Squid Game-inspired NFTs: Will Dapp Arcade Develop One?
An NFT Play-to-Earn game inspired by the hit Korean Netflix series Squid Game that went viral this year is now in development at Dapp Arcade. While it’s unsurprising that the gaming industry would be quick to capitalize on Squid Game’s popularity, the majority of the games developed in response to it — mobile apps on Google Play and video games on Steam — are not blockchain-based and hence, they lack play-to-earn capabilities. If you are a fan of the popular Squid Game series, keep an eye out for this new NFT play-to-earn Squid Game-inspired game that will be available on the Dapp Arcade soon.
If you have not yet watched the Netflix series Squid Game, it is a story of losers, winners, friendships, and betrayals. The ones invited to play the game are all heavily indebted, thus they have only one goal: to win the pot prize!
There were six childhood games in the series that tested each one’s capability and character:
- Red Light, Green Light
- Honeycomb/Dalgona Candy
- Marbles
- Tug of War
- Glass Bridge
- Squid Game
Of all these games, one that would probably wrench your heart was the Marble Game that tested the character of Seong Gi-hun, the name of the lead character in this popular Netflix series.
As a brief background Gi-hun and his old man friend, i.e. Player 001 agreed to play the odd-even Marble Game. The basic rule of the game is that they would have to bet their marbles and guess whether the marble on their partner’s hand is odd or even. Unfortunately for Player 001 he has Alzheimer’s disease. Despite really being good in the game, he lost. Gi-hun tricked him against his will, taking advantage of his friend’s forgetfulness, and ultimately winning the game.
The marble game under Episode 4 is one of the unforgettable and touching episodes in the series. And because of its simplicity, Dapp Arcade chose this game since it can be played by young and old. Dapp Arcade will also rekindle your memory on this episode by bringing this game into the world of an exciting blockchain-based, play-to-earn ecosystem.

Mechanics of the Marble Game
The Marble Game is a basic two-player guessing game. With a bet of marbles in his hands, one player would guess whether the numbers of the marbles concealed in the opponent’s hand are odd or even. If the player guesses correctly, he will get from his opponent the same number of marbles as his bet. If he guesses incorrectly, however, his betted marbles go to his opponent.
For example, if one player holds five marbles in his hand and his opponent correctly guesses it as odd, but his bet is only 3 marbles, the opponent gets only 3 marbles
What will make this crypto game different from all the other Squid Game-inspired games?
Marble Game is a play-to-earn (P2E) game
Marble Game is a blockchain-based game powered by the Acent blockchain technology and is a non-fungible token (NFT) game that could earn you not only internal rewards but external rewards as well.
This means that as you win through the game, you will receive Zera tokens as your internal rewards. Then if you change Zera tokens to DAPPX crypto and DAPPX to fiat currencies you get real value incentives.
Zera tokens would also have an external value in the future just like stocks. And as more and more people play the NFT games in the Dapp Arcade and its partner applications in dAppstore, the higher would be the external value of Zera.
However, to play this NFT game, the participant will need the first set of Zera betting tokens. How to acquire your first Zera tokens check out below!
The Zera rewards from the Marble game can be used in other game applications
The Zera token is an in-game currency or universal token within the Dapp Arcade (including other game applications within the dAppstore ecosystem). This means that as the users play and win in the NFT Marble Game, they will accumulate Zera tokens, which may then be used in other game applications.
The marble game is simple and easy to play with — you can easily win Zera!
Because of the game’s simple mechanics, anyone can play it — young or old, rich or poor. The Marble Game could help users grow their Zera tokens in their metawallet. And before they know it, they have amassed enough Zera tokens to invest in a virtual lot on the dAppstore.
How to acquire Zera tokens?
- Download an Osiris Browser Web 3.0.

3. Buy DAPPX from Kucoin to pledge for Zera
To buy DAPPX from Kucoin, you need to set up a Kucoin account to convert your cash to USDT. From USDT you may now be able to purchase DAPPX. DAPPX can now be sent to your Acent Metawallet so you may acquire your very first set of Zera tokens.
The Acent Metawallet is a multi-crypto wallet that can send or receive other cryptocurrencies such as ETH, TRX or ACE. The team is currently working hard to implement the crypto currency conversion feature of this metawallet so users would be able to seamlessly convert other cryptocurrencies into DAPPX.
Final thoughts
Playing mobile or video games has always been a pastime for many. But blockchain technology has made simple games more fascinating and financially rewarding. It is hoped that the Marble Game will not only simplify blockchain technology at its best but would also take the said technology into the mainstream regardless of age.
And who knows the blockchain technology will liberate our society from being lured upon into a pot prize that only the rich man gets to enjoy.
