Crypto: The Game

Crypto: The Game is an elimination game that takes place over 10 days, almost exclusively online. Players purchase an entry NFT for $200 in cryptocurrency and compete in challenges and puzzles to earn temporary immunity from elimination. The last player standing wins the $140,000 pot.

The game is a mix of skill and social gameplay, with players forming alliances and backstabbing each other to win. The journalist, who went undercover as 'Leo Westley', experienced the game firsthand and reported on the intense and exhausting experience.

The Game Experience

The journalist was assigned to the Gold Tribe and had to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries within the tribe. Players had to contribute to challenges and puzzles, and vote out other players to stay in the game. The journalist's experience was marked by moments of tension and excitement, as well as feelings of relief and disappointment.

The game changed dramatically on the eighth day, when all tribes were merged into one and players had to compete individually. The journalist was eventually eliminated, but not before experiencing the thrill of competition and the agony of defeat.

The Winner

The winner of the game was Ted, a player from California who had come in second place the previous season. Ted pitched voters on her redemption arc and won the $140,000 prize by a single vote.
