Games That Feature the Dogecoin Meme Pup

Dogecoin surged back into the spotlight recently, hitting a three-year high price in December amid a broader crypto market spike, not to mention continued promotion from Elon Musk, who until recently drove a government agency called the Department of Government Efficiency—yes, the DOGE.

The original meme coin is all about vibes, and if you’re looking to bring more of that goofy fun into your life, then you can find Dogecoin and the meme dog’s likeness in several games.

From a Fortnite-like battle royale shooter to a strategic trading card game and even a crypto mining game that pays out real Bitcoin rewards, here are nine games to play that celebrate all things DOGE.

And there will be plenty more ahead, apparently, with the impending launch of the DogeOS layer-2 network and plans from crypto gaming startup PlaysOut to release up to 15 hypercasual Doge-themed games by the end of 2025.

Stay tuned there, but for now, these games are available now.

OpenSeason

Fortnite-like battle royale shooter OpenSeason added a custom Doge-themed biome in April 2024. In a blog post, the game’s developers said that it is a “realm where every nook and cranny barks the tale of Kabosu, the Doge, our beloved Shiba Inu.”

The Ethereum-based shooter built the digital environment in collaboration with NFT project Own the Doge, the crypto project that owns the official Doge IP. OpenSeason is available via the Epic Games Store.

Raini: The Lords of Light

Hearthstone-style trading card game Raini: The Lords of Light is filled with crypto-themed cards. The game is dominated by crypto references, including a card of disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, as well as pseudonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto.

So of course, it makes sense that there’s a Dogecoin reference in-game. The game teased an “Unleash the Doges” card with Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2022, and then eventually launched a “Chad Doge” card as an Avalanche NFT.

Super Doginals

Retro-style brawler Super Doginals is both Doge-themed and also inscribed on the Dogecoin blockchain via the Doginals protocol—that was a lot of Doge in one sentence, much wow.

Akin to classic fighting games like Streets of Rage and Fatal Fury, you control one of three characters—two of which are anthropomorphic Shiba Inu dogs—in this side-scrolling brawler as you pummel foes based on other meme-friendly creatures like apes, cats, and frogs.

Bitcoin Miner

Bitcoin Miner is a real game that lets you mine fake cryptocurrencies, but receive real Bitcoin rewards for doing so. And don’t let the name fool you: This iOS and Android game really includes Dogecoin as one of the in-game coins, along with Shiba Inu (SHIB) and other prominent assets.

You can’t earn real DOGE for playing, but racking up in-game coins via faux DOGE mining will let you earn real Bitcoin that you can cash out to a ZBD wallet and then spend and transfer out as you please. Keep your expectations realistic, as the game pays out maybe pennies’ worth of BTC per hour of play—but hey, it’s something. And it’s a fun idle gaming diversion, too.

Decentraland

Ethereum-based metaverse game Decentraland embraced AI to enable players to chat with non-playable characters, or NPCs. The added characters included Simone the Robot, 23-year-old streamer Aisa, and a buffed up Doge—who is claimed to be a lighthearted character, despite his imposing stature.

The game is free to play, though the Decentraland world is split up into 90,000 units of NFTs, known as LAND—so if you want to publicly build, you’ll have to splash the cash. But you don’t have to spend anything to wander around and chat with Doge.

Who’s the Top Dog?

Inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain via the Ordinals protocol, Who’s the Top Dog? is a Pac-Man clone with crypto elements. Pac-Man is replaced by the mascot of the Bitcoin Runes token DOG, while the ghosts are replaced by the pups associated with popular meme coins Shiba Inu, Dogwifhat, Floki, and of course, DOGE.

It’s also playable as a built-in game on the BitBoy One handheld game console, essentially a Bitcoin riff on Nintendo’s Game Boy.

Katana Inu

The NFT-based battle royale game Katana Inu has a sword-wielding, Dogecoin-themed playable character in-game, even using it as the game’s mascot. But it’s not just Doge: The game has tons of characters dedicated to crypto projects like meme coin NPC, an apparent Pepe tribute, and even one dedicated to Solana—yes, the cryptocurrency and network.

PixelTap

Telegram tap-to-earn game PixelTap added “The Giga Chad Doge” last year—yep, you read that right. The story here is that the cute Doge we all know and love was struck by a “bolt of energy” that bulked the doggy up into a hyper-muscular version of himself. 

This character can be used in Pixelverse Telegram game to fight enemies and progress within the game.
