🚨 GAME NIGHTS INCOMING 🚨 We have partnered with 20+ NFT communities and dapps to host and sponsor game nights! One almost EVERY night for the rest of the month. Get those hands ready, because we're starting with legends: @GobsOnApe & @mintotaurs 🤚 Details Below 👇

Who did you choose as your Dem Witches PFP? Did you notice a few honorary ones? 👀🐊 Meet Gary the Gator Hunter. And yeah, we know alliteration is lazy, but we can’t control what Gary’s mom named him 🤷‍♂️

GM Witches 😉 Don't forget to swing by Game Night (8 PM EST) in the @GobsOnApe/@mintotaurs Discord! Must be a hodler. In fact ... We updated the boosts for the next 24 hours. So the more gobs/mintos you hold, the more likely you are to be the witch 🧙‍♀️ discord.com/invite/bnRcCzxmq…

Gob/Minto Game Night Update We decided @imjameshall can handle some public pressure, so we are changing game night to an X space, not discord 😏 But before voting him out, give him a chance to defend himself! Set reminders 🔔 @GobsOnApe @mintotaurs nitter.app/i/spaces/1LyxBWaoVzrKN

🎉 Tonight we had some full games (12 players) 🎉 Shoutout to @Timmygspt & @JwalkersJPEGs for hosting us in their space and @TatoTrade/@xxDarciBoBxx10 for playing their first games! And even though @RidazLp2 was wearing jorts, he somehow managed to win as the Witch 🧙

🚨 Game Update 🚨 Previous average game length: 8-10 Minutes New average game length: 3-5 Minutes With this update, the day/night rounds will automatically end as soon as all the votes are cast 🧙‍♀️

Bubbles 👀 Dem Witches 🧙‍♀️ Bubbles 👀

GM Witches 🧙‍♀️ We have FINALLY found the pesky bug that has been driving @0xAfzal loony-toons over the last 2 weeks! It has been patched with a few other updates, and Dem Witches is ready for games again! You can also now go directly back to the lobby, once your game ends 😉

GM TownFolk 👨🏼‍🌾 Game Nights are back on 🔥 Tonight we are hosting a space with @BushBabyClub! Set your reminders and don't forget: The more Dengs and Bush Babies you hodl tonight, the more likely you are to be the Witch 🧙 nitter.app/i/spaces/1mnxegaOrMEGX

Due to server errors (likely due to a Witches Curse), we are shutting down for maintenance the rest of the day 🧙‍♀️ Go touch grass 🌳 We will be back tomorrow for another game night!

It’s Sunday! You know what that means, right?! 👾 Game Patch - Deployed 👾 We made the game quicker, more stable, updated copy, ensured the final reward is showing properly, updated animations and transitions & cleaned up the profile page. Next? Leaderboard 😈

Date: July 3rd Time: 8PM EST Place: Gobs/Mintos Discord discord.com/invite/bnRcCzxmq… Calendar with all upcoming game nights coming soon!

Dem Witches be everywhere 🧙‍♀️

GM Witches 🧙 Last call to create an account on demwitches.com and be eligible for the big giveaway!! We will be picking winners for the 9 NFTs this weekend from the first 200 signups. And tonight we will be hosting some more games. Stay tuned 🎶

OOOOOH, That was a MASTERFUL win by @ERNESTAFD1 aka Tita 🧙‍♀️ Thanks @igna_ru for hosting the space and games! ¡Buena suerte, diviértete!

1) What the heck is "Dem Witches"? If you've ever played "Among us" or "Mafia", Dem Witches is similar. But it’s fully on-chain, bringing fairness, transparency, and rewards into the mix! We wanted to build an engaging game that could be played in Discord VCs and X spaces. 5-12 players. To date, we have played over 285 test games, emitted over 27k events on-chain, executed over 2300 transactions (on @ApeChainHUB), and are currently at 73 users from our beta testing.

4) Who is the team behind Dem Witches? Dem Witches is powered entirely by (and a product of) @DENGSonApe by @kingpickle!! An 11 $Ape mint that continuously delivers to the ApeChain community. @0xAfzal is the mad genius cofounder/dev for Dem Witches, in charge of all things tech. He is the one who has put in countless hours to create something EXTRAORDINARILY innovative. Be sure to give him a follow and a compliment. He deserves it. This is his baby.

Dem Witches started on ApeChain, but it isn't stopping here 👀 Coming to more chains soon ... any guess which one(s)?

