Pudgy Party Brings Penguins and Web3 Fun to Mobile Players

A Fresh Take on Party Games

Now available worldwide on iOS and Android, Pudgy Party brings the beloved Pudgy Penguins into a fast-paced multiplayer world filled with races, chaos, and laughter. Developed in partnership with Mythical Games—the studio behind Blankos Block Party, NFL Rivals, and FIFA Rivals—the new title merges fun party-style gameplay with smooth web3 integration.

At its core, Pudgy Party is about fast matches, silly mini-games, and a community-driven experience. Players dive into snowy arenas with customizable penguins, racing, dodging, and outsmarting rivals. With its lighthearted design, it’s approachable for all age groups, from casual players to dedicated gamers.

How Custom Penguins Take Center Stage

Customization is one of the game’s biggest draws. Players can outfit their penguins with unique skins, emotes, and accessories. Items come in two main forms:

• NATs (Non-Assignable Items): Standard, non-tradable gear.

• LEs (Limited Editions): Special tradable gear that can become NFTs.

The twist comes with the Talisman feature, which allows players to mint NATs into LEs. Once converted, they can be upgraded, fused, traded, or sold through Mythical’s in-game NFT marketplace.

This mix of fun cosmetic play and blockchain-backed ownership makes Pudgy Party a standout example of how blockchain games can add value without overcomplicating the player experience.

Blockchain Hidden in the Background

One of the most impressive aspects of Pudgy Party is how seamlessly it handles blockchain technology. Built on the Mythos Chain, powered by Polkadot, the game automatically creates a wallet for each new player. However, this process runs silently in the background—meaning users don’t need to understand wallets, private keys, or web3 jargon to enjoy the game.

As John Linden, CEO of Mythical Games, explains:

“Every player that comes in, they’re automatically onboarded into a wallet… most of them won’t even know about it.”

For players, the focus stays on having fun. For blockchain enthusiasts, though, the option to mint, trade, and collect rare NFTs is right there when they want it.

Season One: Dopameme Rush

The launch season, Dopameme Rush, leans into meme culture and viral internet humor. Costumes like John Pork, Tung Tung Sahur, and Ballerina Cappucina set the stage for quirky fun.

Each season follows a monthly cycle, with:

• Free and premium passes

• Global leaderboards

• Limited-time rewards

• Open tournaments for real-time competition

This setup keeps players engaged, whether they’re chasing leaderboard glory or just here for the laughs.

Pudgy Penguins Goes Mainstream

Pudgy Party isn’t launching in a vacuum—it’s part of a larger expansion of the Pudgy Penguins brand. Already, the IP has extended into toys sold at Walmart and Target, while the characters rack up billions of views on social media.

CEO Luca Netz envisions Pudgy Party becoming a major mobile hit:

“It has to have, at a minimum, tens of millions of players and downloads. My hope is we can actually push and make this a top app on the App Store, period.”

If that vision comes true, Pudgy Party could be one of the first blockchain games to truly break into the mainstream.

Building a Forever Franchise

Mythical Games and Pudgy Penguins aren’t just launching a seasonal game—they’re building for the long haul. Regular events, costumes, and tournaments are planned to keep the game fresh, while blockchain integration allows for a thriving digital economy behind the scenes.

As Linden puts it:

“We’re after building a forever franchise… something that can be around and played by literally hundreds of millions of people over a period of time.”

This strategy mirrors how successful franchises like Mario Party and Fall Guys have grown, but with the added twist of digital ownership and marketplace-driven engagement.

Easy Access for Everyone

One of Pudgy Party’s biggest strengths is accessibility. Players can download it for free from the Apple App Store or Google Play as of August 29. There’s no crypto wallet setup required, no barrier for casual gamers, and yet plenty of depth for web3 enthusiasts who want to mint and trade.

The game’s future looks bright—whether it’s through seasonal events, competitive tournaments, or live-streamed gameplay with popular creators. For both web2 and web3 audiences, Pudgy Party is shaping up to be a true bridge into the next generation of social gaming.
