What is hhn nft?
Halloween Horror Nights NFT Scavenger Hunt was a mobile game powered by Hypermint and created by MoonPay during Halloween Horror Nights 31 and Halloween Horror Nights 2022 (Hollywood).
Building upon the solid foundation of their existing partnership, Moonpay, a crypto payments platform that allows users to buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies with traditional payment methods such as credit cards, has joined forces with Universal Studios to bring more excitement to this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event through NFTs.
For those who are unaware, Universal Studios is a Florida-based theme park for movies and other aspects of the US entertainment industry. Halloween Horror Nights is a Halloween-themed event organized annually by Universal Studios at its parks since 1991.
For this year’s Halloween Horror Nights celebration, Universal Studios and MoonPay have introduced a scavenger hunt feature that will give attendees (at its Florida and California parks) the chance to claim as many digital collectibles as they possibly can.
Unlike minting regular NFTs on the blockchain, the team has made it clear that attendees at the event do not need to understand the workings of NFTs or advanced crypto knowledge to be able to claim their digital collectibles.
In total, the team plans to mint up to seven million NFTs via MoonPay’s HyperMint platform. The NFTs will come in seven different types and attendees who manage to lay their hands on each of the unique NFTs will be rewarded with a special “gold medal” digital collectible that will unlock other unspecified goodies.
Commenting on the initiative, MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright reiterated that the event is a huge milestone for the firm, as it effectively brings to life real-world use cases for NFTs, which are often seen by critics as mere overhyped and overvalued images.
The team says the NFTs will serve as proof of attendance protocols (POAPs) which attendees will hold as souvenirs that show they were present at the event.
The HyperMint platform was launched in June 2022 by MoonPay, in collaboration with Universal Pictures, Fox Corporation and superstar rapper Snoop Dogg’s Death Row Records, and more. The HyperMint platform is designed to make it possible for top brands to mint hundreds of digital collectibles daily.
Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Florida has debuted a new way for fear fans to show the haunted houses they have survived!
At HHN 2022 at Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood locations, attendees can collect “Proof of Attendance” (POAP) Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) for each of the participating haunted houses.
There are also two special “capstone” achievement NFTs.
When guests complete collecting NFTs at each park, they can claim an HHN Scream Squad Silver Coin.
A special Gold Coin can be claimed for the special few that go to both parks and collect all of the NFTs.
Universal has partnered with technology firm Hypermint, powered by Moonpay, to provide the digital wallets and mint and distribute the NFTs.
The actual guest experience flow is this:
The eight participating HHN Haunted Houses at Universal Studios Florida include:
The six participating HHN Haunted Houses at Universal Studios Hollywood include:
The transactions are done on the Polygon blockchain, and the Polygon blockchain is one of the most energy-efficient blockchains, where each transaction amounts to only 0.037 grams of CO2 per transaction.
To put Polygon’s sustainability into context, creating an NFT on Polygon creates fewer emissions than sending a single email.
On top of that, Polygon accounts for all its remaining emissions with high-quality carbon credits, ensuring that every NFT created is carbon neutral.
