3VEREST
3VEREST invites players to experience the thrill of summiting Mount Everest from the comfort of their homes. This Metaverse experience offers a breathtaking and gamified journey that captures the essence of the climb while educating players about the history, culture, and environmental challenges of the Himalayan region.
The game’s first chapter, Khumbu Icefall, saw a remarkable collaboration with Kenton Cool, a British adventurer renowned for his impressive expeditions including 16 summits of Mount Everest. 3VEREST quickly gained traction, with 1953 avatars minted. Since its launch, 3VEREST has seen over 40,000 visits, acquired 17000 unique players, with more than 5000 hours played.
Building on this momentum, the second chapter, The Summit, is further enhanced by Wasfia Nazreen’s appointment and ambassadorship. Nazreen was a choice candidate given her dedication to furthering the message of empowering local communities, crediting Sherpa and other high-altitude guides from different ethnicities of Nepal, as well as her strong advocacy for environmental conservation. All of these causes are foundational pillars of Smobler’s ethos and pivotal in amplifying the 3VEREST core themes.
Welcome to Base Camp, where your 3VEREST journey begins. Feel the chill in the air, hear the crackle of campfires, and meet the unsung heroes—the Sherpas—who make this expedition possible. Learn Everest’s stories, study its legends, and prepare for the ascent of a lifetime.
The Khumbu Icefall is your first true test. Navigate through a labyrinth of ice towers and crevasses where every ladder crossing counts. Trust your guide, Tashi, and stay alert—this is where even the bravest falter.
Welcome to Camp 2—the edge of the known. Take a breath. Rest. But stay sharp. In these heights, legends sleep and shadows stir. The summit still whispers, but here you’ll learn that the mountain watches too.
This is The Wall, a multiplayer challenge where oxygen thins, and every step could be your last. Work as a team. Trust your instincts. And don’t look down—because one wrong move sends you sliding into history.
This is The Edge. Your final challenge. One last push through thin air, steep climbs, and sheer willpower. Few reach this point. Fewer return. But if you make it—you’ll stand where the world ends… and the sky begins.
As someone who has considered Everest region a homebase for two decades, I am proud to see the cultural accuracy, representation of local values and traditions incorporated in the game, and awed at how educational the game is and so much fun at the same time!
