Welcome to the Linea Guild Games (LGG)! Throughout Culture SZN in July, Lineans voted for their favorite web3 communities on Linea. In the end, five winners emerged, crowned as the first ever Linea Guilds. Now, four of these projects  are going head-to-head as guilds in a gaming and community-first experience.

The nine-day challenge kicks off on September 18. Players will choose to join one of the four guilds and mint a companion to your Game7 avatar. This fox, penguin, or frog will serve as an entry ticket to the game. Players and their guild play the Unfettered Awakening, competing for a prize pool of $100,000 in ETH from Linea that will be split $50K between top players and $50K top guilds. Additionally, $SOULS from Unfettered, $FOXY, $WEF, and $LINUS are all part of the prize pool. Individuals will receive daily rewards from this prize pool and the winning guild will receive a pot of ETH to be spent and shared as a community.

LGG is not an LXP event. Yes, you read that right. We heard you and listened. It's just gaming for fun, you know, like the old days. Meet new friends, play online, and win together!

Here’s everything you need to know about the Linea Guild Games.

The Linea Guild games are made possible through collaboration from top gaming builders on Linea.

Awakening is a rogue like shoot 'em up Web3 game live on HyperPlay and deployed exclusively on Linea by Unfettered Ecosystem. Unfettered Ecosystem was chosen as the first LGG partner because of its Linea-only gamefi ecosystem and the positive feedback we received from the Linea community around their gameplay. Unfettered Ecosystem has an exciting roadmap of upcoming games exclusively on Linea, and LGG is just an introduction.

The web3 native game launcher and marketplace will create our gaming repository for the Linea Guild Games and launch infrastructure. HyperPlay already features over 90 web3 games and features current MetaMask standards. HypePlay’s proven infrastructure and standards, strong user base and trusted name make them an ideal partner of the Games. Hyperplay will be launching its in-browser capabilities, giving gamers the best experience during LGG!

Game7 operates a gaming-native, questing platform, and LGG will be featured on its new Lootdrop system. Users will mint an avatar, then mint a companion based on their guild selection. These furry friends will remain with you beyond Linea Guild Games so you can continue to enjoy them after the tournament!

For the Linea Guild Games, you can choose to join one of four NFT/meme communities on Linea. Choose your Guild wisely! You will be playing alongside each other to win the grand prize together.

• Efrogs: The cute, sunshine-on-my shoulder guild! Croak believes in living life on his own cute terms, unbound by conventions. He always wears a smile and spreads good vibes wherever he goes. Croak embraces the present moment, appreciating the simple pleasures in life, like a perfect wave or a sunset. If you are up for a good time, some surfing before sunrise, and embracing the cute energies of life—Croak is your guild.

• Foxy: The bold, risk taking adventurous guild. Foxy is a rule breaker, innovator and adventurous maverick. He sees the potential in everything and everyone and is always willing to help, in style. Just like Crypto did for the world, Foxy is here to blaze a new path forward for memes. Beat the odds and look good while doing it. Win as a community, a fox is only as strong as its den. If you’re a trailblazer, this guild is for you.

• FrogwifCat: The weird, slightly crazy, counterculture guild. $WEF is meme culture all the way. Your parents won’t understand this and probably shake their heads. This is about wack, out-there fun, weird humor. From spongebob, over Lord of the Rings to the Ninja Turtles, no cliche is too big for this guild. If you love new age meme stuff, have a wack sense of humor and enjoy colorful deranged culture, this guild is for you.

• Linus Guild: The cynical, sharp-witted, tech savvy guild. Linus is a laid-back, slightly cynical, yet sharp-witted penguin. He’s a tech-savvy blockchain, crypto, and gaming enthusiast. He enjoys downtime, possibly indulging in a smoke, and takes life at his own pace. He dislikes the establishment and all conventions. Join the Linus Guild to take things easy and do things your way. Things will fall in place.
