# Gold Fest ### What is Gold Fest? Gold Fest is a live event inside the [GAMEE app](https://t.me/gamee/start) on Telegram where players earn a share of a fixed reward pool of $500,000 in tokens and gold-themed Telegram Gifts. Your allocation of the reward pool is determined by how many Gold Points you collect. You can earn Gold Points by playing games, completing quests, inviting friends, and advancing through the Season Pass and Premium Pass. ### How do I start playing Gold Fest? Simply open the [GAMEE app](https://t.me/gamee/start) on Telegram and enter Gold Fest. There is no additional download or setup required, and you can start playing immediately. ### Where can I stay up to date with Gold Fest? You can keep up to date with Gold Fest by following the [GAMEE Community channel](https://t.me/gameechannek) on Telegram, the [GAMEEToken X account](https://x.com/gameetoken), or the [Gold Fest X account](https://x.com/goldfestgame). ### How do I earn rewards in Gold Fest? You earn rewards by playing games, completing quests, inviting friends, and progressing through the Season Pass. These activities give you [Energy](#what-is-energy-and-what-is-it-used-for) – allowing you to move across the Prize Board, and [Gold Points](#what-are-gold-points-and-why-are-they-important) – which determine your final rewards. ### What are Gold Points and why are they important? Gold Points represent your share of the total reward pool. The more Gold Points you collect during the event, the larger your share will be when rewards are distributed at the end. ### What happens to my Gold Points after the event? Your Gold Points are converted into **$NUGS**, a gold-backed token, and can be claimed via the Flashy platform once distribution is complete. ### What is $NUGS? $NUGS is a digital token backed by verified in-ground gold reserves through [nGRND](https://ngrnd.com/). It represents real-world asset value brought on-chain, allowing players to hold rewards tied to gold without physical extraction. ### What is Energy and what is it used for? Energy is the main resource used to progress in Gold Fest. It allows you to roll a die and move across the Prize Board to unlock rewards and collect XP towards your Season Pass progress. ### How do I get Energy? Energy can be earned by playing games, completing quests, inviting friends, receiving rewards from boxes, progressing through the Season Pass, and through passive regeneration over time. ### Does Energy regenerate automatically? Yes, Energy regenerates over time up to a limit. You can also exceed this limit through rewards, but automatic regeneration will not continue until your Energy drops below the cap. ### What is the Prize Board? The Prize Board is the core progression system in Gold Fest. You spend Energy to roll a die and move forward across the board, landing on tiles that grant rewards or progress. You only receive the reward from the tile you land on, not the tiles you pass. However, you do earn more Season Pass XP when passing a Reward tile. ### What are Boxes and how do they work? Boxes are reward containers that give you random outcomes such as Energy or Gold Points. Different types of boxes offer different reward ranges and chances. ### What is the Season Pass and how does progression work? The Season Pass is a progression system tied to your activity on the Prize Board. As you move and earn XP, you unlock milestone rewards along the way. You can greatly increase the rewards on offer by getting the Premium Pass. And even if you get the Premium Pass later, you can still claim all the rewards you would have got if you had bought it earlier. ### Do I need to compete against other players? No, Gold Fest is not a competitive leaderboard-based event. You are not competing against others, but instead building your own share of the total reward pool. ### Is there a minimum requirement to receive rewards? Yes, players need to reach a minimum amount of Gold Points during the event to qualify for the final distribution. This threshold is low, but having it prevents players who only play once or twice from taking the bulk of the rewards from those who have played more. ### How do referrals work? You can invite friends to join Gold Fest using your referral link. When they join, they receive a welcome bonus of [Energy](#what-is-energy-and-what-is-it-used-for), and you also receive Energy. ### Do my old referrals count? No, only new friends invited during Gold Fest count toward referral rewards for this event. ### Can I play for free? Yes, Gold Fest is free to play. You can earn rewards through gameplay, quests, and referrals without spending anything. However, your rewards (and share of the prize pool) will vastly increase if you get the Premium Pass. ### What is the Premium Pass? The Premium Pass is an optional upgrade that unlocks additional rewards and progression benefits during the event. If you purchase the Premium Pass after starting, you can claim rewards from earlier progression that you have already unlocked. If your Premium Pass expires during the event and is not renewed, you will no longer receive Premium rewards going forward. ### When will I receive my rewards? Rewards are distributed after Gold Fest ends, once final calculations are complete. You will then be able to claim your $NUGS tokens. ### How do I claim my rewards? $NUGS rewards can be claimed after Gold Fest finishes via the Flashy platform. Full details on this will be shared in the [GAMEE Community](https://t.me/gameechannel) channel on Telegram. ### My question wasn't answered here – where can I ask? Head to the [GAMEE Chat on Telegram](https://t.me/gameetalk) and ask there. One of our mods or our Community Manager will answer you.
