What Are Blankos?
Blankos are fun, and mischievous vinyl toys brought to life! Inhabiting in their offbeat world, they live the fleek life focusing on good vibes and good times! Players can design these incredible Blanko toy characters and bring them to life when they hear their music!
Game Features
Blankos Block Party takes place in a casual multiplayer world styled like a giant block party. That includes a vibrant hub where friends can meet, go on scavenging hunts with pals, take on daily challenges, and eventually take part in global online mini-games and explore into other players’ block parties.
- Players will be able to collect and use all different types of Blanko characters. Thanks to blockchain technology, there will be many varieties of head shapes, unique skins, including rare attributes and styles that spin off into endless combinations where players have real ownership.
- Players will acquire block assets in various ways that help them build and play with their Block. Bespoke designs will continuously enter the Blankos world. Once their party is ready, they can invite others to explore and play.
- At each party, Blankos will interact and evolve their characters and influence a new generation of Blankos they meet along the way.
- Keep a lookout for your favorite artists or musicians to create, trade, and mingle with their Blankos!
- Each Blanko can be traded or resold at the Marketplace – the goal will be to grow your own impressive and rare collection of interactive toys that you can use in this amazing world!
