It’s highly likely you are part of several brand loyalty programs and have heard of cryptocurrency – but you’re wondering how the two relate. Despite cryptocurrency earning online hype, it is still quite niche and has a long way to go in terms of integrating into the lives of everyday people. One way companies can introduce cryptocurrency to the mainstream is by leveraging loyalty programs.

Spend to Earn

Customer loyalty is the key to any successful business. Loyalty leaders growing their revenue roughly 2.5x as fast as competitors and peers lacking loyalty. A loyal customer is someone who is willing to stick with a product or service through thick and thin. They are also more likely to recommend a product or service to their friends and family.

An essential tool for building customer loyalty is to offer a rewards program. In fact, according to Bond, the average consumer belongs to 14.8 loyalty programs and is engaged in 6.7 of them. Rewards programs engage customers and give them an incentive to keep coming back and refer new business. They also serve as an analytical tool providing businesses a way to track their customers’ behavior and preferences. 

There are many different types of rewards programs, but the best ones share some common features. They are easy to use, offer a variety of rewards, and allow businesses to customize the program to fit their needs. A bold player in the space with a distinguished vision, Numi3, provides a novel rewards platform for modern businesses that understand the importance of customer loyalty and are looking to differentiate themselves.  

Brand loyalty the Numi3 way

Numi3 is a crypto-agnostic Web3 rewards SaaS platform that offers a unique solution for small to medium businesses looking to offer exceptional customer loyalty programs. For businesses, Numi3 boasts a full suite solution that is well thought out and executed using the latest technologies to provide:

  • easy onboarding and integration
  • secure and reliable infrastructure, and
  • the lowest fees on the market.

Businesses can create reward campaigns, referral programs, or giveaways to reward their customers. Numi also provides the ability to validate and process crypto rewards transactions in real-time. So this means you can earn crypto at the checkout of your grocery store. This technology is considered feasible for future use cases to process crypto transactions in real-time. This is where a consumer pays a business for a product in crypto and the payment is validated immediately.

On the customer-end, attractive features of the loyalty program include earning crypto rewards as determined by the offered rewards program. Numi3’s user-centric solution helps businesses cater to the 79% of Americans that say they are more likely to join a rewards program that doesn’t require them to carry a physical card.

The user-friendly and navigable interface offered by Numi3 allows the utilization of crypto rewards to be simple. Apart from providing a seamless experience, the platform adopts a high level of security with several layers of defense. There is also a dedicated team of security professionals who understand the intricacies of keeping digital assets secure. Numi3 provides a simplistic journey for users regardless of previous experience with cryptocurrencies.

With large-scale Web3 adoption, businesses need to grow together with their users and increase their engagement in a maturing market. Seamless implementation will allow businesses to launch an innovative reward program without the headache associated with creating novel solutions from scratch. 

Staked rewards

Another special feature Numi3 will offer to businesses is their state-of-the-art crypto wallet solution, allowing consumers to stake, save, or withdraw their rewards.

Staking their rewards will allow users to earn rewards for holding their tokens over a set period of time, as chosen by the business, giving them even more of an incentive to spend money to add to their compounding pool of points. Additionally, implemented QR code systems prevent connectivity or network service providers from ever being an issue when registering purchases during the point of sale.

The combination of several differentiators could be a game-changer for businesses looking to increase customer engagement and prevent frustrations associated with the previous generation reward programs.

Future of brand loyalty programs

The customer loyalty market is anticipated to increase four-fold by the year 2028, with most growth projected to be led by loyalty management companies implementing and integrating advanced technologies (Fortune Business Insights). Key players are introducing personalized features, demonstrating the opportune moment for Numi3 to build their market. 

