Daily question limits scale with a wallet’s Neo N3 activity, and users must play on at least three days to submit a final guess; Ledger wallets are excluded.
Each participant pays a 0.5 GAS entry fee that tops up a base 200 GAS pool, which is shared among wallets that correctly identify the mystery gift by Dec. 30

Neo has released a holiday-themed game titled “Grouchy, Grinchy, Grumpy AI Christmas,” inviting community members to recover a mystery gift by questioning an artificial intelligence designed to provide unhelpful responses, according to an announcement from the blockchain platform.

The web-based game, available at xmas.neo.org, is powered by SpoonOS infrastructure. Players must identify a gift that the AI has allegedly stolen by asking questions and analyzing the responses.

The AI responds to player questions in one of three ways: lying, misdirecting, or insulting the participant, according to the game’s design. Players must determine which type of response they received and extract useful hints to identify the correct answer. The game encourages community collaboration through sharing responses and developing theories to decipher the mystery gift.

Neo and AI

Players receive a limited number of daily questions based on their connected wallet’s historical Neo N3 transaction history. Wallets with more activity qualify for additional daily questions. Users must participate on at least three competition days to be eligible to submit a final guess. Ledger wallets are not supported due to the arbitrary message signing requirement.

Participation requires a 0.5 GAS entry fee, which is added to the prize pool. Sending messages and submitting answers incurs no additional cost. A base prize pool of 200 GAS will be increased by collected entry fees and divided among participants who correctly identify the gift at the event’s conclusion.

The event began operation and is scheduled to run until 00:00 UTC on December 30, according to Neo.
