KAKA’s One Piece Mystery Boxes are Revealed to have High-value Hidden Gameplay

500 One Piece Mystery Boxes were sold within 2 hours of going online and sales exceeded 1000 in a single day. KAKA’s latest One Piece IP Mystery Boxes are selling like hot cakes on Bakeryswap!

I was bombarded by these bits and pieces of information from KAKA. Before I was able to recover from the atmosphere of community announcements and media cheering for this wave of NFT Mystery Boxes that use the industry’s innovative reopening gameplay system, which was also widely praised by many users across the globe as a genesis-level gameplay, KAKA unexpectedly broke out a new hidden gameplay layer. KAKA NFT WORLD, which has always been a global IP aggregation platform, is known for providing valuable games and quickly nabbing the licensing from high-quality IPs, has spent serious money to build the most powerful anime and gaming IP matrix in the circle. KAKA has entered the current global NFT brand IP war, and is firmly occupying the leading platform of anime and game IPs.

Its platform currently has the licensing of multiple characters from Paul Frank, Saint Seiya, One Piece and several other large IPs. This revealed the powerful strength behind the platform and its ambitions in this field.

This time, KAKA and Binance’s NFT trading platform Bakeryswap released the international IP One Piece’s Mystery Boxes. All 20 One Piece characters from its latest chapters will be sold in a limited edition of the character card NFT Mystery Boxes (with KAKA NFT basing these on limited edition physical cards licensed by the IP’s owner).

The most eye-catching is the Mystery Boxes’ gameplay system. It breaks the current industry status quo for Mystery Box gameplay and innovates the world’s first smart contract Mystery Box that supports reopening gameplay. After purchasing the Mystery Box, users only need to go to KAKA’s official website; holders can get the opportunity to reopen for free by owning KAKA’s Metaverse key. You have a certain chance to evolve the character in your hand into a rarer SSR-level rare card (all cards issued by KAKA will get the official 80% guarantee repurchase, and the value of SSR cards can be as high as 1000%). However, do note that at the same time, there will be a chance of destroying the NFT in the process.

Risks and rewards coexist, depending on whether you are a conservative or want to upgrade the value of the card in your hand by taking the risk and try to challenge your fortunes for a precious SSR-level card for the second time.

During my experiences with the game, I found this mechanism to be extremely interesting. Currently, many Mystery Boxes in the industry are played by selling NFT products, and then waiting for the corresponding time to convert it into concrete value. KAKA allows users to save the waiting time this time around and reopen. With the direct opportunity to increase the value of the Mystery immediately, do they have some special plan behind it all?

It wasn’t until their hidden gameplay layer was revealed that we could finally glimpse a thing or two.

By carefully looking at KAKA’s official website (kakanft.com) and entering the event page of One Piece, I found that after the Mystery Box was opened, the countdown function on the official website unveiled this layer of hidden gameplay.

If you understand the history of blockchain games, you will find this countdown quite familiar. A closer look at the rules and consequences verified my hunch and I was quite impressed by KAKA’s gameplay this time around. They implemented the FOMO mechanism this time. For veteran blockchain game players, this is simply a feature that they have been long looking forward to. The much-anticipated FOMO function has finally joined the Mystery Box gameplay.

With the reopening + FOMO mechanisms, the value that users can obtain in the blockchain games is constantly redeemed, which greatly shows KAKA’s ambition to make the product an industry lead.

What is FOMO?

FOMO gameplay originally came from a blockchain game in Russia in 2018 that buys treasure box keys.

This is a blockchain game that features countdown and treasure chests. Players can get the bonus in the treasure chest by buying the key and opening it again. Whenever a user buys a key, in addition to the price of the key increasing a bit, the countdown will also be reset. Only when the countdown is over, the last user who bought the key can get the entire sum of loot in the treasure chest. Of course, the specific rules are more detailed and complicated.

This game is well-discussed by many game theory researchers and players because it is not just an attempt to play on-chain games but can also be seen as a social experiment in psychology. Today, KAKA’s product team has finally included FOMO gameplay in its continuous efforts to innovate Mystery Box gameplay, which can only be described as a very important step in experimentation and breakthrough.

So, how does KAKA’s reopen system work with FOMO? Does it have the potential to exceed the predecessor? What are the innovations this time around?

By studying the rules of this event closely, we can see that the process is something like this:

First, you need to purchase the limited-edition One Piece Mystery Box that KAKA and Bakery collaborated with through Bakeryswap.

Secondly, you need to have KAKA’s Metaverse key, which can be purchased on KAKA’s official website. Pay close attention that the Metaverse key is sold in Ethereum. Before purchasing, you must confirm that there are enough ETH handling fees and 199 USDT in your wallet.

There are many membership systems out there, but KAKA’s Metaverse Key cannot simply be described as a membership system alone. The address with this ERC-721 rule-based key can receive KAKA’s Mystery Box airdrops for free from time to time. With regards to KAKA’s consistent Mystery Box pricing, three airdrops can basically pay back the cost. There are also many other exclusive long-term benefits for users who hold the key in the later stages, which is a worthy investment-output ratio.

When you own a One Piece Mystery Box and open it in BakerySwap. If you don’t have a character card with a good rarity (such as SSR level), then you can go to the official website to reopen it.

Log on to KAKA’s official website (kakanft.com), link your wallet in the upper right corner and enter your profile, remember to switch the ETH network to let KAKA know that you have the Key. Find your One Piece card in your profile, click on it and you will see an upgrade button, this is the “reopen” button. After clicking on it, the system will perform a random replacement of your NFT through the smart contract, but it may also be destroyed completely in the process, so you need to consider this as a potential risk.

So where is the FOMO mechanism?

KAKA set aside 1% of the sales amount as the amount in the prize pool for this event. After you purchase the Mystery Box and commit to reopening it, you will be automatically entered into this event. You can go to KAKA’s One Piece page to check, and the wallet address of the last user that reopened will be displayed right below the countdown. If no one else reopens before the expiration of the countdown, and the wallet address is yours, then you get to keep all the prize and goodies in the KAKA One Piece Blind Box prize pool (even if your reopening item is destroyed, the system will log your address and you can still get bonus).

This is a game of chances, but it also has high returns. If you are lucky enough, you will get all the bonuses in the prize pool as well as SSR rarity cards, if and only if the last wallet address is yours.

Unlike the previous FOMO mechanisms, KAKA’s gameplay this time shows greater value, which is exactly where the trend of blockchain games is going.

Blockchain games have been working hard to convey its value to everyone over the years. I hope that the public will learn more about blockchain games and participate in these blockchain games. KAKA dares to break and innovate. By using innovative Mystery Box “reopening” gameplay and the well-known FOMO mechanism in the industry, KAKA aims to achieve true growth for blockchain games and bring real value to their users.

I believe that if all games provide users with real value like KAKA, the era of mass development for blockchain games won’t be far behind. Let us wait and see!
