Wizzwoods Raises Ten Million for Growth

The world of web3 gaming just got a fresh spark of excitement. Wizzwoods, a cross-chain idle farming adventure that blends strategy, DeFi, and multiplayer gameplay, has secured $10 million in Series A funding. With Animoca Brands and Infinity Ventures Crypto leading the round, the project is signaling that it’s ready to take a big step forward.

This news arrives at a perfect time—right after the team’s token generation event (TGE) earlier this year—which means Wizzwoods now has both capital and a live economy working in sync. Let’s dive into what makes this game stand out and why investors are betting big on its vision.

What Is Wizzwoods?

Wizzwoods is an open-world farming and strategy game built for the next generation of web3 players. Rather than sticking to one platform, it spreads its experience across Telegram Mini-apps and Twitter extensions, making it incredibly accessible.

The game blends mechanics found in hits like Pixels, DeFi Kingdoms, and Axie Infinity, but with a twist — it introduces cross-chain gameplay that spans Berachain, TON, and Tabi. This cross-chain flexibility sets Wizzwoods apart from many other blockchain games by giving players more ways to grow, trade, and interact.

Players take control of magical floating islands where wizard workers handle farming, production, upgrading, and exploration. It’s idle farming, but with depth, progression, and real economic stakes.

How Core Gameplay Systems Work

Wizzwoods is built around resource production, kingdom management, and community engagement. Whether you're casually farming or min-maxing every stat, the game offers systems that feel rewarding at every stage.

Key gameplay loops include:

• Farming: Assign wizards to buildings like the Granary of Abundance to generate Mushrooms, which act as your foundation resource.

• Production: Mushrooms feed into buildings such as the Herbarium Sanctum or Gem Vault to create advanced materials like Mana Gel and Ethereal.

• Decorations: Placing decorative items increases island prosperity and unlocks more progression.

• Quests: Social quests on Twitter and Telegram unlock rewards and partnership bonuses.

• Upgrading: Both structures and wizards grow over time, and cross-chain upgrades boost your resource economy.

It’s a system designed to feel simple at first glance but reveals layers of strategy the deeper you go.

Wizards and Island Progression

Your wizards are the beating heart of your island. They act as workers, heroes, and economic engines all at once.

Wizard progression highlights:

• Minting Wizard NFTs happens via the "Inauguration Ceremony," requiring at least 1-star characters.

• Leveling Up uses silver or gold coins, depending on star rating.

• Awakening at Level 30 resets them to level 1 but boosts star rank and long-term potential.

• Higher star wizards generate more resources, increase prosperity, and open up deeper gameplay paths.

Island prosperity determines almost everything — from land size to building availability.It’s calculated using:

• Base Prosperity: Decorations + working wizards

• Multipliers: Invitation levels, statue upgrades, and other bonuses

As prosperity grows, your floating island evolves into a bustling magical economy.

Key Buildings and Notable Characters

Wizzwoods features a lineup of buildings that form the backbone of your progression.

Important structures include:

• Statue: Determines island level and unlocks new building slots

• Granary of Abundance: Produces Mushrooms

• Herbarium Sanctum: Creates Mana Gel

• Gem Vault: Generates Ethereal

These structures power your entire ecosystem and synergize with your wizard workforce.

Fan-favorite characters include:

• Luna Wicca — Nature magic specialist

• Max Spell — Master of ancient magical arts

• Shadow Paws — A fast, stealthy cat wizard

These characters aren’t just cosmetic; their abilities matter in both production and combat.

Competitive Modes and Events

Beyond farming, Wizzwoods adds spice to gameplay through quirky events and competitive systems.

Fun & unique features:

• Screaming Chicken Event: Click chaotic chickens to earn silver; higher statue levels spawn more (and louder) chickens.

• Wizarding Arena: PvP battles with teams of up to 32 wizards. Ranks range from Bronze to Champion, and seasons reset monthly.

• Quidditch Race: A token-driven race where players vote with $xWIZZ to support Luna Wicca, Max Spell, or Shadow Paws.

Each system is built to reward both casual participation and competitive mastery.

DeFi meets gaming through Mining Pool 2.0, available at statue level 30.Players stake xWIZZ tokens to earn a mix of:

• Base APR (50%)

• Prosperity-based APR

• Optional boost APR

The prize pool offers 500% annual yield, making it one of the more aggressive reward systems in the web3 gaming space.

Funding and What Comes Next

This $10 million raise arrives during a challenging period for web3 gaming, making the vote of confidence even more meaningful.

Animoca Brands and IVC stepping in signals strong belief in:

• Wizzwoods’ interchain vision
