Brain game sharpens the ability to find solutions to problems and take appropriate decision quickly. Puzzles stimulate brain activity and stimulate the process of thought. It provides challenging training for the whole brain: the analytical and intuitive part of human nature, the ability to concentrate and shorten attention span are improved; memory, capacity and reasoning are enhanced.

Though considered a niche industry, the Puzzle market is an extremely lucrative one, estimated to generate $24 billion in 2022 and an annual estimated growth rate of 18.7%. This growth rate is projected to put the industry’s valuation at around $35.6 billion by 2026.

Puzzles are fun and entertaining, helping players to learn and improve problem-solving skills in an entertaining way. However, while puzzle games have been commonplace in computers for decades they are relatively unexplored in the Web 3.0 space. Web 3.0 games are rarely puzzle-based in the truest sense of the word. Whether it be jigsaws, mazes or any other “turn-based” game, there is an emerging lack of live interaction between users where true communication, idea sharing and collaboration are key components of the gameplay.

Atocha Protocol is changing this.

What do you get when the knack for solving problems, the enthusiasm for the curious and the creative form of an artist are combined? You get Atocha Protocol! Inspired by the hobby of solving puzzle games, Atocha Protocol was built from the grounds up by award-winning puzzle lovers for puzzle lovers.

Atocha Protocol is a web 3.0 platform that connects members of the gaming community to create, promote and play games while unlocking true value creation and transfer. It is a platform for gamers, developers, and promoters to build, play and sponsor Puzzle games. Atocha is a shared economy where anybody can be a consumer, creator, sponsor, or all three. Gamers can play Puzzle games from around the world, take part in challenges or contest for supremacy. Publishers and developers can provide incentives to jump-start their product exposure to the Web 3.0 ecosystem or leverage blockchain tools to develop engaging and frictionless business models for new products.

As a social game platform, Atocha Protocol activates two income stream opportunities for the gaming ecosystem; Play-to-Earn (P2E) and Create-to-Earn (C2E). P2E is achieved by gamers actually playing games while wagering their tokens on the potential outcomes and earning based on results. C2E is achieved by monetizing user creations via peer to peer sharing platform and a marketplace, where users will be able to purchase the creations from other users or even the developer directly

Atocho Protocol’s mainnet will be live by end of May. In the meantime, you can try out the demo here: https://atocha.io/wp-content/atocha-io/dev2/atocha_dev_list.php
