Dutch Web3 gaming startup D-Drops secures €500K from ROM Utrecht; launches treasure hunt game with prize pool of €100k
Summary
The funding will support the launch of its location-based treasure-hunting game, where players must set out on an adventure across their cities and discover real-world rewards. “We hope that our game gives people a reason to go outside, explore new areas of their cities, and along the way make meaningful memories while having fun,” adds Amiri. The platform allows players to explore their cities in search of treasures containing real-world prizes such as cash, concert tickets, merchandise, and coupons, worth up to €100. “D-Drops is a great example of how gamification can be used to drive economic growth, promote healthy habits, and create a sense of community within our cities,” says Arjan van den Born, Director ROM Utrecht. “We are committed to supporting innovative solutions that bring people together, and we’re eager to see the impact of this initiative inspire others,” adds van den Born.
