Marketing

[Campaign Category] Category Questions

Who you’re targeting, how you’ll reach them, and why this matters for Cardano.

We target corporate teams in France/EU (managers, HR, CIOs, finance/tech). We reach them via our client base, escape‑game portfolio, trade shows, partner referrals, and direct sales. This matters because Wallet Quest teaches wallet safety, seed phrases, transactions, NFTs, DIDs, and staking through play, turning first contact into informed users and future PoCs on Cardano.

Provide a list of key activities of your project?

Design wallet‑safety curriculum and puzzles; write the Game Design Document; build lock/combination flow; produce assets and bilingual content; integrate into kit and digital supports; run internal tests and pilot; deliver corporate sessions; provide take‑home materials; publish impact data; prepare Qualiopi audit; market via events and partnerships; collect feedback and iterate.

What are your success metrics?

12‑month targets: sessions delivered; employees engaged; wallet/seed‑phrase mastery rate (quiz score); testnet transactions executed; NFTs minted; delegation actions; partner integrations used; satisfaction (NPS); repeat bookings; corporate PoCs initiated; public impact reports. Baseline goal: ~15 sessions, ~750 participants, ≥80% quiz pass rate, ≥1 corporate POC.

[Your Project and Solution] Solution

Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem

Problem

For most employees, blockchain remains an abstraction. Without a concrete, hands-on experience, Cardano never enters their business conversations.

Solution – Crypto Quest, Cardano Edition

Our proposal is an innovative corporate team-building format that transforms a 1h30 to 2h fun session into a true practical initiation to the blockchain ecosystem and to Cardano.

Objective: to make the Cardano blockchain tangible for non-technical audiences (managers, HR, CIOs, sales teams) by putting them in real-life usage situations, while strengthening their team cohesion.

The mission: as a team, recover the security phrase of our crypto wallet, locked inside our safe. At each stage of opening the locks, participants learn more about how blockchain works.

Detailed concept – one-shot team-building format (1h30 to 2h30)

Brief : Participants, in teams of 6 to 8 people, discover that they own a Cardano crypto wallet containing ADA… but have lost their seed phrase.

This recovery key is locked inside a physical safe (a 30cm x 20cm wooden box) secured with several padlocks.

To open them, they must complete a series of educational challenges and puzzles about the Cardano blockchain, covering its protocols, use cases, and advantages.

Each successful challenge earns them a piece of the combinations leading to the recovery of their key.

The investigation :

• Immersion and storytelling

The teams receive their mission, a locked safe, and an investigation kit (physical and digital clues). The tension rises: they have 90 minutes before their wallet is “destroyed.”

The safe has 5 different locks and a final coded box to open inside.

• Enigma and integrated educational modules

  • Blockchain exploration: retrieve the exact balance of an ADA address to understand Cardano’s transparency and transaction traceability → Code for the 1st lock.
  • NFT & marketplace: identify specific NFTs linked to virtual objects to discover how NFTs work and their concrete uses on Cardano → Code for the 2nd lock.
  • Energy comparison: analyze the environmental cost of different blockchains to understand the advantages of Cardano’s Proof of Stake architecture → Code for the 3rd lock.
  • Decentralized digital identity: access a blockchain digital identity by providing the required proofs, raising awareness of security and data protection → Code for the 4th lock.
  • Transactions and fees: perform testnet ADA transactions and calculate fees to understand the network economy → Code for the 5th lock.

• Final resolution

Once all the locks are opened, the seed phrase is recovered and the team “saves” its wallet. A collective debrief highlights the key learnings.

Learning by doing : Participants handle Cardano concepts (wallets, transactions, NFTs, DIDs) in a playful and collaborative context. Each blockchain-related puzzle comes with a guide in their booklet, enabling them to build skills while playing.

Integrated educational modules : Interactive tutorials and real-world use cases (finance, supply chain, digital identity) are built into the game to illustrate Cardano’s applications.

Cooperation and competition : The format encourages teamwork and collaboration, while boosting motivation through a leaderboard.

Inspired by our successful AI workshops — where creating a comic book or a song made it possible to simplify complex concepts — the Crypto Quest team building opens the way to a new corporate format combining fun and learning.

Target audience and engagement

Our solution is aimed primarily at French and international companies of all sizes wishing to raise their teams’ awareness of blockchain and digital innovation. It is particularly suited to the finance, consulting, and tech sectors, but remains accessible to all types of organizations.

• Corporate France / Europe (finance, consulting, industry) – addressable market > 15,000 seminars/year
• Tech SMEs seeking rapid Web3 onboarding
• Cardano partners: SPOs, DEX testnets, identity providers, integrated as “mini-missions”

Who will benefit

• Companies: Our solution targets large corporations and SMEs seeking to strengthen team cohesion while introducing employees to technological innovations in blockchain.
• Employees: Based on gamification, this accessible format promotes progressive skills development and boosts team engagement.
• The Cardano community: This exposure to blockchain helps expand the ecosystem by encouraging more companies to explore Cardano-based solutions, creating a multiplier effect on adoption and innovation. This will have multiple impacts on engagement and adoption, blockchain interactivity, qualitative feedback generation, and knowledge transfer.

