New Booster Mechanics
The Builders’ Challenge 2 introduces new reward mechanics:
- Simplified Formula: Rewards are given out two times a week from a 300,000 $SAND pool based on the engagement score of the experience.
- Experience Boosters: New experiences, multiplayer games, and those incorporating branded assets will boost engagement scores by 50%. Combining these can net you a 150% boost.
Reward Distribution
The Engagement Score, calculated by multiplying the mean time spent in each session with the number of players who have completed at least one quest, determines your position in the contest. Your game needs at least 10 distinct players to interact with it each week to qualify for prizes. The leaderboard and the rewards that go with each rank are shared every week on The Sandbox Forum, with prizes being given out every two weeks.
