Party Icons Closed Beta 3 Goes Live in Bee Network Game Center Amid Rising GameFi Interest

The blockchain gaming sector marked a notable development on July 15 with the launch of Party Icons’ Closed Beta 3 (CB3) within the Bee Network Game Center. This release introduces players to an immersive virtual environment featuring neon-lit themes and competitive play-to-earn mechanics. 

The integration, announced via Bee Network’s official X account, aligns with broader trends in decentralized gaming, where platforms combine entertainment with financial incentives through blockchain technology.

Integration with Bee Network Game Center

The launch within Bee Network's Game Center represents a key integration, allowing users of the mobile mining platform to access Party Icons directly. Bee Network, known for its cryptocurrency mining app, introduced its Game Center in March 2025 to support play-to-earn games, enabling users to earn BEE tokens alongside game-specific rewards.

This integration enhances accessibility for Bee Network's user base, which focuses on decentralized finance and gaming. 

What is Party Icons? 

Party Icons is a multi-game metaverse developed by Meta Icons Lab, designed for both mobile and PC users. It positions itself as a "destination theme park for the metaverse generation," blending casual gameplay with strategic elements and real-world rewards. Built on the Ronin Network and backed by venture capital firm Bitkraft Ventures, the game emphasizes player-driven experiences in a vibrant, interactive world.

At its core, Party Icons features a roster of masked heroes known as OGX NFTs, which enable holders to influence gameplay through unique abilities, such as God Mode. This mode enables owners to drop loot or trigger in-game events, adding a layer of community involvement. The game's ecosystem includes mining resources like Mirblite and Mirble, which can be converted into $PARTY tokens, fostering an economy where player actions directly impact earnings.

The development team, comprising over 120 members across offices in Hong Kong, Taipei, New York, and Frankfurt, has focused on cross-platform accessibility. Servers are available in regions including North America, South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe, ensuring low-latency play for a global audience.

Key Gameplay Modes: 

Party Icons offers several modes to cater to different player preferences, from fast-paced action to strategic resource management.

• Party Heist: This is the flagship mode, functioning as a battle royale extraction shooter. Players form squads, loot valuables, engage in PvP battles, and extract their hauls to secure rewards. Success depends on tactics such as map navigation, gear selection, and effective team coordination.
• Carnival Clash: A solo or squad-based mini-game that emphasizes quick reflexes and chaos, allowing players to practice skills or compete for smaller prizes.
• Party Brawl and Other Modes: Additional experiences include brawling sessions and god-like interventions, where OGX NFT holders can alter ongoing games.

Players can evolve heroes, upgrade talents, and participate in guild activities known as Mirships. These guilds offer benefits such as advanced gear packs and access to exclusive leaderboards. Roles such as Masks (sponsors who fund players) and Marauders (sponsored competitors) introduce a sponsorship system, where earnings are split based on performance agreements.

The game incorporates blockchain elements through the use of NFTs and tokens. OGX NFTs grant privileges like priority access and airdrops, while $PARTY tokens serve as the in-game currency for rewards and staking.

Closed Beta 3 Launch Details

Closed Beta 3 officially went live on July 15, 2025, running until August 5, with the main X-League season from July 20 to August 3. During the initial warm-up phase from July 15 to 20, participants can familiarize themselves with the new Hong Kong-themed map, test loadouts, farm resources, and join guilds.

To compete in the X-League, where significant rewards are distributed, players need a pass, which grants 10 daily entries. Free-to-play options remain available, but competitive edges come from sponsorships or guild memberships. However, BEE Network users can join and experience the game firsthand via a free MIRPASS outlined in the X announcement.  

The beta introduces features like real treasure hunts on the main island, Miragio, and events such as the Mantle Party Run for additional rewards. Developers encourage players to squad up, strategize, and climb leaderboards for individual, guild, or referral rankings.

Looking Ahead

With CB3 now underway, players are encouraged to explore the BEE Game center to join the game. Community feedback during this beta will likely shape future updates, including token launches and the expansion of existing modes.

As the GameFi sector evolves, launches like this highlight the intersection of entertainment and blockchain, offering new opportunities for earnings and engagement.
