What Is ‘Rocky Rabbit’? The Telegram Tap-to-Earn Game and Airdrop Details - Decrypt
09/03/2024 15:04Rocky Rabbit is the latest buzzy Telegram game to draw millions of players ahead of its airdrop. Here’s what you need to know.
Amid the success of Hamster Kombat, there’s a new wave of Telegram tap-to-earn games that are remixing and building upon that premise—such as the Elon Musk-themed X Empire, as well as Rocky Rabbit.
Like Hamster Kombat, Rocky Rabbit builds out more of a game around its core screen-tapping premise, letting you invest your in-game earnings to train a musclebound bunny, invest in business ventures, and beyond. And apparently, the game will add some sort of battle functionality in the future.
Rocky Rabbit has announced its token launch and airdrop for late September, around the same time as Hamster Kombat, which means time is running out for players to jump in, power up their rabbit hero, and potentially earn a share of the initial airdrop.
Here’s what you need to know about Rocky Rabbit, how to play it, and plans around the RabBitcoin (RBTC) game token.
What is Rocky Rabbit?
Rocky Rabbit is a tap-to-earn game built within a mini app on the messaging platform Telegram. Like previous games of this ilk such as Notcoin and Hamster Kombat, players can earn in-game coins simply by tapping a large icon on the screen—in this case, an emblem of a buff bunny.
But there’s a lot more to Rocky Rabbit than just tapping. To really maximize your earnings and take the onus off of constant tapping, you can invest your earned coins into training activities for your fighter, as well as investing into venture opportunities. In doing so, you’ll create passive income that is earned even when you’re not tapping, and even when you are offline.
It’s still essentially a menu-driven, number-go-up game, albeit with a different vibe than Hamster Kombat. But like that game, your earned coins will play into the upcoming token airdrop.
According to the developers, Rocky Rabbit has attracted over 25 million players as of September 1.
How to play Rocky Rabbit
Rocky Rabbit is played within the Telegram app on iOS and Android, and the tapping part of the game is straightforward and obvious. The rest takes place within the “Mine” menu at the bottom of the screen, which is where you’ll find various upgrades to invest coins into, as well as free coin bounties to claim.
For the upgrades, you’re effectively spending money to make money. By spending your earned in-game coins on training activities, venture investment opportunities, and entering tournaments, your fighter will thus earn more passive income without you needing to tap the screen. That includes earning coins for three hours after you sign off, though the length can also be increased over time by spending—you guessed it—more in-game coins.
Meanwhile, you can snag loads of free coins each day under the Claim menus in both the Fighter and Coach categories. Simply tap each training activity to collect the coins. Each will refresh after 24 hours, letting you claim it again.
Rocky Rabbit also includes multiple opportunities to earn millions of free coins daily through the daily SuperSet—a combo of three activities—as well as the daily Enigma puzzle, where you must arrange 12 words in the correct order. Those grant you 2 million and 2.5 million coins daily, respectively. We have a daily-updated guide to help you solve both puzzles.
When is the airdrop?
It’s nearly here: Rocky Rabbit will launch its RabBitcoin (RBTC) token on The Open Network (TON) on September 23, with a tweet noting that it will be “listed on major exchanges.” That’s likely the date that the token will be airdropped to players, as well.
Rocky Rabbit has yet to detail how the token will be allocated to players based on their gameplay, though an “Airdrop” screen in the game mentions that players can “Earn by fighting in battle.” However, the Battle mode has yet to launch, with the “Battle” screen in the menu simply showing a building like the Roman Colosseum with the messages, “Are you ready?” and “Coming soon.”
However, the “fighting” message is listed ahead of the airdrop and token listing, suggesting that the launch of the Battle mode is imminent. Stay tuned as more details come about the Rocky Rabbit token and airdrop ahead of September 23.