Emerging trends in the reward program market include customer willingness to engage with brand loyalty programs. Bond says 95% of consumers prefer loyalty programs using emerging technology like chatbots, AI, VR, and smart devices. Additionally, 75% of consumers say they would engage more with loyalty programs they can easily access from a smartphone. (Source: Code Broker)

Inefficiencies and inconveniences riddle the current state of brand loyalty programs on both, the business and customer end. Considering that over 90% of companies have a loyalty program, there is a major opportunity to improve the reward landscape. (Source: Accenture)

Customers are unable to keep track of and transfer rewards across different platforms. Simultaneously, businesses are not seeing their reward programs benefiting them to the fullest extent. Numi3 offers a refreshing solution for businesses and customers in both revenue and user satisfaction.

There are still a lot of uncharted waters in how cryptocurrency can play a more major role in everyday lives. Consumers are starting to understand this economic landscape better. Incentivizing their participation is a step closer to pushing cryptocurrency to the economic forefront.

This article about the Inno Portable Fan is co-authored by Katelyn Quisenberry of Bold TV.

Welcome back to another episode of Show and Tell, where I unbox a whole lot of helpful tech for every area of your life. This week, we are bringing you a new way to stay, look, and travel cool. So, get ready to be the Inno Portable fan’s number one fan! 

Get ready to be blown away. 

For some of us, fans are always a necessity. And we all have a favorite type of fan in our building, whether it’s a box, ceiling, standing, or any other of the hundred kinds of fans. They are great tools for circulating the air, staying cool, creating white noise, and more! But today, we are going to blow you away with the qualities of the Inno Portable Fan. It comes compact, and when it’s folded, it only has a footprint of five inches. It can also extend up to 35 inches. In addition, the Inno is portable, so there are no wires and nothing attached to the base. You can take it to the pool, the beach, your deck, your patio, your balcony—anywhere.

Foldable, extendable, rechargeable, and therapeutic

No outlet? No problem. This portable fan is rechargeable and can operate on a battery system. Also included in the packaging is a remote controller that helps to customize your fan speed. There are four different speeds: Each one increases velocity, and the fourth mode finalizes the process by being a natural wind mode. Also, this fan isn’t only a fan but also a light. Keep the light on or off by utilizing its two modes.

And finally, let stress blow away in the wind. This fan is sure to make you chill and decompress. The Inno Portable Fan offers a built-in diffuser for aromatherapy with essential oils. It sprays out the air, and the fan blows and distributes the oil. Inno even sells a few of their favorite scents: lavender, cedarwood, and lemongrass. These essential oils come in little 10 millimeter bottles.

Stay portable, pay affordable.

This stylish and portable fan can be folded and placed in any carry-on bag. And it’s available for you now! The Inno Portable fan is $60 and is available on the Inno Portable website.  The fan has a 30-day money-back guarantee and a one-year warranty if the product becomes defective because of defects in material or craft that the manufacturer initially caused. But Inno fans have absolute confidence that you will love their product and see its visible improvements to the accessibility of keeping it cool in your life.

**This article about the Air Audio Pull-Apart Bluetooth Speaker is co-authored by Katelyn Quisenberry of Bold TV.

Welcome back to Show and Tell, where I unbox the trendiest tech for every area of your life. In this product showcase, we bring you the latest in tech gadgets and everything else you would want to keep your electronics looking up to date. And now, meet the Air Audio Pull-Apart Bluetooth Speaker by Quirky. So, for all the audio nerds, you’ll want this unboxing on full blast.

Meet Quirky

Designed and created by a community-based company, Quirky offers a new kind of development by remaining open to public opinion. The Air Audio idea was submitted by the public. Any person is welcome to participate in the requests for audio development. Quirky then uses its product development expertise to manufacture, prototype, design, and launch the product with payment to the inventor in the form of royalties.

Music for one or for all.

Air Audio Pull-Apart Bluetooth Speaker makes listening to music or podcasts expandable and flexible. It’s made up of one big piece with a combo of five smaller parts. When you put it all together, it is a powerful speaker with a power of 24 watts. But you also can pull it apart into five different pieces and set it up for surround sound. The anatomy of the speaker is broken down into 1) the main middle speaker called the Air Base and 2) the smaller pieces called the Air Connects.

