Solana Breakpoint Week Preview
Solana Breakpoint in Singapore takes place from September 19-21, and Photo Finish™ LIVE and the Third Time Entertainment team are packing our bags and in-route to be boots on the ground.
For months, our team has been planning for Breakpoint to be a week when everything changed, from products to partnerships and everything in between. This week is about being on the offensive, determined to place no doubt in anyone's mind not only which crypto game shines in the Solana ecosystem but anywhere in the world.
Photo Finish™ is the greatest example of what play-to-earn crypto gaming could be. If anyone didn't know before this week, they'll get the memo moving forward.
Here's just a fraction of what our team has planned this week.

Week 4 Track Sponsors: $15,000+ Added to Purse Prizes
The Photo Finish™ tracks have never seen more prizes in a single week than that will be awarded during Week 4 of Season 19.
In addition to the culmination of the season—Championship Week—multiple track owners have leased their tracks to teams that have added “custom stimmies” to races happening 24/7.
It seems like forever that the mantra has been that we'd be cooking with gas once Photo Finish™ added sponsors and high-volume horse picks to the equation. We know this to be true because those two items play a huge role in the success and popularity of real-life horse racing.
Photo Finish™ has delivered over $20,000 in “new” money this season via track sponsors and already has some nice commitments for Season 20.
And on that horse pick part, you've seen us tease some of our plans. More on that later.
Below is a list of what is available on the tracks this week. Remember that every horse competing on these tracks will automatically receive their share of the tokens upon the race's completion.
$BONK Racewway: 9/16-22
Token Amount: 600 Million ($10,000+)
Leasing Owner: La Jolla Fields
Expect to see those adorable Shiba Inu dogs sprinting down the La Jolla Fields track all week.
Who let the dogs out? We did. Sorry — we had to say that at least once.
$COST Raceway: 9/16-22
Token Amount: 720,000 ($3,500+)
Leasing Owner: Shing Mung Racecourse
This is now Photo Finish™ LIVE's third activation with the $COST team — you could say we're a fan.
$COST has once again graced our tracks with some of its beautiful hot dog tokens. Send it to $1.50 with haste.
$EPIK Raceway: 9/16-22
Token Amount: 420,000 ($3,500)
Leasing Owner: Big Brain Fairgrounds
It's a quack attack on the Big Brain Fairground tracks—check that, $EPIK Raceway—as over $3,500 in duck tokens has been added to the prize pools.
Solana Breakpoint: September 20-21
The secret is out! We couldn't wait for you to see some of what we've been working on—what a relief.
Third Time Games is a byproduct of constantly communicating well with the community, which isn't the best at keeping what we're working on a secret. So, you can only imagine how refreshing it is to have you all in the loop regarding almost everything we have planned to go to market during Breakpoint Week.
Whether you plan to be in Singapore in person or want to know what we'll be up to and what to expect, here are the main elements of the Photo Finish™ LIVE trip and what we hope to accomplish while there.
Breakpoint Gaming Village
You've all known for some time that Photo Finish™ LIVE was granted a foothold in the Breakpoint Gaming Village, and now you know why.
You didn't think we were headed to Singapore to host a glorified arts and crafts table, did you? We're showing up with interactive virtual experiences and a race that will have all of Solana watching.
By now, you've seen the preview of the Photo Finish™ Simulcast Station, a 55-inch touchscreen that will allow the over 5,000 attendees to select a winner of the Solana Derby and receive an exclusive NFT.
As part of this experience, the first 100 people who select the correct winning horse will receive a bottle of champagne and the $VIN airdrop connected to the bottle from our race sponsor, dVIN Labs.
‘Lightning Talk' w/Ian Cummings
Third Time Games CEO & Founder is trekking from Orlando, Florida, to Singapore with a distinct set of goals in mind, most notably killing his spotlight speech set to take place on the main stage.
Bossman will give his five-minute “Lightning Talk” on Friday, September 20, on the Left Curve Stage at 11:45 a.m. local time in Singapore. That's Thursday, 11:45 p.m. US Eastern Time for those scoring at home.
Following his address to all of Solana, the team will have multiple in-person meet-ups with current investors, venture capital funds, and some people we'll keep redacted.
We could see anyone and everyone in Singapore this week. From coffee dates to meetings scheduled in the casino at Marina Bay Sands, it's shaping up to be an interesting week.
The Solana Derby
The festivities close out on Saturday, September 21, as Photo Finish™ LIVE hosts the Solana Derby live on the Breakpoint main stage.
Participants include a who's who of Solana stars, co-founders Toly and Raj, and personalities such as Ansem, Mert, Jakey, and more.
This is a moment to showcase Photo Finish™ gameplay and a brand awareness opportunity in front of the largest target audience a Solana gaming project could ever ask for.
Everything has been leading up to Solana Breakpoint. But we promise, it's just a launch pad of what we have planned next.
