Oh we’re kicking off with a gif today, you know this medium gonna be a banger!

Are you not entertained?
If the thrill of intense 2vs2 gladiatorial combat isn’t enough to get your blood pumping, how about throwing 1,000,000 $LFG tokens into the arena? That’s right — Lightning Forge Games is officially launching LFG REWARDS Season 1 alongside the open beta of Gladiator Mayhem, and the prize pool is a cool one million $LFG tokens. All you need to claim a piece of that treasure is… play one game. Yes, you read that correctly — one match is your golden ticket into this mayhem-fueled airdrop.

Insert Austin Powers gif here…

For Season 1, the rules of engagement are simple: jump into Gladiator Mayhem (coming soon in open beta on iOS and Android), battle at least once, and you’re officially qualified for the airdrop. But why stop at one battle when there’s a mountain of tokens up for grabs? Every match you play earns you points, and the more points you rack up, the higher you’ll climb on the in-game leaderboard — and the bigger your share of the airdrop loot. So strap on your armor and pick up that sword (or just your phone) — glory and crypto await! ⚔️

Oooft, we don’t usually take shots at other studios… but man this was rough…

Season 1: A Million Reasons to Fight 💰

Season 1 of LFG REWARDS kicks off with the Gladiator Mayhem open beta. In case it wasn’t clear: there’s 1,000,000 $LFG on the line, to be distributed to all qualifying players based on their points at the end of the season. Getting your name on that leaderboard is dead simple — just hop into a match. You’ll get at least +1 point just for showing up (even if you totally biff it and lose), which is enough to qualify you for the airdrop. But let’s be real, you want more than a participation trophy, right? Here’s how you can rack up points and rise through the ranks:

  • +1 point for every match you play (win or lose, you get a point just for showing up, to the ire of every boomer around).
  • +2 points for every match you win (victory has its rewards — a win gives you 3 points total including the play point).
  • +1 point bonus if your score crosses a certain high-score threshold (go big or go home, or you know, hit that A rank or S rank in game).
  • +1 point bonus for a win streak of 3+ wins in a row (consistency pays off!).
  • +5 points for your first win of the day (the early gladiator gets the gold, except not gold, since that's a currency in game, but you will get points!).

Gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.

Every point you earn pushes you higher on the leaderboard, which you can check live in-game to see how you stack up. Remember: the higher your rank when the season ends, the bigger your slice of that million-$LFG pie!

Hey what you do with your share of the pie is your business, we’re just here to make games :D

Forge Keys: Boost Your Score by 20% 🔑

Remember those legendary Forge Keys we’ve been hyping? If you hold one (or several), you’re in luck: each Forge Key gives you a +20% point multiplier on all the base points you earn. Consider it a VIP pass to more loot.

Remember these? (or if you’re reading it before the mint, aren’t you excited for them!!!)

For example, if you earn 10 base points in a day and you have 1 Forge Key, you’ll actually get 12 points credited (20% extra). Have 2 Forge Keys? That’s a 40% boost: 10 points become 14. You get the idea: more keys, more points (math has never been so rewarding).

And yes, multiple keys stack, so feel free to hoard keys like a dragon hoards gold! 😈

Fun fact, if you owned all 6,666 FORGE KEYs, you’d receive 1,334.2 points just for playing a game of Gladiator Mayhem!

Oh, and did we mention Forge Keys don’t just boost Gladiator Mayhem? These coveted collectibles will amp up your rewards in every current and future LFG title — truly the gift that keeps on giving. If you haven’t secured a Forge Key yet, fear not: the Forge Key — GM Edition mint is just around the corner. (Hint: check our website for updates — the mint page at lightningforge.games goes live soon.) Grab a key or two when the time comes, and you’ll instantly level up your LFG Rewards game with that sweet 20% bonus per key.