And since they connect magnetically, you don’t need an app to organize which speakers will play. All Air Audio tech is easily transferred from place to place and is made with reliable connectivity to Bluetooth. Now, you can live life in surround sound and decide whether you want audio at one table or five different tables.

Enjoy music anywhere there’s air

AIR is the shape of how the future listens to music. And Quirky wants you to be prepared to listen wherever and whenever you want—and that means rain or shine. These speakers are an IPX4 water-resistant product, allowing you to continue singing in the rain. Like what you hear? You can get the Air Audio Quirky on Amazon for $199 here.

I will be back soon to unbox more tech but check out previous videos here until then.

**This article about the Bartesian Premium Cocktail Machine is co-authored by Hannah Buczek of Bold TV.

Welcome back to Show and Tell, where I unbox sweet tech for every area of your life. Were you upset when some some of your favorite bars shut down? It was a booming business: The New York Times reported that Baltimore’s Papi’s Tacos surpassed pre-pandemic sales levels thanks to their to-go margaritas. Many people will miss drinking premium mixed drinks without doing all of the work or leaving home. What if you could be an at-home bartender as easy as making coffee with a Keurig? The Bartesian Premium Cocktail Machine might solve that problem. Salib discovered the Bartesian at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021, where it won an innovation award. But the real win might have been landing Oprah’s Favorite List in 2019.

The Bartesian automated cocktail machine

The Bartesian comes with a menu that includes the full range of classic cocktails, including cosmopolitans, margaritas, uptown rocks, whisky sours, and sazeracs, which aren’t always easy alcoholic drinks to make at home. But the pod-style cocktail machine eliminates the need for mixing the expensive ingredients yourself (as well as the cost of ordering out). And the pods come in a simple booklet style so you can see all of your choices. So, what liquor goes in the Bartesian? The set-up has five canisters that you can fill with vodka, tequila, gin, whiskey or rum that you place onto the machine. 

As simple as the push of a button

The Bartesian isn’t another smart device to control from your phone: The set-up is as simple as possible. Besides the alcohol, all of the ingredients are in the pod. The machine reads the pod’s barcode to know which drink to mix. Then, push a button, get the drink, shake it up bartender-style, and say, “Cheers.” Check out the video to see Julia Sun and me make an uptown rocks cocktail!

You can find the Bartesian Premium Cocktail Machine on its website. Or you can shop at Best Buy, Amazon, Costco and other retailers. Cheers!

Welcome back to Show and Tell, where I unbox sweet tech for every area of your life. Gamers: Could you ever reach your limit of gaming accessories? Most would answer with a resounding, “Never!” If you’re looking to upgrade your mobile first-person shooter (FPS) gaming, I’m here to unbox the Arkade Blaster FPS Motion Controller. Let’s see if this controller is a level-up.

Bold TV’s Show and Tell: Arkade Motion Blaster (Hosted by Peter Salib)

Taking immersion to the next level

If you’re not experienced in video games, you may not know that in an FPS game, you play from the perspective of your character; the experience is more immersive and personal. So, the Arkade Blaster was especially maximized for these games. You can play in 360 using your phone, which mounts to the top of the controller. You can slide the phone closer or further from your face depending on your play style. Using a high-precision gyroscope, the Arkade Blaster follows your movement, whether you’re leaning or turning. It also produces haptic feedback, creating a more immersive experience.

The essentials

The Arkade Blaster connects to your phone using low latency Bluetooth, which is necessary for high-quality audio and video. And if you’re looking to become the next Twitch star, push the Arkade logo on the controller to begin live streaming immediately. The rechargeable battery lasts for 14 hours. (But maybe you won’t be playing for 14 hours straight.)

