Bored Ape Yacht Club creator Yuga Labs and partner studio Faraway have released the sewer-based game Dookey Dash: Not hidden as a free download on iOS, Android, Mac and PC in select regions. This pits players to compete in an end-of-season tournament with over $1 million in prizes.
This comes over a year after Yuga Labs rolled out the original NFT-gated version of the game, where the highest scoring players earn valuable prizes. The winner of the grand prize – a unique gold NFT key – was notable Fortnite esports player Kyle “Mongraal” Jackson. He sold it for 3,333 Ethereumor Worth $1.63 million at the time.
Dookey Dash: Not hidden is now free to play via both mobile and computer apps, with very similar core gameplay to the previous NFT-gated version of the game. Gamers jump atop a makeshift underwater scooter as they try to navigate their way through an endless sewer full of gunk and obstacles.
Dookey Dash: Unclogged has deployed and is ready to join.

New to the game this time around is ‘creator mode’, which allows players to upload 3D models or 2D art to create on-chain avatars, vehicles and stickers that can be played in the game. These assets can then be traded on the Distant storean NFT marketplace, and can be used in other gaming experiences.
Now that the game has been officially released, season one kicks off with a weekly in-game leaderboard where players can compete against each other to win various prizes, the most prestigious of which is a ‘Golden Plunger’.
These Golden Plungers are tradable NFTs that will act as a player’s ticket to the end of season tournament, where $1 million in prizes can be won. Players can get these NFTs by finishing among the top 250 finalists on the Season Leaderboards, or by getting lucky on ‘The Wheel of Dookey’.
It appears that tournaments will take place every quarter, according to the Dookey Dash: unclogged websitewhere every season is three months long.
Yuga Labs originally planned to release the free-to-play game spring this year, but suffered a few delays. The first of which was to make the game more “informal friendly,‘because they felt the competitive side of the game was in good shape. Dookey Dash: Unclogged suffered one final delay when the team created a “huge potential marketing opportunities” in early September – although it is unclear what that was.
