Alaska Gold Rush

Introduction

Alaska Gold Rush is a play-to-earn first-person game set in the Alaskan gold rush of 1897, developed by Baked Games. It combines a story-driven singleplayer campaign with skill-based multiplayer deathmatch arenas, where prospectors mine gold, upgrade their gear, and fight rival players for supremacy. The game is playable now, with tools and land held as NFTs on Polygon and a tradable token earned on BNB Chain.

Lore

Alaska Gold Rush centers on George, a prospector shaped by hardship and drawn north by the promise of gold. His journey runs from the sweatshops of New York to the frozen frontier of 1897 Alaska, where he follows an ancient map tied to his father’s legacy, tracing hidden fortunes and unraveling family secrets across the wilderness. Survival is part of the story, with cold, hunger, and bandits all working against him. The Klondike setting frames a harsh world of mines, frozen rivers, and open country, where every claim carries its own history and holding one means enduring the frontier.

Gameplay

Alaska Gold Rush plays from a first-person view and splits into two sides. The singleplayer campaign follows George across 1897 Alaska, using an ancient map to prospect mines, gather supplies, and push through wilderness and bandit threats. Multiplayer drops players into deathmatch arenas for skill-based combat against other prospectors. Across both, the loop stays the same: dig for gold, upgrade weapons and equipment, and grow from a single claim toward a string of mines.

• Singleplayer campaign: follow George’s story, read the map, mine, and survive the frontier.
• Multiplayer deathmatch: face other prospectors in skill-based first-person arena combat.
• Mine and upgrade: pull gold from the ground and improve weapons and gear over time.

Economy

The game splits its currencies between in-game gold and an on-chain token. Gold and rare finds are earned by mining and traded in town, where players barter with merchants to upgrade gear and pick up NFT items. Multiplayer combat is where the crypto side comes in, with deathmatch wins rewarding an on-chain token, CARAT, that trades on exchanges. Equipment and land are held as NFTs on Polygon, and the right gear lets a player expand from one claim into a network of mines.

• Two currencies: in-game gold for trading and upgrades, plus a tradable on-chain token earned in multiplayer.
• NFT gear and land: tools, weapons, and mine holdings exist as NFTs, traded on Polygon.
• Town market: barter with merchants to upgrade equipment and acquire higher-value items.
