Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I learn about the blockchain?
You’ve probably already heard about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, and the technology called blockchain that powers them. Or maybe you’ve heard of NFTs selling for millions of dollars. Many people believe that the blockchain is a breakthrough technology that could revolutionize economic exchanges, international finance, logistics, and even the art and entertainment industries. Others believe that it’s all hype, duping unsuspecting people into risking their savings on unproven speculative assets. Whatever you might think about it, blockchain is surely one of the most important technological subjects of our time, and it’s critical to understand how it works- what it can do, and where its limits lie.
Is this a game or a class?
It’s both! We alternate between short videos, usually around 5 minutes long, and levels of our game, which take about 10-15 minutes each. This class is made for everyone.
Do I need to know anything to play?
There are no prerequisites. You don't need to be a math, computer, or finance geek. Playing the game lets you experiment with a simulation of a real blockchain, as you solve puzzles and communicate with fellow hackers. Watching the videos, on the other hand, gives you a deeper understanding of the history and ramifications of the material, as well as touching on fun anecdotes to satisfy your curiosity.
How long does it take?
The whole experience takes around 2-3 hours if you play it straight through. But you can also take your time and play at your own pace, and even return to levels and videos whenever you want.
Is it bad for the environment?
It’s true that BitCoin in particular consumes a lot of electricity, and thus has negative environmental impacts. In fact we discuss this in our videos! However, this class is just a simulation of a blockchain, and so doesn’t consume any more energy than any other computer program running on your computer or phone.
Can I really learn through playing a game?
In many people’s minds, games are synonymous with fun, and learning with work. But actually, games are an excellent medium for learning. Games are interactive- they allow you to experiment, encourage you to overcome your failures, and reward your successes. Thus, games are an ideal way to keep yourself engaged and entertained, maintaining your attention on otherwise difficult subjects. Indeed, blockchain is a difficult concept to wrap your head around, because of how abstract it all sounds. Despite the large number of articles and videos on the subject, cryptocurrency remains a mystery for most of us. In order to get a grasp of how it works, you need to dive in head first and manipulate it.
Do I get a certificate I can show my school or employer?
Absolutely. Upon successful completion, you'll receive a digital certificate backed by the blockchain, so you can prove its authenticity. You can even integrate it into your LinkedIn page or CV.
I would like to teach blockchain at my school, company, or non-profit. Can I use Blockchain Battle in my class?
Blockchain Battle has been used to teach many students at business and engineering schools. It's a wonderful way to introduce students to the subject without boring them. It can be used both on its own, or as a complement to lectures and other learning activities. Please contact us at [email protected] so we can figure out the best way to integrate into your organization.
I have another question! How can I contact you?
