A new mobile party game enters the scene with Web3 integration
Pudgy Penguins and Mythical Games have launched “Pudgy Party,” a global multiplayer mobile game built around the widely recognized Pudgy Penguins characters. Available now on both iOS and Android, the title introduces a blend of mini-game chaos, collectible customization, and blockchain ownership in a casual, accessible format. The launch also ties into the broader culture of internet-driven trends, overlapping with the same viral energy that fuels the rise of meme coins.
Pudgy Party features a cast of animated penguins, each with its own personality and abilities, engaging players in a variety of quickfire mini-games. The design emphasizes low-stakes competition, cozy aesthetics, and multiplayer fun—catering to both solo players and those looking to join with friends.
The heart of Pudgy Penguins has always been about connection and spreading good vibes. Bringing our beloved, viral characters to life in a mobile multiplayer game is an exciting step forward in our mission to create joyful, meaningful experiences for our growing global community. Pudgy Party is fun, accessible to players of all ages, and designed to bring people together.
—Luca Netz, CEO of Pudgy PenguinsBeyond its gameplay loop, Pudgy Party adds a Web3 layer via blockchain-based collectibles. Players can earn and equip costumes, emotes, and avatars in either non-tradable (NAT) or limited edition (LE) formats. The LE versions can be traded through Mythical Games’ NFT marketplace, and NAT versions can be minted into LEs using in-game items called Talismans. These items also offer upgrade paths, adding progression and rarity mechanics to the game’s digital assets.
Pudgy Penguins is one of the few Web3 brands that has successfully broken through to mainstream audiences, thanks to their strong retail presence and highly engaged community. We’re thrilled to launch Pudgy Party with them and bring this playful IP to gamers around the world. This is exactly the kind of project that shows how Web3 can deliver fun, value, and accessibility to everyone.
—John Linden, CEO of Mythical GamesWhat players can expect at launch
The release includes Season 1: Dopameme Rush, inspired by meme culture and internet humor. Players can unlock tongue-in-cheek costumes such as Ballerina Cappucina and John Pork, as well as climb global leaderboards and enter competitive tournaments. The game’s structure is designed around monthly seasons, offering both free and premium content tiers.
Pudgy Party also supports real-time tournaments using a round-robin format, giving players a chance to win prizes and rise through the rankings. Seamless integration with Mythical’s blockchain infrastructure enables players to trade digital goods without leaving the app.
Built on the Mythical Platform—known for powering titles like NFL Rivals and Blankos Block Party—Pudgy Party supports both Web2 and Web3 audiences. It introduces a frictionless way to engage with blockchain-based ownership while preserving the feel of a casual mobile game.
The bottom line

By merging familiar mobile gameplay with blockchain-powered customization and tradeable assets, the title offers a hybrid experience for a broad range of players.
