Satsman is adding another feature to its growing platform: the Sats Edu-Cade, a new arcade-style gaming area where members can play games, compete for prizes and have a bit of fun (or go completely crazy) along the way.
I've been trying out the new pinball game, though I'm no Pinball Wizard by an means - as the video reveals.
Welcome to the Sats Edu-Cade
The name is a play on the word arcade, with a little Bitcoin education thrown into the mix.
Before entering the arcade, players must first answer a multiple-choice question about Bitcoin. Get the answer right and you're in!
It's a simple idea, but it gives the arcade an educational element. Even something as straightforward as answering a Bitcoin question before playing a game helps reinforce knowledge about Bitcoin.
Once inside, you can choose your game and start playing. Right now there's only pinball. New games will be added each week.
How Does the Sats Edu-Cade Work?
There are a couple of important differences between the arcade and the existing Mission games on Satsman.
First, you can play the arcade games as many times as you like. You're not restricted to a single daily attempt, so you can keep playing and try to improve your score.
However, there's a competitive element too.
At the end of each day, only the three highest-scoring players receive satoshi rewards. So, while everyone can enjoy the games, only the top three make it onto the daily winners' list.
This makes the arcade rather different from the regular Mission games, SatsCipher and SatsStack, where members earn satoshi when they complete the games.
The Sats Edu-Cade appears to be another feature reserved for Pro Max members, adding to the benefits of the upgraded membership.
More Than Just Another Way to Earn Sats
I think the interesting thing about this development is that Satsman isn't simply adding another task or mission to complete.
The arcade brings an entertainment element to the platform. It's something members can return to throughout the day, whether they're trying to beat their previous score, get into the top three to win satoshi prizes, or simply enjoy a few minutes' fun playing their favourite game.
Satsman is developing into something more than a collection of daily Bitcoin earning activities. From the start Satsman's mission has been to educate people about Bitcoin while giving them a way to earn sats whether as free or upgraded members. This new games arcade retains an educational aspect - you have to answer a question about Bitcoin to get in - but it greatly increases the "gamification" side of Satsman.
I'm looking forward to trying out the other games as they come on stream. Here's a sneak peak at what's coming:
