Step N Mint

Step N Mint is the Pokemon Go of Web3. With the rise of NFTs we see the potential for immutable ownership to improve the gaming experience; AR brings this to the player’s fingertips.

In the game, players navigate a map view of their nearby location, displaying areas where NFTs are ready to be minted. The player can toggle between map and camera views to discover NFT mint locations (AR Little Rocks). When they arrive at a mint location, players approach the floating rock and tap the screen to shoot fireballs.

The rock will eventually explode, leaving an orb in its place, which can be clicked to link directly to a unique mint. Once minted, rocks can gain experience and skill by visiting additional locations, covering specific distances or completing activities.
