Updating by the tradition of tucking a silver coin into the Christmas pudding, the WCRS agency created 'Bitmas Pudding,' a Christmas game starring cryptocurrency.
The game has players eat their way through a Christmas pudding in order to reveal valuables hidden inside of it. The rewarding app gives players the chance to win real prizes, including Bitcoins valued at £230. But in the spirit of doing good things for others who may not be as fortunate, the app also gives winners the chance to donate their winnings to St Mungo’s Broadway, an organization that provides aid to the homeless.
While there are many people who have only a vague understanding of what a Bitcoin is, this app is a fun and festive way to mashup a new cryptocurrency with Christmas convention.
