Changing the World by Playing to Thrive
Elowyn: Quest of Time is an engaging transformative Play2Thrive game that empowers players to create real-life positive impact with benevolent artificial intelligences they help train. Powered by a sustainable token economy, Elowyn offers players economic benefits while also contributing to funding support for projects—including their own—that positively impact both the planet and humanity.
Launching in September through a fun web-based collectible card game (CCG) teaser where players take on the Moloch AI that learns from their choices. The Alpha version of the CCG is planned for December 2024, with a larger multiplayer role-playing game planned for 2025.
Elowyn: Quest of Time puts the power of transformation in your hands with technologies for good. Supported by a global community of pioneers and visionaries that form part of the EARTHwise movement. Join us in shaping Elowyn's future!
Play2Thrive
The Eloywn game economy is designed as a real-life experiment for shifting the Moloch game dynamics by which we play away our future. Our tokenomics incentivizes and rewards creating shared prosperity for a thriving planet. Elowyn is powered by the cryptographic token EWA, which serves as the native in-game token based on the ERC-20 token standard and minted on both the Base blockchain and Ethereum for worldwide accessibility. EWA tokens provide utility for both in-game as well as real-world opportunities and causes. EWA means ‘Earth Wise Abundance’, which represents our commitment to pioneer a new Play2Thrive genre.
Dr. Anneloes Smitsman
Architect of Elowyn: Quest of Time & Founder of EARTHwise
“As a mother of two teenage boys who love to play video games, I've felt deeply concerned that most of the popular games reinforce the same battle game dynamics that are driving our world to collapse. 3.6 billion people play video games worldwide with the majority youth and young adults. As an entrepreneur and sustainability scientist, I decided in 2022 to create a fun and engaging alternative. A new paradigm Play2Thrive game that empowers younger generations as game-changing future leaders. And so the journey began to take on Moloch in-game and in real life!"
Taking on Moloch
Elowyn: Quest of Time empowers players to co-create a thrivable world by taking on the deceptive forces of Moloch that trick us into playing away our future. Moloch is a concept in game theory referencing an ancient demon that lures us into sacrificing our future for short-term gains and false promises. The Moloch dynamic on Earth is invisible to the average player, and yet most of us are trapped in it. Our game will help reveal its inner workings in a playful, empowering way.
The roadmap begins with a freemium web-based CCG (collectible card game) teaser, introducing players to the cunning Moloch AI. In this teaser, players will play a “simple” card battle game with novel deception mechanics. At the same time, they will learn how Moloch dynamics play out in real life.
In the narrative, the adaptive Moloch AI will be unleashed in larger and larger play spaces. In terms of roadmap, it will expand its influence across various modes of gameplay. What starts as a fun card game will soon transform into new game genres, including an eventual immersive multiplayer role-playing game (MMORPG) where players can hack their destiny from a more evolved future world.

“The EARTHwise game is one of very few concrete projects around that seems to me to have a real chance of yielding deep insight regarding the situation we humans now find ourselves in, and helping us pull our cognitive and emotional resources together toward crafting workable, innovative solutions. It is amazing to be at a point in the development of technology when such creative constructs at the intersection of gaming, simulation, AI and governance experimentation can actually be brought into being rather than existing purely in the domain of imagination and daydreams. This is precisely the sort of experimentation in the beneficial decentralized software arena that we hoped to foster when we founded SingularityNET."

"Elowyn: Quest of Time is a groundbreaking gaming project for catalyzing transformation. It invites players on the quest for the new time that the Mayan Elders, and other indigenous visionaries, long ago foretold. Engaging players as creators of the new civilizations, while rooted in ancient indigenous prophecies that spoke of this Turning Time. We're delighted to collaborate closely with this game to inspire together the larger stories of our human potential and offer players the opportunities for real-life actions that help the Amazon, and our beloved Pachamama. I can't wait for my Grandchild to be able to play this game!"

