And so we have this constant feed of things that we can build. And I think right now things are constantly moving around as we get new users on board and priorities are shifting. But primarily like the focus, our North Star is can we make this like fun? Not going to make this fun just one time, but can we make this be an infinite source of fun?

That sort of helps us align with our roadmap and our decision-making of, okay, does this sort of get us closer to that vision of building these infinite games that never run out of content and are dynamic and are shaped by the players that play them? My name is Rohit Varanasi, and I'm the co-founder and CEO of Block Party.

My co-founder and I, we've been working on different products over the past couple of years. The most recent one that we launched is called Block Party. Block Party turns the whole world into a giant human monopoly, more or less. You connect your health kit, you walk around and you earn and gain currency for just walking. One step equals one energy. That's what we call it.

And then you can use your steps and energy to buy buildings in the real world. On top of that, we have different items that are just scattered all over the world. They're called drops, and you can go open these drops and you'll get different items of varying rarities. And you can use these items to go upgrade your buildings and build up your green buildings, sort of territory build.

But the core part of all of this that we're excited about is that it's not deterministic. Every game that's existed up until today is somewhat deterministic in the sense that every asset, every screen, every whatever that you see, that a player sees has to have been pre-computed. It has to have existed before that player did that action.

I think what we're doing that I'm really excited about is we're using gen AI as a core mechanic. So really there's infinite, endless outcomes. And I think we're at a paradigm shift in gaming. Using Gen AI, like I said, allows us to create endless and infinite replayability, or experiences with infinite replayability. That's a high-level overview of Block Party.

It's this really fun mobile game where there's endless outcomes. Every action you do results in a unique visual and experience that no one has seen before.
