why does it matter
In December, Yuga Labs rocked the NFT space with the announcement of an upcoming project called The trial of Jimmy the monkey. Set to be a new chapter in the BAYC universe, the information came through a short film that tells a curious but whimsical story of a key, a chest and apes that travel through time.
While the NFT space has been scrambling ever since to piece together the breadcrumbs left behind by Yuga Labs in MDvMM.xyz — a new website erected to track the ongoing expansion — today, new definitive information has been revealed. Although a guide was originally promised, Yuga has announced a skill game challenge that corresponds with the Jimmy the Monkey story arc.
On January 18, Yuga will kick off “Dookey Dash,” a skill-based coining experience that takes place in the sewers of the Bored Ape Yacht Club. To be eligible to participate in the experience, users must have at least one Sewer Pass, an NFT that launches on January 17 as a free claim for any BAYC or MAYC owner. Although members of the BAYC community are the only ones eligible to claim, anyone who obtains a Sewer Pass through a secondary sale can participate in the experience.
Both the Sewer Pass and Dookey Dash claim will close on February 8th. However, while the window is open, participants can play as many times as they want, with Yuga affirming via Tweet that players will need to “play at least once and get more than 0 to validate a Sewer Pass.” Once the skill-based coining experience is complete, on February 15, validated Sewer Passes will be eligible to transform into what Gary the Dog Prophet (a newer character to the BAYC realm) calls a “power source.” “.
Gary will be watching you in the sewer. Sewer Pass holders will compete for the highest score and get their new power source. The highest score from a single run on your specific Sewer Pass and the accompanying wallet that achieved the run will determine what you reveal.

Considering the cryptic nature of these power sources, users will likely need to play the game, which is judged by what a user collects in the sewer, what obstacles they destroy, and how long they survive, to learn more.
