Y.GRAM Partners with The Sandbox to Host ‘Aeko and Friends’ Local Game Jam with 50,000 SAND in Rewards

SUNCHEON, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AekoAndFriends–Meta content company Y.GRAM has teamed up with the global Web3 metaverse platform The Sandbox to host the Numberland Game Jam centered around the upcoming EBS (Educational Broadcasting System)-aired meta animation IP, “Aeko and Friends.”
‘Aeko and Friends’ is a new type of educational meta animation where the world and characters of the math play animation ‘Aeko and Friends (Season 1, aired on EBS in 2019)’ IP are applied to the metaverse. Avatar players directly perform math game missions, such as number play, comparison, patterns, and classification, introducing gamification elements to make math learning enjoyable.
The Numberland Game Jam is a user-generated content (UGC) competition open to creators from The Sandbox. It is noteworthy as it represents the leading metaverse platform’s first local Game Jam in Korea. This event invites participants to use The Sandbox’s free 3D creation tools, VoxEdit and Game Maker, to create diverse metaverse game content based on the theme of “Aeko and Friends.” Participants will create immersive metaverse content based on the world and story of “Aeko and Friends,” to be featured in an upcoming EBS animation airing later this year. Submissions must be made online.
Registration for the Game Jam is open from August 1 to August 15, with submission dates from August 8 to August 29.
With a prize pool of 50,000 SAND, the Game Jam offers one of the largest rewards for a local event. Outstanding creators will receive a share of the 50,000 SAND prize pool, and non-winning entries may be considered for inclusion in Y.GRAM’s EBS animation and UGC content. Selected works might also be considered for publication in The Sandbox’s virtual world or as part of the EBS animation backdrop.
More details about the “Aeko and Friends” IP and the Numberland Game Jam theme can be found in the AMA (Ask Me Anything) video on The Sandbox’s official YouTube channel.