Customize it

The buttons are pre-programmed for over 100 games. For PC, some compatible games are Fortnite, Call of Duty, Halo, Overwatch, Gears of War, and many more. For Android, games include Roblox, Sniper Fury, Modern Combat, Shadow Gun, and Grand Theft Auto. But if you’d like a little more freedom, you can also customize your Arkade Blaster, creating new actions for each button using the app. The possibilities are nearly endless. 

You can also choose the design you like. The colorful “skin” in the video was created in collaboration with PewDiePie, a long-time YouTuber and one of the biggest gamers on the platform. He earned $13 million in 2019 alone and is the only solo creator to reach 100 million subscribers, according to Business Insider

As the status quo of the workforce shifts from an office-dominated society to a potentially hybrid model — it’s more important now than ever to understand what impacts our productivity in the home and in the workplace. You may have never considered there might be a correlation between your mood or energy level and the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) surrounding you on a regular basis. Clutter and noise can be elements of distraction, and typically there is an easy fix for those things. What about the unwanted influences caused by nearby power lines, wireless technologies, and natural circumstances like geopathic zones and water crosses? These questions can lead to exploring solutions and you might stumble upon Somavedic.

Mitigating the negative effects of EMF radiation as well as other causes is something individuals and businesses should be considering. Doing so could provide an environment where people feel like they’re in a protective bubble which can lead to increased productivity, focus, and all-around wellness. According to a research study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine — U.S. employers face a cost of more than $136 billion per year in health-related lost productivity. The majority of this is caused by reduced performance while at work, rather than absences.

Somavedic, a leader in frequency therapy, is at the forefront of providing a solution to essentially create a life-supporting bubble that protects against the harmful effects from things like EMF radiation, geopathic stress, Curry and Hartmann lines, and oxidative stress.

EMF radiation and natural occurrences

EMF radiation typically falls into two categories based on high-frequency or low-frequency from the electromagnetic spectrum. High-frequency EMFs — which include x-rays — are part of the ionizing radiation part of the spectrum and can damage DNA or cells directly. Low-frequency EMFs — which include powerlines, appliances, 4G/5G, and WiFi — are non-ionizing and are not known to damage DNA or cells directly.

Every house is connected to the electrical grid to receive that essential utility that powers all the tools in our homes and lives. This electricity is produced in a power plant and distributed using a series of generators, transformers, and power lines connecting the whole system across towns and counties. The whole system — power lines and power stations — creates a measurable level of EMF but is considered to be a negligible impact on health in low levels. If the house is positioned extremely close to power lines and stations — you may be exposed to higher levels of EMF which can cause concern.

In either case, EMFs most certainly influence the body and some people can be more sensitive than others. Constant exposure to EMFs can cause oxidative stress which is a disproportion of free radicals and antioxidants in the body. This disproportion can cause cell and tissue damage. Studies show that this long-term stress can be a contributing factor to developing a range of chronic conditions such as cancer, and heart disease. 

Mitigating negative energy

When using a Somavedic device like the bestselling Medic Green Ultra, a specialized configuration of precious and semi-precious stones and metals — like gold and silver — is at work creating a controlled release of energy. This protective bubble is like a coherent field penetrating walls up to 100 feet in every direction. As all things at the fundamental level are frequencies, this is a tech-oriented holistic approach to providing a minimal device that can noticeably create a difference in an environment. 

Somavedic devices are amongst the easiest products to set up — there are no apps, buttons, screens, or settings involved. You simply plug it into a power outlet, place it on a table, and let it run 24/7. Basically set it and forget it and no worries because the power consumption is so low — it’s negligible. Along with the frequency therapy that a Somavedic device provides — it’s also a great source of “glow” with a colored ambient light emitting to contribute to the good vibes.

The Medic Green Ultra also handles water harmonization — or is able to structure water to put it another way. Simply having a jug of water near the Somavedic device will structure the water which is said to be easier for the body to hydrate with.

Certified good vibes

For businesses like yoga studios, coworking spaces, and office buildings — including a Somavedic device in the space now comes with a badge of honor called the “Actively Harmonized Environment” certification. It’s a great way to showcase one’s commitment to overall health and wellness and proactive efforts to sustain a balanced space. 

