About Blok Party

Blok Party is developing what it describes as the first AI-native world-building game. The core product is a game where players can purchase land on a real-world map, collect cards, and combine them using AI to create new, explorable locations. The gameplay is designed to be engaging for both passive and active players, with a focus on creativity, community interaction, and strategic features. The company emphasizes continuous development with frequent updates to enhance the gameplay experience.

The startup was founded in San Francisco in 2018 by CEO and co-founder Jimmy Chen. The initial vision was to merge physical and digital gaming through a blockchain-based tabletop game console called PlayTable. This console featured a large touchscreen and used blockchain technology to allow players to own, customize, and trade their physical game pieces as digital assets. In its early phase, Blok.Party raised $10 million in a single funding round. However, the company is now listed as "deadpooled" on some platforms in relation to its original hardware concept.
