Pudgy Penguins and Mythical Games Launch Web3 Party Game “Pudgy Party” on Mobile

[tradelikepro]

The Pudgy Penguins NFT brand and game developer Mythical Games have officially launched Pudgy Party, a mobile party game now available worldwide on Android and iOS.

Often compared to hits like Fall Guys and Stumble Guys, Pudgy Party puts players into chaotic obstacle courses and survival challenges—this time with a Web3 twist built seamlessly into the gameplay.

Gameplay Meets Web3

Players step into the game as Pudgy Penguins characters, collecting outfits, emotes, and costumes. Many of these items can be minted as NFTs and traded on a marketplace.

Behind the scenes, every player is automatically onboarded into a wallet on the Mythos Chain (Polkadot-based). However, Mythical Games CEO John Linden emphasized that this is hidden from most players:

“They have a wallet, but most of them won’t even know about it… The Web3 stuff is seamlessly behind it.”

This design ensures smooth onboarding for casual gamers while giving crypto-native users real digital asset ownership.

First Season: Dopameme Rush

The game launches with “Dopameme Rush”, a meme-fueled seasonal event. Seasons will run monthly, featuring both free and premium passes, competitive leaderboards, and special events.

Big Ambitions for Pudgy Party

Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz, who revived the brand with retail products at Walmart and Target, has bold goals:

“It has to have, at a minimum, tens of millions of players and downloads… My hope is we can actually push and make this a top app on the App Store.”

Netz envisions IRL tournaments, prize pools, and major streamers driving adoption, making Pudgy Party a Web3 game that breaks into the mainstream.

Mythical Games—already behind Web3 titles like NFL Rivals and FIFA Rivals—echoed the ambition.

“We’re after building a forever franchise with Luca,” Linden said. “Something that can be around and played by literally hundreds of millions of people.”

Takeaway

With mainstream-friendly onboarding, seasonal events, and NFT-powered customization, Pudgy Party aims to be the first breakout Web3 mobile party game—bridging crypto culture with mass-market gaming.

This is how Web3 gaming should be done — hide the complexity, let players just enjoy the game, and still give real digital ownership to those who care. Pudgy Party could be the first project to actually bridge crypto + mainstream gaming.

Love the “Fall Guys meets NFTs” vibe. If they can really push into tens of millions of downloads like Luca says, Pudgy Penguins will go from NFT brand → full-on global franchise. Walmart toys, party game, tournaments… it’s all connecting.

Smart move putting the wallet under the hood on Mythos Chain. Most casual gamers don’t want to deal with seed phrases or MetaMask — they just want to play. Seamless onboarding is the only way Web3 games go mainstream.