Actively Harmonized Environment

Office spaces providing this type of amenity to their employees can see increased productivity, focus, calmness, and revenue. Hundreds of billions of dollars each year are lost by US employers as a result of stress-related absences and fatigued employees. Although standing desks and other ergonomic tools can help with fatigue — stress is still a bit of a black box being demystified. Companies investing in the health and wellness of their employees have always reaped the benefits and a Somavedic device is a helpful addition to the toolkit.

As more employers provide benefits around mental health and cover gym memberships on top of classic medical insurance coverage — it’s a great step in the right direction towards an integrated work and life balance. Properly considering how today’s technological landscape might be affecting an employee’s productivity is an under-discussed influence that holds a fair amount of weight. Putting in a proactive effort to mitigate any negative influences is a major advantage for those doing it.

Welcome back to Show and Tell, where I unbox sweet tech for every area of your life. In this segment, we’re focusing on air quality. You might have seen our previous unboxing of the Molekule Air Pro Purifier. While it’s vital to breathe clean air in your home – where you spend much of your time – wouldn’t you like to know what exactly you’re breathing? Enter this device: the uHoo Indoor Air Quality Sensor. Let’s check out its features.

Simple design and low maintenance

At first glance, you’ll notice that the uHoo is petite – about the size of a water bottle. It has a very simple design, with no buttons and no screens. Simply plug it in, download the app and control it from your phone. You can also connect it to your Google Home or Alexa for quick voice reports on your air quality or just check the temperature.

Nine factors of air quality

The uHoo is an air quality detection device with nine dedicated sensors, so it monitors your indoor air and lets you know if you have a problem. Using the app, you can get alerts, tips, and view real-time insights on nine factors it tracks. Using this data, you can make better decisions about when to open a window, turn on a fan, use a humidifer or dehumidiefer. These actionable steps help improve your air quality which effects overall health.

Temperature – Many people who don’t sleep well at night don’t have their room cool enough. 

Humidity – Mold loves moist environments. If you can monitor humidity, you can avoid mold as much as possible.

Air pressure – Change in pressure can cause headaches and other symptoms. 

Dust – The uHoo can detect the smallest classification of particulate matter (PM), which is 2.5 microns; this is the size of a speck of dust.

Carbon dioxide – A normal amount of carbon dioxide can help you have a clearer head and better focus.

Carbon monoxide – People have carbon monoxide alarms in their homes for a reason! It can be very dangerous.

Nitrogen dioxide – This harmful gas can affect your lung health and breathing.

VOCs – Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) come from many cleaning products. 

Ozone – You may not know that O3 (ozone) can be harmful to your respiratory system.

Virus index

Finally, the uHoo has a virus index so you can monitor the likelihood of a virus surviving your indoor air. A score of 1-3 means virus survival and spread are unlikely; a score of 9-10 means the opposite. When leveraging multiple uHoo devices to provide coverage and insight across multiple spaces like in an office building — uHoo provides a comprehensive business dashboard to manage it all. What do you think? Do you need more insight into your home or office air quality?

**This article about Acuva Solarix UV Disinfecting Wand is co-authored by Hannah Buczek of Bold TV.

Welcome back to Show and Tell, where I unbox sweet tech for every area of your life. The past year has turned many people into germaphobes. Our phones got wiped with disinfecting wipes for the first time ever, and we would’ve fallen over rather than hold onto the subway rails. So, the newest tech you probably never heard of before 2020 is the pandemic is UV light. From the biggest tech companies to the lowest knockoff brands, manufacturers have started making UV products of all forms and sizes. In this segment, we unbox the Acuva Solarix UV Disinfecting Wand to see how it stands out.

