Start Playing Now
You can start playing anytime by going to the Fomo3D site. In order to play, you'll just need the following:
- Metamask setup on your computer and/or TrustWallet on your mobile phone.
- Ethereum available in your Metamask Wallet used to purchase keys.
- Visit the Fomo3D site and buy some keys.
Check out our setup guide for a step-by-step rundown on everything you need to get going.
The Game
Prefer Video? Check out the official Fomo3D walkthrough by @Lil Stronghands which walks you through how the game works.
Fomo3D is a decentralized, trustless blockchain game running directly on the Ethereum network. Here are the basics of how Fomo3D works:
- This is a lottery game in which the last person to buy a key at the end of a round wins the pot!
- During a round, people can purchase 1 or more keys which adds time to the timer and marks them as the current leader. With each key purchase during the round, the key price increases slightly.
- Players receive a stream of passive income from the game as keys are bought during the round. These rewards can be withdrawn anytime.
- When the timer reaches zero, last person to buy a key wins! (F3D players/P3D holders get a piece too!)
With a few cool added game mechanics:
- Players select from one of four teams which determine certain rules during the round.
- P3D holders receive dividends on each key purchase and at the end of the round.
- Players can purchase a vanity URL and/or refer your friends to the game for extra rewards.
- Buying keys offers you a % chance to receive an "airdrop" winning ETH from a growing side-pot!
For a more detailed rundown, check out the Rules of the Game section.
Game Modes
Fomo3D is split up into two separate games each designed with custom rulesets to generate different experiences, volumes, and different scales of jackpots: long and quick. Long is launching first, and then quick will be launched at a later date.
Notable differences include that long does not have an ICO phase, uses different timer durations, and has a totally different key price scaling model than the quick mode. Quick mode details can be found here. For full details, check out the Game Modes section.

Magic Blockchain Technology:
Fomo3D is a decentralized application (Dapp) running on the Ethereum exit-scam network. The game consists of a smart contract (an autonomous program on the Ethereum network) carefully programmed and deployed so that we as developers have no influence or impact upon the game, the Ethereum in the contract, or advantages thereof. The application itself is completely trustless, will run until the Ethereum network dies and no matter how tantalizingly large the pot gets, will only be paid out according to the game rules.
This means that to successfully experience the glory of running away with a giant wallet of Ethereum, or cursing the name of thine enemies as they attempt to do the same, You need Metamask or a compatible Ethereum wallet with a bit of eth in it to send to Metamask so you can suffer along with us!

Understanding Blockchain Games
The core functionality of this game is entirely powered only by a deployed open-source Ethereum smart contract. Smart contracts are immutable and this means there is no one who has access to these funds but this autonomous program. You can see the full source code for the contract managing this exchange at any time.
This specifics of interacting with a blockchain game may surprise you at first. This section tries to lay out the important things to understand:
- Smart contracts require a transaction to be sent for every action taken. This means that every action you take on the exchange requires a transaction to be sent through by the user on the Ethereum network. All actions including buying keys, withdrawing from your vault, picking a vanity name, etc, require a "0" ETH transaction to be sent (with GAS which costs Ether, make sure you account for this!). This is why you see so many "0" ether transactions here.
- The Fomo3D smart contract manages all the funds for this exchange. However, accessing secure smart contract data can be a bit slow at times under high load which is why the game front-end site often may feel sluggish. You can always use backup sites to perform all the same functionality.
