Events

DOOMSDAY PARTY | Oct 21 | 11PM UTC

Okay, don’t panic. The world isn’t actually ending, but the new Decentraland Client is about to drop, and that means support for the old clients is getting shut down! So, we’re doing what the #DCLfam always does - partying hard, muahahaha! Get ready for a two-hour countdown leading to the end of the client as we know it, with a simulated shutdown at midnight, a free Doomsday wearable sponsored by MastaWainzz and the legendary StoneyEye, who will kick off the 'end of the world' with his killer guitar riffs!

TP Climbing Wall Games Competition | Through Oct 25 | 1 AM UTC

Head over to the Teleperformance HQ and challenge yourself with our climbing wall mini game. All players on the scoreboard at the end of week will earn some funky footwear for their wardrobe. Up for a challenge? See you there!
