GameFi Catalog tutorial
The number of GameFi-projects is growing every day, but so is FOMO. If so, then you don’t know about our catalog yet, so let me tell you how to make the most of it!
The main purpose of the catalog is to help users choose GameFi projects to their liking and find relevant information about those projects. Our catalog already has over 400 projects and is updated daily by the Game Inn team.
Interface
On the main page you will see the latest GameFi project cards. At the top of the page you can choose the genre you like best. If you already have a game in mind that you would like to learn more about, the search box will help you.
On the right sidebar you can select different filters. Let’s take a closer look at each filter:
1. Project Stage. It can be:
- Active — you can already start playing and earning.
- Closed beta — you can also play, but after certain conditions are met. Most likely, you will not be able to withdraw earned tokens yet.
- Testnet — the project has not yet officially launched, but a limited number of users can already start playing. There are usually a number of conditions that must be met in order to qualify for testing.
- Presale — the game hasn’t launched yet, but the developers have already started selling NFTs that will be used in the game. At the presale stage there are usually the nicest prices. Although in some cases this may not be true, so you should not neglect to do your own analysis.
- Development (Dev) — the game is in the early stages of development.
- Closed — the project no longer functions.
2. Then there are all kinds of genres.
3. The statuses below reflect the team’s attitude to the project, and there are five in total:
- We’re playing — the Game Inn team, or someone from it, is playing this project. Our team will be happy to give advice on a project with this status and answer any questions you may have.
- Questionable — this project should be treated with caution.
- Waiting for release — our team monitors the development of the project, waiting for its release.
- Monitoring — the Game Inn team is monitoring the project, and we may already have an article about it on our channel. Unlike “Waiting for release”, these projects are already playable.
- Interesting — a project that interested the Game Inn team. Features something unique and exciting that makes us want to try it.
4. Game Modes. Here you can choose your favorite mechanics. For example, if you are interested in NFT lands, you should select “Lands & Land Management”. If it’s important to you that the game has a gripping story, choose “Story Mode” and so on.
5. Platform. Here you can choose games, for example, only for Windows or browser.
6. The next filter sorts projects by investments. If you are not ready to invest, choose projects that do not require investments.

What information can be learned from the project card?
The first thing that catches your eye are the screenshots and trailer of the project. Next, point by point:
- The status of the game and its rating, which is based on Game Inn analysts’ scores. It ranges from 0 to 100. The evaluation of the project is based on several points, some of them: engagement, graphics, gameplay, etc.
- The rating, which is based on player reviews. It ranges from 1 to 5 stars.
- Project Stage.
- Platforms.
- Game Model.
- By clicking “share”, you can send the card to your friend.
At the bottom of the page on the left side you can see when the card was last updated.
The upper part of the page shows the card sections.
- “About the game” — all the information from the screenshot above, as well as a brief description of the project, its genre and links to the official website, the marketplace, social networks.
- “Description of the game” — game modes and what steps to take to start playing.
- Next, you can check out the reviews of the different Influencers. They may be in different languages, so pay attention to the flag.
- User reviews. Under each project you can leave a review and rate, but first you need to log in. By leaving reviews in the catalog, you create a reputation not only for the project, but also for yourself as an independent expert. We’ll continue to monitor the best reviews, and who knows, maybe you’ll be the one we’ll invite to join the Game Inn team!
Congratulations, you now know how to use the catalog. Good luck in your search for worthy projects, and if you need help, you can always contact us. We also have a weekly column — Top 5 New Projects, and maybe it will help you find the project you’ve been waiting for! But before you play, you should read the project review. Just in case.
