Lost Dogs And The $WOOF Airdrop: All You Need To Know

‘Lost Dogs’ is a Telegram-based game developed by Notcoin in collaboration with NFT marketplace Getgems. The game completed its first airdrop in September and is planning to launch its season 2 airdrop in November. 

Telegram mini-games on TON are becoming creative. The simple tap-to-earn mechanism is evolving, and newer projects are introducing diverse gameplay options to keep users engaged. Lost Dogs is one of the latest projects on TON that’s abandoned the repetitive tap-to-earn model for more competitive task-based gameplay.

‘Lost Dogs’ is a story-driven game available on Telegram, developed by Notcoin in collaboration with Lost Dogs Co. and the NFT marketplace Getgems. Unlike the traditional tap-to-earn model of Hamster Kombat, this game immerses players in a six-week narrative where daily decisions influence the storyline. Players engage by voting on choices that affect the journey of dog-themed characters, each represented by NFTs from the Lost Dogs collection.

Key gameplay elements

• Daily Decision-making: Players choose from multiple options each day, directly impacting the narrative and the development of their characters.
• Squad formation: Players can form squads to collaborate on decisions. Unanimous choices within a squad yield additional bonuses, promoting teamwork and strategic planning.
• Token rewards: Active participation and successful decision-making earn players Notcoin’s native token, $NOT, and a new in-game currency, $WOOF. These tokens are awarded based on the popularity of choices and other in-game actions.
• Character evolution: Characters evolve throughout the game, gaining special powers and achieving “celebrity” status as the story progresses.

The game emphasizes community interaction, allowing players to form squads, invite friends, and collectively make decisions that shape the narrative. This approach fosters a dynamic and engaging experience, moving beyond simple clicker mechanics to offer a more immersive and interactive gameplay.

How to play Lost Dogs on Telegram?

To play Lost Dogs, one has to access its Telegram bot and connect their TON wallets. Each competitive cycle or season in the game lasts for six-week. Players aim to predict daily outcomes (“Rounds”) by selecting cards, with no random elements influencing results.

1. Round objectives and card selection: Each round, players receive a goal: Identify the least popular, average, or most popular card based on BONES points. Players choose one of three cards and wager their BONES, increasing the card’s popularity.
2. Winning and rewards: Correctly predicting the card matching the round’s objective earns $NOT and $WOOF rewards. Players can exchange $NOT for BONES to increase their potential winnings.
3. Result calculation: After each round, results are calculated. Players see which card met the objective and receive their rewards.

The game also has a competitive progression system. Higher leagues grant higher $WOOF rewards, scaling benefits for daily participation and success. This system encourages consistent play, strategic collaboration, and progression through active participation.