Refer a Friend: Squad Up for Extra Points 🤝

What’s better than racking up points? Racking up points together. The LFG Rewards referral system lets you and your friends turbocharge each other’s progress. Every player gets a personal referral code in-game (no friendship bracelet required). When a friend uses your code, you become their referrer, they become your referee, and both of you start earning bonus points just for being an active duo. It’s basically a points-sharing pact — camaraderie pays!

I mean, I actually really enjoyed Diablo Immortal… way more than Diablo 4

The referral program rewards both parties for playing consistently: Referrers get a cut of their referees’ points, and referees get bonus points thanks to their referrers. It’s a virtuous cycle of mutual profit, as long as both of you actually play each day!

Here’s the breakdown of the referral perks:

  • Referrer Bonus: Earn +2% of all base points your referee earns each day (if they score 100 points, you get +2 points). You’ll get this only on days you both earn at least 1 point — no activity, no bonus.
  • Referee Bonus: Just for being someone’s referee you get +10% of your referrer’s base points from that day (if they earn 100, you get +10). Again, active play by both is required that day to trigger this bonus.

I asked a friend to write the caption for this one… “WHO ARE YOU AND HOW DID YOU GET IN MY HOUSE???”

In short, if you bring a friend along for the ride, you’ll each get a little extra reward whenever you both show up and play. It’s our way of saying the guild that slays together, stays together (and gets rewarded together). And if you’re a social butterfly recruiting an entire army of gladiators, we’ve got you covered: high-volume referrers can request custom referral codes. Why settle for “ABC123” when you could flex with code DOGMASUCKS? 😉

Fair Play: Don’t Make Us Use the Ban Hammer 🔨

We know our community is full of honorable warriors, so this probably goes without saying: no cheating, exploiting, or other shenanigans. We haven’t set any arbitrary cap on how many points you can grind, if you want to play Gladiator Mayhem until your thumbs fall off, more power to you! However, if someone tries to game the system in unfair ways (looking at you, botters and exploit-finders), we reserve the right to disqualify or ban those accounts per our Terms of Service. In plain English: play fair and square, and everyone walks away happy (and maybe full of $LFG goodness). Try to cheat, and you’ll get a big fat thumbs-down from us (and an express trip out of the arena). ⚖️ Consider this your only warning — the house (or in this case, the Forge) always wins against cheaters.

Remember that Smash level where you just wail on a bunch of Yoshi’s? Pepperidge Farm remembers…

Coming Soon: The $LFG Tokenomics 💰

“Wait, what’s $LFG actually for? When do we get these tokens? And what can we do with them?” All great questions! We’ll be revealing the full $LFG tokenomics, distribution details, and how this token fuels the entire LFG ecosystem in an upcoming medium. (Spoiler alert: $LFG will be the lifeblood of everything in our games — from entering tournaments to trading cool in-game loot.) As we hinted before, LFG Rewards isn’t a one-and-done promo — it’s an ongoing, lifetime engagement and rewards program built to keep delivering fun and value across every LFG title. So think of Season 1 as just the opening act. Stay tuned for the nitty-gritty on $LFG tokenomics and our grand plans for the future.

VERY THOON!

Ready, Set, Mayhem! 🏆

The arena awaits, gladiators. Gladiator Mayhem is going live soon, LFG Rewards Season 1 is along for the ride, and 1,000,000 $LFG is there for the taking. What are you waiting for? Grab your gear (and your phone), download the open beta on iOS or Android (soon!), and jump into the fight.

Well not that gear, we haven’t announced support for any gaming handhelds yet have we?

Remember: even a single match secures your spot in the airdrop — but the real glory (and the biggest rewards) go to those who climb the leaderboard and dominate the season. Rally your friends, sharpen your skills, and make every battle count.

May the best gladiator win, and may your points pile ever higher.

See you in the arena… LFG!

Did you find both easter eggs hidden in this medium? No? Well how about a joke instead? I went for a job at the grocery store and asked if I could be a checker? The manager said sure, you can be a red one!