Technology from a water purification company

One of the best features of the Solarix is that it doesn’t feel like a cheap knock-off. Acuva is best-known for its water purification systems — for refrigerators, water fountains, and more — that use IntenseBeam purification technology. Their UV disinfecting wand has three LEDs that can kill bacteria and viruses in 10 seconds. And it has an additional two blue lights to help you pinpoint the area to disinfect. If you use it for 15 minutes a day, it should last for 500 hours, and it’s rechargeable.

Easy to use on-the-go

How would you use a disinfecting wand? The possibilities are endless: Phones, keyboards, and even steering wheels need a good cleaning. The Solarix works for flat or contoured surfaces, so wave it over your TV remote or keys to kill those germs. And if you want to sanitize on the go, the disinfecting wand is small enough to fit in your pocket, purse, or fanny pack. Do you or someone you know need the Solarix? Hey, maybe you could sanitize the Subway rail from now on!

**This article about LOCKLY Vision Smart Lock is co-authored by Hannah Buczek of Bold TV.

Welcome back to Show and Tell, where I unbox sweet tech for every area of your life. More and more companies are creating home security products. Why? They’re in demand. People want to do whatever it takes to keep themselves and their families safe. So, in this episode, we unbox a device just announced at CES 2021: LOCKLY Vision™ Doorbell Camera Smart Lock. This company was a finalist for the Home Depot Innovation Award in 2020, so let’s see how the smart lock checks out.

Different ways to unlock your LOCKLY Vision™

One of the common issues with keypad entry is that experienced people could see where your fingers have smudged certain numbers. But this device has a patented PIN Genie® touchscreen that randomly shuffles the numbers’ locations. There will be no way to backtrack and determine your code. Any unsuccessful attempts will be recorded and saved. The Vision also has biometric entry; if you don’t want to remember a PIN, just use your fingerprint! Worst case scenario, Vision still allows the old-fashioned key entry. 

Temporary codes

What if you need your delivery driver to place your package inside? What if your friend, family member, or babysitter needs to get into the house? Vision has Generate Offline Access™ technology. You can set temporary PIN codes for the person that expires within a specific period of time. Then, you can track how that code was used — and your regular PIN won’t be floating around for someone to find.

Extra functionality

Like every smart product these days, the Vision is also integrated with your smart home assistants, such as Alexa and Google Home. Tell your virtual assistant to lock or unlock your doors whenever you want. Also, the Vision has an HD camera. You’ll be able to see live streaming footage of what’s happening outside your front door – whether people are stealing your packages or checking your locks. This is a special combination of smart lock and smart doorbell technology. What else can the LOCKLY Vision Smart Lock do? Check out the full unboxing video.

“Immersion is what happens when you lose track of things around you while you’re doing something. A world of worlds is a world that is full of unexplored opportunities, experiences, and people. When you lose track of yourself in a world of unexplored opportunities, you have Karma the Game of Destiny.” 

– Robert Porter, Co-Founder and CEO

Now that Karma The Game is available on iOS and Android to download now, the team led by co-founders Robert Porter and René Reyes has continued working towards making this platform the best and only option for anyone looking to meet new people, have fun, and, of course, make some money out of it.

Sounds interesting? Then keep reading because here’s everything you need to know about the Social Eco Platform that’s taking the world by storm.

A world of worlds in the gaming world

Social media is a big part of our lives these days. With the average user having around eight social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Tinder, Instagram, etc.), it is difficult – if not impossible – to find a single platform that combines most functionalities and satisfies all the users’ interests… until now. 

At Karma, the platform provides users worldwide with all the possibilities and interactions of other social media sites at a single place and through an immersive gaming experience. Cool, but what does that mean? 

Essentially, it is an online eco-social platform to innovate the way social relationships are held – moving them to a safe digital 3D space. 

Karma, The Game of Destiny – is an immersive new platform that will allow users to communicate and game simultaneously in virtual reality. Like Karma in real life, Karma the Game of Destiny reflects your actions within the mobile app. Meet new friends and create memorable moments from the palm of your hand. 

