You might think you know the story of Santa and his elves...but you don't. The big man in red is known for his love for cookies and his yearly mission of gifting to all of the good boys and girls, but MANY mysteries remain...
How does Santa know who has been naughty or nice? What exactly do the elves do? What is the purpose of a snowman? Why does Santa trouble himself to bring children coal or toys?
Merry Modz is a feature-length story told over multiple platforms and made its debut as an NFT generative art product in November 2021. Merry Modz will expand upon the lore of Christmas, help people of all ages connect with their inner wonderment, and bring a new NFT spin to the most magical time of the year. The NFT drop featured 10,000 3D full-body characters imbued with holiday cheer, based on the hand-drawn works of the legendary artist Herrera Box. You can grab yours on OpenSea now.
Get your cookies and milk ready and don your warmest winter clothes. This year you are going to the North Pole...and it won't be anything like you expect!
a blizzard of Merry Modz fun!!
- 🎄 Merry Modz is a story produced by Impact Theory Studios. It's a massive franchise, starting as a festive season-themed NFT collection and transitioning into TV, video games, and even a movie.
- As with every Impact Theory story, this is designed to leave you with a newfound sense of empowerment — that you are more capable at the end of the story than you were at the beginning. In Merry Modz, a snowman named SnoBo believes he is incapable of change and growth. He has been told to be afraid, that he is going to melt. After SnoBo accidentally gets Santa imprisoned in a block of ice by his arch-enemy, SnoBo join forces with a team of oddballs and learns he can be a hero!
- Check out the Merry Modz lore document which will give you more insights as to what Merry Modz is all about, including storyline and character descriptions.
- Holding a Merry Modz gets you access to the 2022 IRL Modz Christmas party in LA, the Bark Decorating Experience, the 2022 Advent Calendar, the limited edition Modz Merch store, exclusive Merry Modz Discord channel where you can connect with other Christmas lovers, a rigged version of the character type you own (SnoBo, Katarina, Santa, and Elf) for access to Project Kyzen’s upcoming 3D world and more!
- The Bark Decorating Experience is a revolutionary 3D Christmas tree decorating experience powered by the blockchain. A first-of-its-kind allows Modz owners to decorate Bark, Merry Modz favorite pet tree.
- Using the concept of “wallet-aware signaling molecules” the Bark Decorating Experience gave Modz owners a custom package of virtual Christmas ornaments to decorate their one-of-a-kind Christmas tree with. The ornaments each user was given was based on the specific NFTs in their wallet, creating a highly tailored experience.
- Each year if you own a Merry Modz, you can decorate one Bark as part of the interactive Bark decorating experience, and you can then mint your very own Bark NFT. So be sure to pick up your Merry Modz before the experience begins in November.
- Krampus is the latest character in the Merry Modz franchise coming in 2022 as a part of the Bark Burn and Trade experience.
- In order to mint a Krampus NFT, you must be willing to burn three Bark NFTs that were minted during the 2021 experience. If you don’t have the three Bark NFTs to burn in order to get your Krampus NFT, you can pick them up on the secondary market. Don't miss out on the Bark Burn and Trade experience and join in the year of the Villian!
- No, only Barks that were minted during the 2021 Bark Experience can be burned in exchange for a Krampus NFT.
- Song lyrics should not be simple plot recaps, but should be based on the lore of the story. You can check out the Merry Modz lore document for tonal and lyrical inspiration.
- More info on the song contest
- The full T&Cs and contest instructions will be announced
- On December 9th, 2022, Impact Theory will be hosting a very merry Modzmas Christmas party, free for all Merry Modz holders. YOU MUST, HOWEVER, RSVP to guarantee your spot. If you don’t RSVP by September 29th 2022 you will NOT be able to attend.
