I Recently Came Across a Web3 Gaming Project Called FISH

I’ve been looking at different Web3 gaming projects recently, and one that caught my attention is FISH.

What I found interesting is that FISH doesn’t seem to be just another game with a token and some NFTs attached to it. The idea feels a bit broader. It’s trying to bring gaming, Web3, and different forms of player participation into one ecosystem.

One of the first things I noticed was how it approaches user engagement.

A lot of Web3 projects today follow a pretty similar formula.

Sign up, check in every day, complete a few tasks, invite some friends, earn Points, and then wait for the TGE.

It works, of course. But after doing the same thing across enough projects, it can start to feel repetitive.

FISH feels like it’s trying to take a different approach.

Instead of making users complete a long list of tasks just to earn Points, the idea seems to be that you earn Points and rewards naturally while actually playing and participating.

There’s also educational content around Web3 and poker. Through its grading system, users can take quizzes at different levels.

The quizzes themselves aren’t particularly complicated, but what makes the system more interesting is that learning doesn’t just end once you finish a quiz. Your progress can connect to other experiences and opportunities within the platform.

That changes the dynamic quite a bit.

For most people, “learning” alone probably isn’t a strong enough reason to keep coming back to a game.

But if what you learn unlocks something else you can participate in, then it starts to feel much more like part of the game itself.

That’s why FISH doesn’t really feel like a traditional Web3 game to me.

It feels more like it’s gradually building a participation system around the player.

You can play, compete, learn, accumulate progress, and potentially unlock new opportunities based on what you’ve already done.

Of course, it’s still too early to judge FISH.

The hardest part of Web3 gaming has never been launching a few game modes or adding a reward system. The real challenge is whether players actually want to stay.

That’s something only time can prove.

But if you’re already getting tired of the usual “complete tasks, earn Points, wait for TGE” loop, FISH might be worth checking out.

At least for now, it’s experimenting with a direction I find interesting: making the game itself the reason people participate in Web3, rather than turning the game into just another way to farm Points.

And that’s probably the part of FISH I’ll be watching most closely.
