Acki Nacki has unveiled the Popit Games Tournament 2025 with $1 million total prize pool. Registration for this highly anticipated event opens on April 1, with the three-day competition slated to commence in May 2025.
Game Overview and Tournament Structure
The Popit Game is a massively multiplayer roguelike deck-building card game that challenges players to create and complete “blocks.” Each block level, referred to as “Block Height,” requires players to exceed a Block Limit with a specified number of Tokens to progress. Tokens are awarded based on combinations of Popits—programmable sequences that can enhance player scores or hinder opponents.
What sets the Popit Game apart is its Turing completeness, offering deep strategic gameplay while maintaining the accessibility of traditional card games. This unique combination allows for intricate strategies without the complexity of a programming puzzle.
The tournament will feature two leaderboards: Individual and Team. Winners will be determined by the highest Block Height achieved within the time limit. For teams, rankings will be based on the average score of all members.
Prize Breakdown
The $1 million prize pool is allocated as follows:
- $100,000 in cash prizes for the top 16 individuals and teams
- $400,000 worth of Node Cores for places 1-1,000
- 100,000,000 Boosts for places 1-10,000
- Special POP Coins for all participants
- Secret surprise items for top winners
The top individual prize is $27,000, while the winning team will receive $18,000.
Participation Details
To ensure a level playing field, all participants will receive an identical Tournament Edition POP Coin Deck. While the standard Popit Game typically utilizes user-generated POP Coins with unique features, this special tournament deck guarantees fair competition.
Players can register through the official tournament website. Early access will be granted one week before the official start, allowing participants time for practice and strategy development. Team members can coordinate using communication tools like Discord.
The tournament will be streamed live on YouTube and Twitch, featuring professional commentators in multiple languages.
Background on Acki Nacki and Popit
Acki Nacki has been at the forefront of integrating blockchain technology with gaming. The Popit platform functions as a new social network where users can share photos and GIFs, which remain in the feed for 24 hours. Additionally, Popits are smart contracts containing images, text, or videos—essentially everything needed for a meme—stored on the blockchain, allowing a token to be more than just a currency.
In December, Acki Nacki launched a Winter Collection of cards, available to users who purchased Cores. This initiative showcased the platform’s commitment to blending digital collectibles with interactive gameplay.
The Rise of Roguelike Deck-Building Games
The Popit Game aligns with the growing popularity of roguelike deck-building games—a genre that combines card-based gameplay with procedural generation. Titles like “Slay the Spire” have set the standard, offering players a blend of strategy and unpredictability.
