The Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs and associated projects are experiencing a surge in sales this week as creator Yuga Labs unveils plans for Dookey Dash, a skill-based web game that requires an NFT to play. The game challenges players to navigate through a cartoonish sewer environment without crashing, with rewards promised for top scores. Only owners of Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFTs can receive a Sewer Pass NFT to play the game, leading to a spike in sales for Ethereum NFT projects.
Mutant Ape NFTs have seen a 124% increase in sales volume in the past 24 hours, reaching $4.2 million, while Bored Ape NFT sales have jumped 171% to nearly $3.5 million. Bored Ape Kennel Club NFTs have also experienced a 134% spike in sales, exceeding $3.3 million. Owners of Bored Ape and Mutant Ape NFTs can claim a free Sewer Pass NFT from January 17 to February 8, which can be resold in the secondary market to potentially drive more momentum.
Dookey Dash will be playable from January 18 to February 8, and players must use a Sewer Pass NFT to participate. It is a skill-based mint game with a leaderboard tracking top scores, and players will be rewarded based on their performance. Yuga Labs has hinted at exciting transformations for players who participate, generating further anticipation for the upcoming game.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club has been a hugely successful NFT project, generating over $2.6 billion in trades since its launch in April 2021. Subsequent projects like Mutant Apes and virtual land plots for the Otherside metaverse game have added another $3.5 billion in NFT trades. Bored Ape owners have been consistently rewarded through airdrops, claims, and valuable NFT drops, as well as receiving ApeCoin Ethereum tokens worth significant amounts.
Despite a market downturn that saw Bored Ape prices plummet to below $60,000 in November, prices have rebounded in recent weeks, with Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT sales totaling $82.5 million over the last 30 days—a 26% increase from the previous period. With the resurgence in prices and the anticipation surrounding Dookey Dash, the Bored Ape Yacht Club continues to be a top-selling NFT project, attracting both collectors and investors alike.