🔧 Maintenance Tonight 🔧 We are working on some bug patches until tomorrow morning, so we appreciate your patience! We want to ensure everything is as smooth as possible for all our upcoming game nights 🧙

Additionally, we know having the system bug out in the middle of the game is a bummer. So we have sent some @balloonsonape as gifts to all the folks playing last night before we patched everything up 🎈 @Moe_HPO // @CryptoBullyzNFT // @honeybd // @JayVegas24 // @Timmygspt // @KneeKap7100 // @iamMRJOUBREL // @AThinkingMind

3) Wait ... is it really on-chain? YUP. ENTIRELY on @ApeChainHUB 🦍 Here is the contract we are currently using (this will be upgraded in the future): apescan.io/address/0x040478c… You’ll only need to approve a transaction to join, start, or claim! Our backend wallet publishes every other event on-chain (we’ve got you covered on gas 🤝).

GM and Happy 4th to all our Witches and Townfolk out there 🎆 We are using today to work on our server stability a little more 🛠️ If anything goes all whacky while you play today, don’t panic! Dm us. It’s probably us playing with things!

2) Official Rules 📕 The rules are simple. Everyone is assigned a role as a Townfolk once the game begins … except for ONE lucky secret Witch 🧙 The Townfolk’s mission? Find and burn the witch during the daily Townhall! The Witch’s mission? Curse a Townfolk every night until only one remains! Before the game begins, every player must put in an "offering" set by the host that will be rewarded to the winners. The Night: - The game begins at night, while all the Townfolk are asleep. The witch will have 60 seconds to pick 1 Townfolk to curse AND kill 💀 - Townfolk cannot chat or engage during the night phase. - Once the witch has chosen their victim, daylight arrives. The Day: - In the morning, everyone will find out who was cursed and died. - Everyone (including the secret witch) will have 3 minutes to discuss who they think the witch may be and cast their votes. - Each Townfolk gets 1 vote that cannot be changed. - The player who receives the most votes is burned at the stake 🔥 - In the case of a tie, a revote is cast between the tied parties. The Rewards: The game ends when one of two conditions are met: - When the witch has killed all but 1 Townfolk. - When the Townfolk have successfully identified and burned the Witch. - If the Witch wins, they can claim the entire reward for themselves! - If the Townfolk win, all dead Townfolk can receive a reward equal to 50% of their offering, while the living townfolk get to split the remaining treasure!

Imagine playing Dem Witches in a Bubble 🤯🧙

SET YOUR REMINDER! Big prizes on the line 👀

5) NFT Boosts 📈 In your profile, you may have noticed a section called “NFT Boosts” 👀 Holding NFTs from either of the two listed collections (which can change over time) increases your chances of being chosen as the Witch—giving you a shot at the full reward 🤤

*rolls up our cloak’s sleeves*

We’ve got a new contender in our midst! Townfolk or Witch, @amgoodcity is a force to be reckoned with 🧙‍♀️

GM Witches & Townfolk! Thank you so much to all that tried our game yesterday. We will be implementing some of the feedback right away so if you see the game down for a brief period today, don't fret! Try again in an hour. That is probably @0xAfzal working on a patch 🧙‍♀️

7) What's next? We have no shortage of ideas, but as we grow our player base, these are the next things we had in mind: 🧹 Tournaments, incentives, game nights, and partnerships with NFT projects looking for more utility. 🧹 Deploy a v2 contract that is upgradable, fractionalized, and optimized for speed/efficiency. 🧹 Season 2 which will bring things like new player roles, hints, and power ups! There is an FAQ on the site, app.demwitches.com, but feel free to reach out to us with any questions or if you'd like us to run you through a game so you can see how it works 🤝

We’d love to have you join!! we will definitely be spinning up a handful of games tonight 🧙‍♀️

🧠 Strategy Shoutout 🧠 We call this one "The @JwalkersJPEGs Special", since he was the first one to try it successfully! When questioning a suspect, ask them to read the note that's on the Townfolk's screen. See if they hesitate or deflect 🤣 LOTS of strategies out there 🧙‍♀️

6) Game History and Stats Want to see how past matches have gone down?! You can go to the "History" tab to filter through every game that has ever been played! You can also head to your "Profile" to view YOUR match history, player stats and even claim rewards for past games 🧮

Last call to set those reminders!! Dem witches games happening all night. Prizes will be won 🥇🧙

Hey @lord__rae fire it up!

We’re developing a special talisman for @prolifer4tion to protect him from voted out in the first round. Not sure we can make a talisman that protects him forever though….

5 spots left!

Congrats on the win!! Many more to come 🧙‍♀️

Now the room has to fill to 5 players and the host has to start the game! IF the room isn't filled or started in 1 hour from when it was created, it will cancel and refund everyone

As we start hosting tournaments, incentives, and even integrate glyph from @yugalabs so web2 folks can play with a google account, the rooms will start to become plentiful! For now try to grab some frens, spin up a quick x space, or let us know anytime you need more players!

While the townfolk are asleep, the witches will play 😈

RUN IT BACK, BURN EM UP 🔥
