Gameplay
How do I start playing after setting up my profile?
After joining a game and opting into your step provider, you need to deposit the required tokens set by the crew captain. Ensure your step provider app is synced daily with your Moonwalk profile.
What happens if I meet or fail to meet my daily step goal?
If you meet the daily crew step goal or keep pace with the crew leaders, your deposit is safe. If you fail, you forfeit a portion of your deposit, which is distributed among successful crew members.
How are game winnings distributed?
Winnings are distributed based on the number of successful daily targets met relative to other crew members. The total deposit pool is divided proportionally among successful participants.

If you don't meet your goal, a portion of your deposit is forfeited and shared among those who did meet their goals. It's a way to motivate you to stay active, but remember to set realistic goals.
Are there any fees for participating in Moonwalk games?
Moonwalk does not charge any fees on games. All games operate as a closed system for deposits.
Can I change my daily step goal?
The daily step goal is set at the beginning of each game by the crew's captain. It's fixed for the duration of that game, so communicate with your captain if you have concerns about the set goal.
What happens at the end of a game?
At the end of a game, your performance is evaluated based on the step goals. Depending on your success, you can either reclaim your full deposit or receive a portion of it, with the rest distributed to successful crew members.
