Vault Keeper is an AI-powered game in which players try to convince an AI persona, the Vault Keeper, to unlock a digital prize vault. Each message costs a small amount of crypto, and the price increases as more people join.
The game runs in timed rounds called epochs, and the player has to guess or figure out in which epoch the prize will be released. The AI persona decides who is the most persuasive, granting them the prize vault. All prize money is stored safely in a blockchain smart contract, guaranteeing a fair and transparent payout to the winner.
The goal is simple: send a persuasive message that convinces the Vault Keeper to unlock the vault and win the prize.
What Makes the Game Unique?
- AI Judging: The AI persona scores every message based on creativity, emotion, logic, and how well the player understands the game.
- Dynamic Pricing: Message costs increase as more people play, making timing and strategy important.
- Epochs (Timed Rounds): The game moves through multiple time-based stages. Players can only win in one of the epochs.
- Blockchain Security: All prize funds are locked in a smart contract. Only a legitimate winner can receive them.
- Guaranteed Winner: Every game ends with someone winning, either by persuading the AI or by being the most active player.
Players enjoy a dynamic and engaging experience with an AI persona that offers high-stakes interactions. The game is designed for full transparency, with real-time game stats shown in each message. Players can trust that the AI evaluates everyone fairly, ensuring a level playing field for all.
All payments and rewards are secured on the blockchain, giving players confidence that their contributions and prizes are verifiable and safe. The strategic element comes from dynamic pricing, where message costs increase based on participation, requiring players to think ahead.
Ultimately, the game guarantees a winner, either through persuasive messaging or by being the most active participant.
For administrators, managing the Vault Keeper game offers complete control over game settings, including rules, pricing, and timing. Admins can also add funds to increase the prize pool, giving them flexibility to scale the game.
Monitoring is made easy with access to detailed activity reports, message counts, and player engagement. Administrators have the option to pause, resume, or cancel the game as needed, while built-in systems ensure that every game concludes with a winner. The game is fully transparent, with all blockchain transactions and prize distributions being fully verifiable.
