About ApeFest

What is ApeFest?

ApeFest is the annual community gathering of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), organized by Yuga Labs. It is an in-person event for holders of Bored Ape and Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFTs rather than a game, combining live entertainment, parties and merchandise.

The 2026 edition is scheduled for Saturday, October 17, 2026, from 7 p.m. to midnight at Beeple Studios in Charleston, South Carolina, a 50,000-square-foot venue with a 13,000-square-foot immersive space. Organizers have also planned side activities across the weekend, including paintball, poker, a donut pop-up, parties, hangouts and happy hours.

Ticketing was reworked for 2026: each BAYC and MAYC NFT owned entitles its holder to one ticket claim, with a refundable $99 deposit that is returned once the ticket is scanned at the event within 90 days. Guest tickets cost $99 each plus taxes. Ownership checks now run through Glyph instead of tokenproof. An early-access merchandise shop ran on store.bayc.com for a week from August 31 to September 4 and was open to non-holders as well.

Our verdict

ApeFest is listed here as a crypto game, but the record behind this listing is nearly empty. No genre, blockchain, developer or description has been supplied. The only concrete detail is the official link, which points to store.bayc.com. That is a storefront address, not a game client, a download page or a documentation site. It suggests the name may be tied to a brand's shop rather than to a standalone playable product, though the facts available do not confirm this either way.

We can't name any strengths with confidence. The listing gives no information on gameplay, the token or NFT model, or what platform it runs on, so we can't point to anything that clearly works. What doesn't work is the listing itself: anyone looking for a game will find no stated mechanics, no named studio and no supported chain.

This entry is mostly useful to people who already know the name and want the official link. Everyone else should treat it as unverified. Before connecting a wallet or spending money, check whether a playable game actually exists, who builds it and which network it uses. Don't assume the title alone tells you what you would be getting.

This is our own editorial assessment. We do not score games — ratings come from players.
