Developed as a partnership between China-based OnePlus and Google, 'Crackables' is a new game combining puzzles in both the digital and physical worlds. Playable through the OnePlus website, this game is "comprised of a series of compelling puzzles that need a combination of skill and speed to complete.” Players will be tasked with completing as many levels as possible until OnePlus selects its winner. Only the first 1,000 people to get through the three challenges will be allowed to continue playing. The challenges presented to the player will be crypto-focused.
The 1,000 players chosen to continue playing Crackables will then be sent an actual microcontroller that will allow them to finish the final puzzle and win the game. The winner will receive the "ultimate gaming setup," valued at $30,000. Runner-ups will also receive digital prizes.
