In Brief
- “Arnie’s Birdies” will launch this December on SCOR as the first Web3 golf mini-game inspired by Arnold Palmer.
- This title marks several milestones: it is the first athlete-branded Web3 mini-game and the first to feature real-world partner power-ups.
- The game aligns with SCOR’s goal of bringing sports intellectual property (IP) on-chain through enhanced fan engagement, tokenized experiences, and new revenue channels.
SCOR’s “Arnie’s Birdies” is designed to deliver a fast-paced gaming experience that reflects the creativity and fan-centric approach of Arnold Palmer. As the first golf game built natively for Web3, it will enable fans to build on-chain identities through their achievements and engagement with the game.
Gameplay Style and Features
The mini-game draws inspiration from the physics-based style popularized by games like Angry Birds. Players will navigate through golf holes of increasing difficulty, each featuring varying par counts and destructible structures that offer bonus points. Extra shots will convert into “birdies,” serving as rewards and indicators of progression.
The courses are themed around key aspects of Palmer’s life and career. Players will encounter references such as the Bay Hill clock, one of Palmer’s jets, and his dog, Mulligan. These elements will exist as tokenized assets that fans can interact with within the SCOR ecosystem, providing value beyond mere decoration.
Building Sports IP On Chain
Sweet, the developer behind SCOR, is committed to integrating major sports IP into Web3 through accessible gaming experiences. Every in-game action will be recorded on-chain, creating permanent engagement data that supports fan rewards and assists rights holders in developing new revenue models.
The platform provides IP owners with more control by connecting fan activity, collectibles, and gameplay into a unified system. Fans will receive on-chain identities known as SCOR-IDs, which reflect their progression and achievements across multiple SCOR-powered applications.
