Gala Games (GALA) has announced more than $4 million in prizes during the month of May. This article explains how you can participate in the so-called May Mayhem and what you need to do to earn extra cash.

Whether it’s spring for you in the northern hemisphere or fall in the south, it’s time for Gala’s favourite month. After the epic events of last year’s inaugural May Mayhem Town Star tournament, we couldn’t help dubbing May a month of celebration for Gala Games.

What are we celebrating? This is the fun part. We’re celebrating you, our incredible, caring and devoted community. We’re dipping into the plentiful coffers of the thriving business you have made possible and taking out more than $4 million to share directly with you for participating and competing throughout the month of May.

With your help and support, we have created the beginning of something magical: A Web3 entertainment company that gives out even more than it makes. In 2021, we distributed over $2 billion in value to members of our Ecosystem. Now as Gala continues to expand, so do the rewards, and in May, we honor those who made it all possible: The players.

What Rewards MAY Come?

What is May Mayhem? How can you, average Gala Games community member, take full advantage and give yourself the best possible chance of rewards during this month of festivities?

We’ll break it down for you very simply right here.

Play Town Star

Gala’s flagship game of town and city builders has been rewarding NFT owners with the game’s reward token (TOWN) for over seven months now. Soon, with the addition of borrowing and lending, even free players will have the opportunity to participate in earnings with Town Star. That update is on the horizon for later in the year, and for now the buzz is all about Town Star May Mayhem competition!

Each week of May, Town Star will host a new competition with a large number of GALA prizes on the line and available to all players. In total, $2 million will be given away to Town Star players for the May Mayhem tournaments.

The first weekly Town Star competition will run May 3–9, so get your Town Star NFT collection ready!

Refer New Players

The referral race is on, with special promotions in both Town Star and Spider Tanks for the entire month of May.

Your Referral Link can be found in the SOCIAL area of your Gala Games account, as pictured below.

Just copy the link, then share it with your friends or in your original content on the platform of your choice.

Town Star

Collect 10 Town Star referrals during May to get awarded a special Feed Bot NFT that will help you with one of the most important jobs in the game! You’ll see a counter of your progress in the game. Remember, referrals must play the game in order to count toward your reward!

Spider Tanks

Spider Tanks is running a weekly referral competition in May, with a prize pool in GALA that increases each week until the end of the month.

To qualify for each week’s distribution, you must refer 6 players and each of them must win at least one match. Then at the end of the week, the total prize pool is distributed evenly among those who qualified that week.

Week 1 — $100,000 in GALA — May 2–8

Week 2 — $115,000 in GALA — May 9–15

Week 3 — $135,000 in GALA — May 16–22

Week 4 — $150,000 in GALA — May 23–29

Play Spider Tanks

Each week, Spider Tanks will run a $250,000 prize pool tournament, with prizes paid out after the tournaments’ end in GALA.

Players will qualify for the Week 1 Spider Tanks tournament by having the highest numbers for played matches, regardless of win/loss rate. 50% of the prize pool will go to the top 2% of battlers, and the remaining 50% will go to 3–10%.

The winners of the Week 2 tournament will be determined by the highest numbers of wins. Exact distribution amounts will also be affected by rarities of Tanks played.

To qualify for the Week 3 prizes, players will have to achieve MVP status.

Finally, in Week 4, the winners will be those with the greatest winning record with at least 10 matches played.

There MAY be More

Don’t worry, we only used “May” for the sake of the pun. There most definitely will be more. As you may have already noticed, we like to move quickly at Gala Games, and a month is a long time.

Certain in-game NFT owners in various upcoming titles will be surprised with random drops of exclusive new NFTs throughout the month. You never know when holding Gala NFTs will earn you sudden and seemingly random rewards.

Look for additional playtests among other titles, and maybe even some additional GALA-on-the-line competitions. After all, we’re giving away $4 million in GALA. You’ll want as much as possible of that to become yours.

Consider this your official kickoff! Welcome to May with Gala Games… We hope you enjoy the Mayhem!
