Abstract
Bloxxgame is a web-based blockchain simulation game with an intuitive graphical user interface. The game is designed as a teaching tool for classroom or online teaching. Bloxxgame enables step-by-step discovery and a basic understanding of the fundamental principles of a blockchain. Once players understand the key principles of a blockchain, the game becomes more playful. You can play it alone against the bots or with any number of players, with or without bots.
Key concepts like hashing, digital signatures, digital identity, tokens, wallets, transaction fees, Proof of Work, and mining are presented in an interactive format. A special and unique feature is the experience of the consensus algorithm with Proof of Work.
Bloxxgame has a sophisticated teacher cockpit with which all players can be easily managed. With seven game levels and mining and transaction robots, the teacher can set up a wide variety of dynamic learning scenarios.
