Inviting my followers and @aphweb3 fam to play @PartyIconsOGX Open Beta with me🔫 • Game Download (PC) • Create an Account • How to Start Playing? • AI EKKO Mask Mode • Core Game Loop • Ken Game Tips An onboarding guide🧵

What an amazing week for Web3 gaming. @PartyIconsOGX is back! This game made me quit League 1.5 years ago. It’s THAT good. So I made a video on everything you need to know about the game and this beta: Agentic gameplay Play-to-airdrop competition Risk-to-earn PvP with USDT 🖤

PARTY ICONS OPEN BETA PRE-SEASON servers open Monday, May 18. 👾 Seasonal Leaderboards, Bounty Hunts, and Diamond Rush events go live May 20. Jump in anytime. Every match is its own shot at winning. EKKO Alpha gave us the proof: AI Agents work. Players trust them. And when the upside is real, things get spicy fast. Players trained Agents, adjusted loadouts, chose their risk, chased bigger multipliers, and trusted AI with higher-value decisions. 37% of all sessions became Diamond sessions, with Diamond players showing 3.6x higher engagement than Gold session players. So now we’re taking that loop into Pre-Season: bigger, louder, and open to everyone. Your Agent grinds. You control the risk. Every successful extraction can pay off. No endless grind required. Markets move. Builders SHIP. And yes, Party Icons is somehow still standing — still funding seasonal play, still shipping new systems, and still giving players and communities a reason to PARTY. Join our Discord to find out how to play, get updates, and investigate how we’re still alive ❓ Pre-Season begins May 18. Drop in when you want. Extract what you can. 💎

👾EKKO Alpha was a small test, but an important one. We kept this sprint intentionally tight: 15 guilds, 5 days, because what we wanted to test wasn’t scale. It was something more fundamental: Would players actually trust AI agents enough to risk real value on them? The answer was YES. And more than that, once players leaned in, they went deep. 37% of all sessions were high-stakes (Diamond sessions), and those players showed 3.6x higher engagement than Gold session players. That’s a strong signal for us: this isn’t just a novelty mechanic. It’s a loop players are willing to commit to. What surprised us even more was who leaned in. We thought highly skilled players might resist the idea of AI playing for them. Instead, many of them embraced it. They trained agents, refined loadouts, and treated their AI as an extension of their own strategy. You can see it in the behavior -- Mask Mode almost doubled daily playtime: 253 mins vs 124 mins for regular players. AI sessions didn’t push players away --they pulled them in deeper. And yes -- the upside was real, and it got spicy fast! - 37.7x single-session payout multiplier - 17,200 Diamonds extracted in one single extraction - 165,940 Diamonds earned by the top Diamond player in 5 days These aren’t just flashy stats -- they show players were willing to trust AI, invest time into training it, and risk real value because the reward on the other side felt worth chasing. That’s what makes us so excited for what comes next: bringing the scale and energy of our CB3 X-League model together with AI-driven gameplay and a major prize pool. 💎💎 This was the first proof point. Now we refine. Open Beta is around the corner. If your guild wants in, join our Discord or hit up our team members tagged -- official partners will receive exclusive welcome packs. 🎁 Finally, thank you to all our EKKO Alpha participants and the @ekko_engine team. See y'all soon! 🫰

GM CT 🌹 The game that pulled me into Web3 gaming @PartyIconsOGX is back. Last time I played I finished rank 1 and made $20k . But the real reward was discovering blockchain… and the friends I met along the way 🖤 (cheesy, I know) Now they’re experimenting with AI agents. A short beta runs until the 17th, testing it in-game with @ekko_engine ahead of a larger beta with a massive prize pool. Guess what I'm doing this weekend 🖤

maybe you are born a commandooor who knows 👉👈

In just a few hours… an EPIC 5-day battle grind begins. ⚔️🔥 The EKKO AI Alpha Test is about to open. 🎮 TPS combat 💰 Extraction gameplay 🧠 AI powered chaos And yes… Brgy Tamago is entering the battlefield. 🥚⚔️ Time to hunt. Time to extract. Time to dominate. Party Icons is BACK. @PartyIconsOGX @ekko_engine #EkkoAI #GameFi #PlayToEarn #BrgyTamago

Meet @ekko_engine! This isn’t an AI that follows orders. This is an AI that makes calls. EKKO turns intel into decisions, weighs risk vs reward, and knows when it’s time to extract — even when you don’t. In Party Icons, EKKO can be your Marauder, your Teammate, or your Assistant. Personality defines how it plays today, and what it can become tomorrow. When EKKO takes on a life of its own, play evolves — and your game levels up.

