Blankos are collectible digital vinyl toys brought to life. Inhabiting their own, ever-changing, offbeat world, they love good vibes and good times. Players can expect to enjoy different gameplay types including racing, shooting, collecting, and brawling.

While not required to play, Blankos Block Party offers players the freedom to sell their digital items within the game’s shop. In other words, the things you earn and buy in Blankos are yours to own within the game! Powered by the Mythical Platform, the marketplace gives the option for players who wish to exercise the freedom of digital ownership to sell or buy items in-game.