Endless Interactions

At Karma, the founders knew that when it comes to eco-social platforms, user experience is vital. That is why they have developed an immersive gaming experience, in which users can feel and enjoy all types of social interactions – just as they would do in real life. 

All types? Yes! 

Karma isn’t only about gaming. Through Karma, users will be able to meet new people, date, and even earn some extra cash. 

Dating

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you combined Pokemon Go and Tinder? If you have, well, welcome to Karma. 

This social-eco platform encourages users to connect with each other and live a romantic life in a fun and adventurous way through an immersive experience online. Put another way: Karma allows users to manifest the love life they want in a gamified virtual environment.

At Karma, you can meet potential partners based on aspects such as Values, Compatibility, and Intimate Preferences. If you’re unsure which features are better for you, an Artificial Intelligence system will give you a hand and suggest the best matches for you! 

Social events

Do you love concerts? Love having dinner with your friends and going to the movies? Love the theatre? No matter your preferred social activities –you can find them in Karma and enjoy them across different modalities: by yourself, with a date, with friends, etc. We offer you all the fun and variety of the outside world online. 

Earn money

Yes, you love games, you love dates, but you also love money, right? Karma has got you covered! 

You can easily earn money while playing Karma through the referrals program. All you need to do is become a Karma Ambassador and invite your friends and followers to play the game. As if having your friends online is not rewarding enough, you will also be making money! 

At Karma, Ambassadors are highly valued, and through the referral program, they provide real-world prizes such as tickets to events, travels, and other real-world entertainment options. 

Merging Real & Digital Life

Being an eco-social platform, users should be able to engage in digital and in real-life interactions. That is why Karma will be planning activities, travels, and hosting events where its users can attend and meet in real life.   

The idea behind this is, if you have great friends and potential romantic partners online – there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to meet them and have fun with them in the real world. We emphasize the fact that you can meet up in the real world. 

Core Values: Diversity, Privacy, and Safety

With over 200 different portals to play in (there are 200 different virtual environments available!), you will likely never get bored. This game is all about offering the users the opportunity to engage in any social activity they can think about, and there are more on the way! Karma offers the opportunity to explore the virtual world in all the ways you want to experience the real world. A variety of options and diverse experiences are the point of engagement brought to you every time you log on.  

In the same vein, safety is hugely important to the platform. 

With Karma, you don’t need to worry about privacy, nor about exposing yourself to strangers online. How is this accomplished? 

Players in this game are anonymous and can choose any image they want to represent themselves. Furthermore, any targeted coupons they wish to purchase and prizes and advertised products will be processed through the User Interface, guaranteeing a safer transaction. 

Lastly, your pictures and videos will remain safely stored on the platform, and only you will decide if and who to share them with at the touch of a button. Safety is one of the platform’s core values, and Karma goes through multiple measures to ensure everyone has a worry-free experience. 

How to play Karma

At Karma, they didn’t go with the typical subscription model. To play, all you need to do is buy tokens via their website. Each token will last for 30 days after being purchased, and the game will ask for a new token after 25 days. As a player, this means that once you run out of tokens, you will have to choose between renewing or bailing from the game (in which case they entirely delete your data). 

How much do these tokens cost?

You can purchase them for $1.99; $3.99; $6.99; and $9.99. They all provide access to all the game features and vary based on how many lives the player has for the next 30 days. The higher the price, the more lives you have. 

Once you have the tokens, you will be welcomed into the game by the host, Sudo Al – best known as “The Guru” – who will challenge you to connect and interact with other players and take you through the most incredible digital adventure of your life.

“Karma the Game of Destiny takes the utility of dating apps, meetup, classified advertising, opportunity hunting, data ownership, and crypto and mashes it all together to offer a whole new level of use and entertainment by creating an Immersive Entertainment experience.  The internet will come alive around you, and the game stage will be every major city around the world; we will give you an adventure that escalates over time and is filled with endless possibilities for you to discover.”

– René Reyes, Chairman and Founder
