Floodplains XYZ is a virtual world based art project, supported by despace Berlin and Arts Help.

An immersive 3D storytelling experience, Floodplains XYZ incorporates collectible NFTs on low energy impact blockchain Tezos to highlight the impact climate change has on weather and habitability and to raise funds for climate action.

Floodplains focuses on the climate's changing weather conditions by placing the participant inside a 3D environment simulating a home, raised above ground, with heavy rains and flood water rising, highlighting the stress, anxiety and devastation that rising water can have on those impacted by flooding.

Participants have three minutes to search the house with the goal to discover collectible memento items (NFTs) and choose five to take with them and get to a boat before the water gets too high. There are ten memento items to choose from and depending on the NFTs collected, participants will continue to receive updates on the story through their Tezos wallet and future drops. There are also hidden Easter egg collectibles in the experience which will unlock limited edition items and special access.

Participants can experience the interactive project through either a web based browser connected to a Tezos wallet on desktop, or as a VR experience on a compatible headset. Entry requires the purchase of a Floodplains XYZ token.