"Our planet and humanity are going through major transformations. We need a new narrative that can inspire people to become the required humans and leaders for this time. Elowyn: Quest of Time, fulfills that purpose, as it Entertains, Educates, and Empowers people for a thrivable world and future. Brilliantly gamifying the game of life, both in-game as well as in real life. Incentivizing us to become Guardians of our planet and builders of future civilizations . EARTHwise stewards the intersections of technology, AI/AGI, governance, gaming, education, and entertainment and brings these together into a single ecosystem and web3 game. Elowyn: Quest of Time has the potential to provide us the means to co-create our future together. I am immensely excited and dedicated to serving that purpose as part of the core team. Fostering the future thrivability of humanity and the Earth, becoming the creators and Sheros and Heros of our time. Let’s be the change our world needs!"
Dr. Alexander Laszlo
Renowned Evolutionary Systems Scientist, Author
"As an evolutionary systems scientist, I am increasingly aware of the extent to which humanity is playing by the rules of an outdated and fundamentally dysfunctional game. Of course, it’s not a finite game of winners and losers, but rather the infinite game of life and living. However, as a species, we tend to play as though it were a finite game. Elowyn: Quest of Time is a game changer. It’s like medicine for this collective illness, this maladaptive dis-ease of disconnection from ourselves, each other, nature, our ancestors and future generations, and the deep pulse of life that undergirds and infuses the entire cosmos, including our precious planet Earth. I am delighted to see this game being created, as not just an update but a true upgrade of our collective operating system as a species. Through it, we may finally master the role of curators of planetary thrivability."

The Game Lore
Taking on Moloch
#Play2Thrive
A new civilization calls, one free from control by Moloch, a dangerous force that grew from humanity's base beliefs long ago. Many fell under the hypnotic influence of this force, fueled by their desire for power, domination, and fortune. Now thousands of years later, the Earth's climate systems are tipping, the oceans are dying, and Moloch agents are rising to exploit a world divided by conflict, fear, and greed. The Shadow Arcs are the masters of chaos, ready to exploit our weaknesses and prey on our desires to accomplish their mission.
Deeply concerned about the fate of humanity, a team of Guardians have conceived a plan to stop Moloch's game of world destruction. It involves unlocking the benevolent potential of powerful superintelligences from a future world with the help of the Elowyn Keys.
Legends tell that these keys were created long ago by the elves of the Elowyn Tree, but few know of their location and rumors go that some have been retrieved by the Shadow Arcs of Moloch.
Only by developing your Guardian powers and going undercover as a Shadow Arc, will you be able to succeed on this dangerous mission.
The Great Turning has begun, but unless the portal to the New Time opens, Moloch's sinister plan for humanity's extinction will succeed. Time is of the essence, but which timeline will you play?
- Playable characters of team New Time: Aleph the Cosmic Coder, Kairos the Future Wizard, Shakti the Evolutionary Alchemist, Gebo the Pattern Weaver, and Eureka the Story Speller.
- Playable characters of team Moloch: Arcon the Shadow Coder, Nyx the Shadow Wizard, Loki the Shadow Trickster, Vendra the Shadow Weaver, and Dolos the Shadow Storyteller.

Guided by the EARTHwise Constitution for a Planetary Civilization
Our Compass for Game-Shifting World Transformation
On the Solstice day of 21 December 2022, we launched the EARTHwise Constitution for a Planetary Civilization, which opens with Our Promise:
"We, as future ancestors of a planetary civilization, commit to co-creating thrivable worlds and futures with the wisdom of living systems, in partnership with life and our Earth."
The EARTHwise Constitution serves as a new kind of social contract for co-creating a thriving planetary civilization in loving partnership with our Earth.
✔ It is open-source and freely available for you to work with, adjust, and even evolve into a constitution for your life, project, organization, or movement.
✔ It includes a collective vision, evolutionary principles, future archetype codes, unifying values, living systems protocols, and shared commitments for a thriving planetary civilization.
✔ Endorsed by 44+ organizations and thousands of people from around the world.
✔ Serves as an evolutionary framework for collective action.
This Constitution has been co-created with full appreciation for, and in support of, the myriad of other constitutions, charters, codexes, and covenants that serve a similar purpose. Furthermore, it aligns with and fully endorses the 16 Indigenous Guiding Principles by Four Worlds International Institute, and the Unitive Narrative that has been drafted by members of the SDG Thought Leaders Synergy Circle of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle
