The highly anticipated Builders’ Challenge 3 returns to The Sandbox metaverse on February 26, 2025, offering a fresh and exciting opportunity for creators. Based on valuable community feedback, this edition introduces a revamped format that promises to be shorter, fairer, and more engaging—giving participants the chance to earn rewards through genuine creativity and player engagement.
What’s New in Builders’ Challenge 3?
The latest iteration of the Builders’ Challenge has been carefully redesigned to make it more accessible and rewarding for creators:
1. A Shorter, More Impactful Format
For this edition, the challenge will run for four weeks—down from longer durations in previous editions. This condensed timeline is designed to keep the energy high and the excitement fresh, allowing for quicker feedback and more dynamic improvements.
2. No Leaderboards or Boosters
Gone are the competitive leaderboards and boosters. This change aims to level the playing field by focusing on genuine player engagement and creativity rather than external advantages. The challenge now places a greater emphasis on quality rather than competition.
3. Engagement-Based Rewards
A brand-new reward system has been implemented, shifting the focus to the interactions players have with the experiences. Creators will be rewarded based on:
- Visits – The number of players exploring the experience
- Playtime – How long players remain engaged with the game
- Overall Engagement – The depth of interaction within the experience
4. Balanced Reward Distribution
In this new structure, there’s no fixed prize pool limit. Instead, rewards are scaled based on player engagement. However, each experience can earn up to 50,000 SAND, ensuring fair distribution and providing opportunities for multiple creators to benefit.
