When we announced Acid Gamez as the first Forest Studios incubation, we said every studio coming through the program would feed directly into the Forest Protocol economy. That the games would be real, the campaigns would be meaningful, and the rewards would go to the players who show up.

Today that commitment goes live.

Acid Gamez has eight titles in development. The first game, Stack, is already on Forest Protocol, a skill-based stacking game where players build the tallest tower they can, one perfectly timed block at a time. Stack has been in warm-up since launch, with hundreds of players already onboard before any formal campaign. Now it's time to turn it on.

We're kicking off the largest play campaign in Forest Protocol history: $10,000 worth of $STACK distributed to players across multiple seasons. This is how Forest turns gaming into a shared economy and it starts today.

Season 1: Campaign Details

Season 1 launches on April 23rd and runs through May 7th, a two-week sprint.

The Season 1 reward pool is $1,000 worth of $STACK out of the total $10,000 campaign, with remaining seasons and their allocations to be announced as the campaign progresses.

There are two leaderboards: Score and Quest. 80% of the season's rewards go to the score leaderboard. 20% go to the quest leaderboard. Overall, the biggest rewards go to the players who are best at playing it.

Score Leaderboard — Top 100 Players (80% of pool: $800)

The score leaderboard resets every season and ranks players by their in-game high score. The top 100 earn rewards each season on a tiered structure:

1st Place: $120

2nd Place: $80

3rd Place: $60

4th–10th: $20 each

11th–25th: ~$6 each

26th–100th: ~$4 each

A player who dominates Season 1 starts at zero in Season 2. No permanent advantages, just skill.

Quest Leaderboard — Top 100 Players (20% of pool: $200)

The quest leaderboard rewards daily engagement and community growth. Points are earned through daily check-ins, hitting score targets, landing perfect stacks, inviting friends, and completing social quests. The top 100 players by quest points share the pool on a pro-rata basis. Inviting friends earns the maximum points.
