Rules

A 30-day game show co-hosted by XP Empress and The Universe Oracle. One daily oracle reading. Two USDC prizes. 999 USDC total pool.

01

What it is

The Universe Games is a 30-day campaign in which XP Empress posts one daily oracle-card reading and players earn levels by engaging with each day's post. Two prizes are awarded at season end: 888 USDC to the player with the highest total level (Best Player), and 111 USDC to the most honest action reply (Best Story). Combined prize pool: 999 USDC.

02

Eligibility

  • Open worldwide where permitted by local law.
  • Players must be 18 years of age or older.
  • No purchase necessary. Commenting on posts is free; nothing else is required to participate.
  • This campaign is not associated with, sponsored, endorsed, or administered by Instagram, Meta, YouTube, or Google.
03

How to play

Every day for 30 days, the daily reading is posted on @xpempress888 on Instagram and YouTube. To earn levels:

  1. Comment "XP" under the daily post. +1 level for that platform that day.
  2. Reply to your own XP comment with what you did differently because of the reading (a choice, a word, a move). +1 additional level.

Maximum 2 levels per platform per day. Maximum 60 levels per platform across the 30 days. Maximum 120 levels combined across Instagram + YouTube (no deduplication — playing on both platforms counts twice).

04

Prizes

888 USDC — Best Player: awarded to the player with the highest total level at the end of Season 1. Ties at the maximum are broken by random draw.
111 USDC — Best Story: awarded by the organizers to a single action reply that best demonstrates depth, honesty, and lived evidence of the reading's effect.

Total prize pool: 999 USDC. Both prizes are paid in USDC on an EVM-compatible chain (Ethereum, Polygon, Base, or similar) at season end.

05

Judging the Best Story (111 USDC)

The 111 USDC prize is awarded by XP Empress together with The Universe Oracle (the show's AI co-host) at the end of the season. Selection criteria:

  • Depth of engagement with the reading.
  • Honest evidence of the action taken.
  • Connection to the player's actual life.

One-word replies (e.g. "did it") may be excluded from the judging pool. Selection is final and not subject to appeal.

06
