If you're sleeping on the Starknet gaming scene, you're missing out.
For instance, I've been having a blast in Eternum since the launch of Season 1 gameplay last week.
Yet beyond entertainment, there's also serious earning potential here. Eternum is offering 1M $LORDS and 100k $STRK in prizes for S1 achievements, and there's still time to jump in.
That's around $45,000 USD that's up for grabs, but it's also not the only prize pool available to Starknet gamers right now.
That's because last week gg.xyz—a community launchpad and onchain discovery hub—kicked off its Starknet Gaming Edition One campaign featuring $100k USD worth of prizes.
Participating in the campaign, which is running from May 15th to June 15th, is straightforward.
First, you'd need to mint a Quest ID on gg's website. Press “Log In” and sign in with your wallet of choice, then you'll immediately be prompted to pick a username and create your ID.
Next, you'll need to link your Cartridge Controller account to your profile. Click on your address on gg, then click the Cartridge icon. Doing this brings up an interface where you can create a Controller or sign in with your existing one.
Now the idea is to complete achievement quests for XP points in any of the campaign's 6 featured games, which you can find on gg.xyz/starknet or on the “Dashboard” tab of gg. These points will be used to allocate prize earnings after June 15th.
As for where to play, the highlighted titles that you can quest-to-earn in here include:
🏰 Eternum — A multiplayer strategy game (Website | X | Quests)
⚔️ Blob Arena — An arcade-style blob battler (Website| X | Quests)
🔫 Pistols at Dawn — A 1v1 pistol dueling arena (Website| X | Quests)
🎴 Dark Shuffle — A roguelike deck-building game (Website | X | Quests)
🃏 Jokers of Neon — A strategy card battler (Website| X| Quests)
🧊 Zkube — A mobile casual puzzle game (Website| X| Quests)
The campaign quests you'll encounter for these games will range from simple, like trying Arcade Mode 5x in Blob Arena, to complex, like contributing resources to a Hyperstructure in Eternum.
If you plan on diving in, start with the basic achievements and work your way up from there, then stay tuned for updates from gg.xyz on the rewards distribution after the questing period ends next month.
Lastly, while you work through these quests consider connecting your Cartridge Controller account to the Cartridge Arcade, which spotlights games built with the onchain Dojo game engine on Starknet.

All 6 of the games featured in the gg Edition One campaign are also supported in the Arcade, so as you quest for rewards you can simultaneously knock out achievements for your Arcade profile.
This way, if you plan on spending more time in the Starknet gaming scene, you can have a central profile hub that tracks all your gaming accomplishments across the top Starknet games!
