About The Blight
What is The Blight?
The official site, theblight.xyz, presents The Blight as Blight: Gauntlet of Destiny. It's an eight-week competitive survival event on ApeChain from 369 Studios, set in The Otherside, the Yuga Labs metaverse. The studio's FAQ calls it a 2.5D survival runner built in Unreal on the Otherside Development Kit. The site gives November 9 as the start date, so the event is only days old and has no track record yet.
How to play The Blight
A new stage opens each week, though the studio says holidays may shift the timing. Each stage has four environments. For a Full Victory you collect two rare resources in each environment and reach the end of the run. Your score depends on what you carry out and how fast you finish. Abilities include Invisibility, Hook and Dash. You can join in any week without clearing earlier stages or holding badges.
At sign-up each player pledges to one ApeChain community, and that choice is locked for the whole event. Every valid run adds to the community's score. Individual and community leaderboards run weekly and all-time.
The Blight tokenomics & earning
You sign in with Glyph, ApeChain's embedded wallet, using an email or social account and no seed phrase. Runs earn Fragments (FRAGS), which the FAQ says can't be transferred or traded. In the Store, FRAGS buy basic, epic and legendary boosts, community-wide perks and extra run packs once the daily allowance is used up. FRAGS bundles cost APE, and the studio says purchases are final on-chain transactions with no refunds. Gas is paid in APE. The pages checked list no bundle prices.
Each week, players in the top 50 with a Full Victory win prizes, and first place spins a wheel for a Bored Ape or Mutant Ape. The top five communities win APE floor sweeps ranging from 10,000 APE down to 1,000 APE. The grand jackpot starts at 10,000 APE, grows by 20% of every Fragment bundle sold and is held on-chain by the Store contract. After week eight, one player wins it plus a mystery NFT. Every valid point counts as one entry, a Full Victory isn't required, and no odds are published.
Is The Blight worth playing?
The site doesn't say whether players who never buy FRAGS can compete. The jackpot is a draw weighted by score, and player spending pays for part of it, so treat any APE you spend as money you may not get back. This page is based on the official site and FAQ as of November 2026.

Our verdict
The Blight, which the official site calls Blight: Gauntlet of Destiny, is an eight-week competitive survival event on ApeChain from 369 Studios. The studio's FAQ describes it as a 2.5D survival runner built in Unreal on the Otherside Development Kit. It opened on November 9, so there is no track record yet.
Some of the design is easy to get into. Sign-in goes through Glyph with an email or social account, so you don't need a seed phrase. You can join in any week without clearing earlier stages or holding badges. Pledging to one ApeChain community means each run adds to a group score as well as your own.
The money side has gaps. FRAGS can't be transferred or traded, bundles cost APE, purchases are final with no refunds, and the pages checked list no bundle prices. The site doesn't say whether players who never buy FRAGS can compete. Part of the grand jackpot comes from bundle sales, every point counts as one entry, and no odds are published, so it works like a lottery weighted by score. Your community pledge also can't be changed once the event starts.
This suits ApeChain community members who want a short weekly competition and are fine spending APE they may not get back.

How does a run work in Blight: Gauntlet of Destiny?
Each weekly stage has four environments, and a Full Victory means collecting two rare resources in each environment and reaching the end of the run. Your score depends on what you carry out and how fast you finish, and abilities such as Invisibility, Hook and Dash are available during runs.
What are Fragments (FRAGS) and can I trade them?
No, the FAQ says FRAGS can't be transferred or traded. You earn them from runs or buy bundles with APE, and you spend them in the in-game Store on boosts, community perks and extra run packs. The studio says bundle purchases are final on-chain transactions with no refunds.
What prizes can players win?
Each week, top-50 players with a Full Victory win prizes, first place spins a wheel for a Bored Ape or Mutant Ape, and the top five communities win APE floor sweeps from 10,000 APE down to 1,000 APE.

Is The Blight still active and worth playing?
Yes, the official site gives November 9 as the start of the eight-week event, so it has only just begun and has no track record. The site doesn't say whether players who never buy FRAGS can compete, and part of the jackpot comes from player spending, so treat any APE you spend as money you may not get back.
