Looking for a fun and engaging way to spend quality time with family and friends? HODL UP is the perfect game for everyone—whether you're a Bitcoin enthusiast or just learning about it for the first time! This dynamic tabletop game combines strategy, chance, and real Bitcoin principles, taking you on an exciting journey through the Bitcoin timechain. From the Genesis block in 2009 all the way to 2140, you’ll experience the thrill of halving events, secure savings in your cold storage, defend attacks on your hot wallet, and build up your hash power.

The best part? HODL UP is designed for all ages and skill levels, so whether you're new to blockchain or an experienced hodler, you'll have a blast. It's a game of learning, laughter, and a little bit of luck, where the person who "hodles" the most Bitcoin wins. Who will be the ultimate hodler in your family? Only time will tell!

Gather your loved ones for a game night filled with competition, learning, and endless fun. HODL UP isn't just a game—it's an adventure in Bitcoin, where everyone has a shot at winning! Happy Hodling!

  • EXPERIENCE GAME NIGHTS AS THEY SHOULD BE Energize family and friend gatherings with this simple to learn, difficult to master game. So grab your favorite snacks, sit down and just play. Laughter, friendly competition, and excitement take center stage.  In 45 minutes, you will travel 131 years on the time-chain!
  • QUICK TO LEARN (15 MIN), ENDLESS STRATEGY (AVG 45 MIN TO PLAY) Learn the game in just 15 minutes, but enjoy the subtle changes in incentives as you progress from one epoch to the next. Each block presents new challenges and decisions, offering fresh experiences throughout the game. 
  • EVERY BLOCK LINKED TO PRIOR BLOCK. The premise is deceptively simple. Add transactions to blocks. Mine blocks to the time-chain. Earn block rewards. Tick tock, next block. Along the way, you build an immutable ledger of how the game was won!
  • ENDLESS REPLAYABILITY The dynamic, fast-paced gameplay ensures multiple opportunities to fight for and against other players. No two games are alike, making it a go-to choice for fun, unpredictable entertainment that never grows stale.  Apply elements of game theory, e.g., opportunity costs of investing in assets, negotiating with fellow players to influence their decisions, or tradeoffs of pursuing aggressive versus defensive postures.
  • STAY HUMBLE & STACK SATS. It’s not just about winning — It’s about skillfully navigating on-chain-inspired challenges. Adding bitcoin, or "stacking sats", is only half of the story. Beware! You also have to protect your bitcoin from other players who will be only too happy to take yours.
  • THE BEST, MOST VISUAL WAY TO UNDERSTAND BITCOIN LAYER 1 Beyond being lighthearted and fun, HODL UP is STEM.org certified, so you'll be honing your math and problem-solving skills while you play. It's a 45-minute game, perfect for busy schedules or even as a quick and engaging classroom activity.
  • PERFECT FOR STRATEGY GAMERS  Whether you love strategy or have a passion for Bitcoin, this game strikes the perfect balance between entertainment and education. It’s suitable for both tech-savvy players and casual gamers alike, young players and age-challenged, the timid and the bold.

"HODL UP is a fun game. Almost as easy as playing Uno. Cool thing is that... it is all based on crypto-currency. Playing enabled my children and me to learn as we mined coins! Its accessible gameplay makes it both a family-friendly game and an educational experience. Highly recommend!"

"The best Bitcoin game I've played! It's a fun game on its own, but the Bitcoin parallels make it an excellent teaching tool too!"

"I was so excited to learn that Scott and his family created a Bitcoin-themed board game. I played it once and I was hooked: I had to buy a copy of my own (using the Lightning network, of course). This game brings into focus many of the key concepts and features of the Bitcoin network and prompts important questions and discussions with folks who have not yet been orange-pilled. Meanwhile, we are all playing a well-balanced and fun board game!"