Conclusion

Crypto Quest converts curiosity into adoption by bringing blockchain to life for thousands of professionals while strengthening their team cohesion. We adapt a proven game mechanic to make it the preferred Cardano presentation kit for Learning & Development teams, with zero development risk, while generating clear metrics on community growth.

Crypto Quest is at once:

• an immersive game to engage,
• a pedagogical workshop to transfer knowledge,
• and an onboarding tool to grow the Cardano community among a strategic corporate audience.

Thus, even a completely novice audience leaves with a clear vision of:

• what the Cardano blockchain is,
• what it is used for,
• how to use it safely.

[Your Project and Solution] Impact

Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

Through the Crypto Quest educational game program, we transform corporate seminars into concrete touchpoints with the ecosystem, without any software development. Each session:

• Puts Cardano into the hands of new non-technical users (managers, HR, CIOs)
• Provides awareness documents to teams at the end of the game
• Publishes transparent impact data to inspire other initiatives

Key pillars for positive impact:

1. Showcase effect: By integrating Crypto Quest into seminars and team-building sessions, we expose blockchain to HR executives, CIOs, and leaders who decide innovation budgets.
2. Experimentation and adoption: First steps or rediscovery of the Cardano blockchain through gameplay; progressing through the scenario actively transfers knowledge and fosters adoption.
   1. Measurable KPIs over 12 months: Based on data from our other team-building formats (rallies, AI workshops), we can anticipate 15 signed contracts to run this team building in companies, representing around 750 employees experiencing blockchain possibilities.
3. Multiplier effect on internal innovation: The playful format sparks curiosity: after the game, companies request POC workshops (supply chain, identity, green finance). Initial testnet contacts are already a step toward mainnet deployments, generating volume and network fee revenue for Cardano.
4. Strengthening the network and synergies: Thanks to our Qualiopi certification and partner network, we can reach a wide range of companies, from SMEs to large international groups (+40 leading companies in Europe). A referral program will also allow the Cardano community to recommend the game and receive a commission, creating a virtuous cycle of dissemination and adoption.
5. Enhancing Cardano’s value for institutional stakeholders: Recognition of our approach through quality labels (Qualiopi) and the publication of public audits contribute to building Cardano’s credibility with regulators, training bodies, and institutional players, opening the door to new markets and public funding.
6. Expected outcomes for Cardano:

• A new entry point into the ecosystem for the French and European corporate sectors
• Public data demonstrating adoption progress (basis for articles, conferences)
• Open educational materials feeding other Cardano Open initiatives (quizzes, university courses, regional hubs)

In summary, Crypto Quest acts as a catalyst for Cardano adoption and innovation by transmitting blockchain knowledge through play. It positions Cardano as a reference blockchain for businesses, while strengthening the cohesion and skills of participating teams.

Live test organization for CCG live + photo/video capture : 5 000 ADA - (2%)

Trade shows : 5 000 ADA - (4%)

In case the price of ADA increases, we will offer additional services.

These additional services will involve the online deployment of another type of game mechanic. Instead of capturing animals, players will be immersed in the Risk universe, capturing territories in real time to ensure global domination over other teams.

Territories are captured in the same way: identifying them, solving a mini-game, and positioning them on a shared online map. Each territory is represented by an NFT object that can be collected to combine territories.

[Final Pitch] Value for Money

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?

1. Investing 60,000 ADA in this project means:

1. Placing Cardano in a corporate event for major European accounts, with a lived demonstration — not just a slide.
2. Turning this curiosity into on-chain flows and POCs aligned with ESG, regulatory, and business priorities.
3. Educating business employees about the Cardano ecosystem, while showcasing ecosystem projects and use cases.

Each ADA committed acts like a high-yield seed — immediate (education, visibility) and future (corporate projects, network fees, adoption).

Beyond the game: why the Cardano “showcase” triggers concrete corporate actions

Corporate Flywheel Effect

• Fun discovery of PoS and NFTs → removal of blockchain fear..
• Internal request for PoCs (green finance, traceability) → innovation budgets of €50–300k per client.
• Production transactions → new network fees, press coverage (“Company X launches on Cardano”).

Conservative estimate: 1 companies (out of 15) launch a €100k PoC in year 2 → €100k invested in the ecosystem, already >150% of the grant amount.

• 76% in production : salaries aligned with French daily rates (€500–€760/day), verifiable via platforms (Malt, Freelancerepublik).
• 7% quality : Qualiopi certification — essential for convincing CIOs to open their networks to Cardano.
• 17% in communication : In order to generate interest in the project and increase its visibility, and therefore that of the Cardano ecosystem

Total converted at €0.50/ADA = €30 000: 20× less than a global corporate hackathon (~€600k for 500 people, PwC 2024).
