-based NOT tokens, Lost Dogs NFTs, and a new in-game currency called WOOF.
Notcoin, known for pioneering the clicker tap-to-earn model, captured the attention of 35 million players and led to a $1 billion NOT token airdrop on the TON blockchain. However, founder Sasha Plotvinov decided to pivot away from the tap-to-earn model, ending the mining phase on April 1, and focusing on building sustainable subsystems.
“Lost Dogs” offers a different style of play where players embark on a dog-themed quest, joining communities or “squads,” inviting new players, and voting on their dogs’ actions to find a new home. Each decision is pivotal, with ethical implications that shape the narrative and impact the dogs' journey.
The game’s characters are represented by Lost Dogs NFTs, which evolve with the story, gaining special powers and becoming celebrities within the game.
Players can earn Notcoins and the new in-game currency WOOF by participating in the game and making choices that influence their dogs’ story.
The winning choice is determined by the most popular, least popular, or median decision among all players, depending on the parameters set at the beginning of the day.
WOOF is initially a purely in-game currency but may convert to a TON blockchain-based token in the future.
Unlike endless mining games, “Lost Dogs” will run for a fixed period of six weeks, though more such collaborations are expected in the future.
Plotvinov emphasized the game's unique nature, describing it as a gamified experience where players’ decisions shape the story in a magical dog world.
Web3 venture capital firm The Open Platform (TOP) co-founded Notcoin and Getgems and supports the “Lost Dogs” game. TOP has also invested in other Telegram games in TON’s blockchain ecosystem, aiming to develop more innovative gaming experiences.
