NFT Success: A Case Study of Soulbeats' Digital Treasure Hunt

🎮 "Gamification is the bridge between engagement and entertainment, creating a dynamic environment where fans become active participants in the experience.”

Create engagement within the Sunska community ahead of the festival

The SunSka Festival is a Reggae music festival that has been held every year since 1998 in the Gironde region. It is the Gironde's biggest contemporary music event. It's more than just a music festival, it's also a sustainable festival committed to an eco-citizen approach and with a very loyal community.

Engaging that community before the Sunska Festival enriches the overall festival experience, creates a stronger sense of unity and anticipation, and lays the foundation for a memorable and successful event.

“Find the Lion” treasure hunt

On June 1st, 2 months before the Sunska Festival 2023, the Soulbeats Music label released the Sunska Anthem 2023 on Pianity with a brilliant and innovative idea: a treasure hunt on their website.

  1. They released the Sunska Anthem 2023 as a bounty available in 1000 editions and invited, in a post, their instagram followers to participate in the treasure hunt.
  2. They hid the claim link behind an icon of the famous Sunska Lion on their website.
  3. Users who found and clicked on the Sunska Lion would get the free NFT of the Anthem on Pianity and access to a dedicated conversation on the Pianity app.
  4. In subsequent weeks, participants would be drawn to win various gifts. In the club, they would reveal the preview of the clip to all Sunska Anthem collectors, they would draw among collectors to win VIP tickets, merchandising and goodies.
