Neo has kicked off a tongue-in-cheek holiday challenge: “Grouchy, Grinchy, Grumpy AI Christmas,” a web-based game that dares players to outwit a deliberately unhelpful AI and claim a share of a growing 200+ GAS prize pool.
The game, hosted at xmas.neo.org and built on SpoonOS infrastructure, casts players as sleuths trying to recover a mystery gift the AI has “stolen.” To win, participants ask the AI questions and must parse answers that are intentionally lying, misdirecting, or outright insulting. The twist: each response type can still contain usable clues, so success depends on spotting the pattern, extracting hints, and collaborating with the community to decode the correct item.
Key details:
- Entry: 0.5 GAS per wallet; each entry fee is added to the prize pool (base pool starts at 200 GAS).
- Prize: The final pool (base + entry fees) will be split among players who correctly identify the mystery gift when the event ends.
- Access: Players connect wallets to play; daily question allowances depend on historical Neo N3 transaction activity—more active wallets get more daily questions.
- Eligibility: Participants must play on at least three competition days to be allowed to submit a final guess.
- Fees: Asking questions and submitting answers are free after paying the initial entry fee.
- Limitations: Ledger wallets are not supported because the game requires arbitrary message signing.
- Timeline: The event is live now and runs through 00:00 UTC on December 30.
Neo’s holiday game blends social puzzle-solving with on-chain mechanics, encouraging community sharing and theory-building as players piece together clues from a deliberately cranky AI. If you want to test your detective skills and earn crypto rewards, head to xmas.neo.org to join the fun.
