Player guide

How the beta actually works.

This is the plain-English walkthrough for new players: setup, stake, the daily run, missed-day penalties, and what changes after the season ends. You can still join mid-season while active play is open.

The 7 plus 3 season loop

Every epoch is a seven-day active run followed by a three-day refresh window. Each Mom NFT is its own seat. During active days you play the reveal. During refresh days you trade, settle, claim, or revive compromised seats for the next run.

One season position per Mom NFT seat for the current epoch
Web play and phone wallet play hit the same live season
Play shows the exact setup gates for this beta before you try to stake
Refresh days block play, keep trading and revive open, and leave claims locked until close plus finalization

Tommy mascot art: Tommygraduate — What happens in a daily match

What happens in a daily match

The revealed scenario tells you how Tommy is trying to date your mom today. You respond with exactly five counters. Each counter hits a lane, has cooldown, and can either stop Tommy cleanly or backfire.

Five counters required, no blanks
Resolver checks lane match, cooldown, and score modifiers
Bad choices can still push Tommy closer to a daily loss

Tommy mascot art: Tommybowler — How score and streak work

How score and streak work

Daily wins score based on difficulty, streak pressure, underdog status, and how cleanly you read the scenario. Clean runs and humiliation finishes matter. Daily losses wipe the day’s score and can collapse streak momentum.

Perfect reads and humiliation finishes boost payout position
Underdog stake sizes get a bonus lane in the scoring model
The same locked content pack powers preview and real play

Tommy mascot art: Tommyconstruction — What happens if you miss a day

What happens if you miss a day

Missed days do not just disappear. They must be settled before certain actions unlock again. Settlement can slash your stake, pay a keeper bounty, fund the prize pool, and burn part of the penalty.

You may need to settle before playing again
You may need to settle before claiming or unstaking
Compromised seats can later be revived during refresh, but the scar stays

How the season ends

After active play ends, the refresh window opens. When refresh ends, the season closes, the winner artifact gets published, and eligible seats can finally claim on the claim page.

Wait through refresh before epoch fully closes
Leaderboard stays read-only until winners are actually published
Roots have to be finalized on-chain before payout opens
Eligible seats claim once the proof is available on /claim

What you need before first match
