The Ark: Escape From Extinction

Drops Monday, March 27th at 3 pm ET

It’s a story as old as time: a natural disaster threatens the planet, but a resolute hero battles against the odds to save it.

Noah was one such hero, creating and filling his ark with wildlife oh so many years ago. Now, the Ark is yours. And so is the promise of glory that comes from rescuing the world’s furry, scaly, and feathered friends. Can you rescue all the animals, saving them from a catastrophic flood just on the horizon?

Introducing the ultimate 3D digital collectibles drop — “The Ark: Escape From Extinction” Collection.

Prophecies foresee a world devastated by a great flood, you are its hero. It’s up to you to collect all the 3D animals to help repopulate the earth. From majestic elephants to fearsome lions, and from colorful parrots to barking seals, every animal is a unique and valuable addition to your collection — some more than others.

The Ark Collection is more than just a collectibles drop — it’s a celebration of the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom and a reminder of the importance of conservation and preservation. So start collecting today, and join the effort to rebuild a better world.

Your Mission:

It’s simple. Gather resources and gather animals, then unlock your Ark in order to rescue the world’s wildlife before an impending flood.

• Collect all the materials to build an ark
• Collect all the animals
• If you collect ’em all before the flood hits, you unlock a special Ark vehicle to store the creatures you’ve rescued
• If you don’t own all three ark materials and all 40 animals by April 4th at 3 pm ET you will lose them all to the flood.

But this is no ordinary collection. Surprises, pitfalls, and unique characters abound at every turn.

• Pre-Conditions to Animal Packs: collectors MUST hold all 3 necessary Ark Materials (nail, hammer, wood) in their possession in order to gain access to packs containing animals; you can come late, too…at any point that a collector completes all 3 Ark Materials, the Animal Packs will open up.
• Award Items with Special Powers: each set of animals unlocks 1 special white variant creature, awarded to the top 25 collectors of that set; each white variant creature has special powers to be announced after the flood.
• Potential Bad Actors: each set contains 1 or more Shinies; not all the animals are friendly, so beware of future mutineer animals with their own malevolent abilities.
• Print Number Genetics: each animal is individually serialized, like #4/300; the first number (e.g., #4) is known as the Print Number; the lower the Print Number you hold per animal, the more off-spring they’ll be able to produce when they breed should you succeed in rescuing them.
• The Flood Destroys Items: if you do NOT own all 3 necessary Ark Materials and all 40 regular Animal items by the time the flood hits, your materials and animals will be destroyed
• WARNING: Yes, the flood arrives at 3 pm ET Tuesday, April 4th and if you do not own all 3 Ark Materials and all 40 Animals, any Ark Materials and Animal items will drown in the flood (e.g., be burned from circulation) and will no longer appear in your collection. Like Noah, there are no half measures; you must complete all regular items in the Collection (excluding Award Items) to unlock the Ark and to rescue your animals, or your animals perish!

SET DETAILS:

Ark Materials

• The rain has begun and your time to build the ark is limited. If you want to escape extinction you must have your ark. Collect the wood, hammers, and nails needed to start construction. It shouldn’t be too difficult, but the rules of survival are simple: if your boat doesn't float, you drown.
• This set is free but only for the first 24 hours (until March 28th at 2 pm ET). After that, you have to pay to play.
• All collectors are eligible for this set, but completing this set is a requirement for access to the packs in the primary market 3D animal sets to come. You can buy from the aftermarket, but the well-priced packs are only available on the primary market, so don’t miss out.
• There is no award for this set.

Farm Animals:

• A set of 10 resilient farm animals — including cows, pigs, chickens, goats, sheep, and more — are easily domesticated and bred. They are the perfect candidates for the first group of animals to join you on the ark. With you at the helm, repopulating the planet and ensuring the survival of the animal species will be a breeze.
