❌ Application #50 GameHouse Labs: Building Africa’s Proof-of-Play Onboarding Engine for Web3 Gamers and Creators

Q1 Name of your Grant

GameHouse

Q2 Total Grant amount in USD ($)

$5000

Q3 Evaluation Factor – Specific

GameHouse is a community-first platform designed to onboard gamers and contributors starting in Africa into Web3 using simple quests, tournaments, and XP-based incentives.

This grant will support the launch of a lean MVP hosted on Discord, where we will test our Proof-of-Play (PoP) and Proof-of-Contribution (PoC) systems via gaming and social tasks. This experiment will validate our XP reward model, community engagement, and lay the groundwork for a future app-based platform that expands the Sandbox ecosystem into a rapidly growing, untapped market.

Q4 Evaluation Factor – Measurable

3 Key Milestones with Payment Percentages (Total: 100%)

Milestone Deliverable % of Payment
1. Discord Launch + XP System Setup GameHouse server launched, XP logic activated, onboarding channels live for both players and contributors. First quests published. 35%
2. Quest Rollout + Leaderboard Live 10+ gaming quests + 10+ social quests tracked with weekly XP updates and active leaderboard; XP rewards distributed. 35%
3. Tournament + Impact Summary Host 1 Web2 game tournament, collect community feedback, finalize impact report + roadmap for future Web3 integration. 30%

Q5 Evaluation Factor – Accountable

Primary Contact: @I_AM_ADEYEMIE Adeyemi Adesegun
Secondary Contact: @AbbyMorris60141 Emirate

Both contacts are directly involved in the launch, management, and delivery of the GameHouse Phase 1 MVP.

Q6 Evaluation Factor – Realistic

GameHouse creates a new on-ramp to Web3 culture through familiar experiences like quests, leaderboards, and tournaments targeting regions where Sandbox has room to grow. Our goal is to become the social and reward layer for a new wave of creators and players, especially in Nigeria and South Africa.

Though Phase 1 is Discord-based, it sets the stage for Sandbox integration by validating Proof-of-Play mechanics that could support Sandbox avatar quests, XP incentives, or in-game event exposure in the future.

Apologies, I won’t be able to approve this grant. The budget for Community Engagement has been fully spent as of today. If the circumstances change, I will post an update here.