CB2 was proof of fun. CB3? Proof of community. ...and how did we do? An honest review — In CB2, our retention and playtime (in other words, stickiness) showed how we far outperformed gaming industry benchmarks and the strength of our core game loop. This season, we put that stickiness to the test: running our core game modes (Party Heist, a PvPvE extraction shooter with hero progression & Carnival Clash, 20 casual party games with heavier RNG mix) inside a risk-to-earn event model. And once again, the community rallied — building a $214,000 prize pool funded entirely by players (okay… with a little $40K boost from us 😉). ZERO house cut. Pure risk-to-earn. Which meant — naturally — there were winners and there were losers. What the stats showed us: Stickier than ever: CB3 Day 7 retention = CB2 Day 2. 🔥 Scale & Volume: Total Match Entries: 67% increase Loot Boxes Opened: nearly 3x NPCs Killed: 2.2x Healthier player monetization: % paying users dipped, while ARPPU rose. Thanks to our Mask & Marauder role-based system distributing resources more efficiently between investors/spenders and skilled players & grinders. Our most delightful surprise? Zero to hero grassroots triumphs. the #1 Player and #2 Guild on the CB3 leaderboards were CB2 community leaders we watched grow from humble beginnings to true north stars, outcompeting (and often offering pro tips to) long-established whales 🐳& guilds ⚔️. And their triumph revealed something bigger: In Party Icons, strategy matters, but teamwork & trust are golden currencies. These leaders credit their CB3 success not just to skill, but to teamwork that crossed continents, languages, cultures, and servers. Our M&M role system and contracts made it possible — but it was the friendships forged in Party Icons that turned cooperation into victory. But it isn’t all perfect, we had a lot to learn: 1 - Stock/share mechanic too front-loaded: early buyers dominated, latecomers had no way to catch up. Lesson: dynamic adjustments to keep mid/late entries meaningful (purchase caps, late-entry perks, steeper slopes). 2 - Our punishment mechanics. We designed them with good intentions — high risk, high reward, encouraging players to think twice before making moves. But in practice, the penalties were too heavy. For highly active players, this meant enthusiasm cratered in the later stages of CB3. The rules hit different types of players very unevenly: Independent paying players (who bought tickets themselves) felt the harshest squeeze, both financially and psychologically. Guild-backed F2P marauders playing on gifted X-Pass contracts & tickets took almost no financial risk — which meant they could afford to go all-in and gamble harder. The same system ended up widening the gap, punishing some more than others. Our reflection: rules that are equal on paper don’t always land equally in practice. Next time, we need smarter balancing that accounts for player type and cost structure, so risk feels fair across the board. 3 - Some players believed playing well should equal “profit,” but strategy investment mattered more and risk ≠ guaranteed profit. Even skilled players could lose out on their ROI if they didn’t invest wisely. That’s the harsh truth of the system, and we could’ve done a better job educating our community of the real risks and mechanism implications (and strategies). Still, fairness needs work. We’ll keep refining so every type of player — mask, marauder, solo — has real opportunity. Internally, we’re also exploring deeper optimizations in gameplay and event mechanics as we head towards BETA1 this fall. 🍂🎮🏆 The bigger picture? If CB2 proved our gameplay was fun and sticky, CB3 showed how far a strong community can go (and grow) when we give you the tools and the support. And our community of legends — united by trust, rivalry, and sheer creativity — proved that together, they can shape their own game and its future. Next up: the ceremony begins. 🏆✨ 1️⃣ CB3 Legends — OGX rewards! Lvl 7 BETA1 gift packs! 2️⃣ Top Guilds — the top 50 who are splitting the 1M $PARTY for their war chests. 3️⃣ Creator Rewards Pt. 2 — more surprises, more $RON!! 4️⃣ Top 100 Players — the seasonal hall of fame.

I’m just a no-aim player who played @PartyIconsOGX for fun. Back in CBT2, I never imagined I’d establish or manage a guild. All I knew was that the game was fun, and I enjoyed playing with strangers—strangers who would later become friend and SEA’s final bosses: @khimtana17414 and @Martinsuuuu

🎬when the Miragio theme song started playing I became a bit emotional😭(though I sometimes turn it off😳)
