Drawing inspiration from the acclaimed 'Nosedive' episode, Smile Club introduces a groundbreaking blend of digital collectibles and immersive storytelling. Fans are invited to mint their characters and embark on quests to achieve the coveted 5-star rating through SMLE points.

This innovative project combines collectibles, digital experiences, and live episodic content. The first pilot episode, developed in partnership with BasedAF, promises to immerse users in a world where their actions may shape future episodes.

A Star-Studded Roll-Out

The journey kicked off with a star-studded spectacle, including luminaries like Transmoderna, Dixon, deadmau5, Richie Hawtin, and more featured in Times Square. The campaign hinted at the role of social scores and the rating system, setting the stage for social challenges, interactive quests, and exclusive rewards.
In a society driven by status, early adopters reap the greatest rewards. Accumulate points to ascend the social ladder, with early minters enjoying the highest status and reaping the benefits of the SMLE reward system.
The first pilot episode, a collaboration with BasedAF, a virtual production channel, went live this week, demonstrating Smile Club's potential to span multiple mediums and captivate a global audience. This innovative approach presents a new vision for digital collectibles, where users can mint characters, participate in quests, and potentially shape future episodes.
