Developer nWay and the International Olympic Committee have made a free-to-play mobile game available and Olympic Games Jam: Beijing 2022 focuses on non-fungible tokens. The multiplayer game features NFTs that give players in-game advantages when competing in winter Olympic events such as Snowboard Cross, Ski Cross, Skeleton, Slopestyle, and Slalom.
After creating their avatar, players will be able to compete against other Olympic Games Jam: Beijing 2022 players in a series of randomized events, and they will be awarded a gold medal only if they are the last player standing.
The game helps to support nWay’s Olympic NFT digital pins, which give players better powers like being able to go faster, enhance their control, and better avoid obstacles.
