Flashy Fun, the gaming arm of Flashy Finance, has partnered with Pavia.io, a pioneering metaverse platform, to launch gold-backed treasure hunts and viral games across enterprise and brand-built worlds in novel Engage-For-Gold programs. The collaboration integrates Flashy’s “Go For Gold” scavenger hunt model directly into Pavia’s expanding metaverse, embedding “$NUGS”, representing exchangeable RWA digital gold drops, inside player-built realms to reward exploration, creativity, and discovery. All gold rewards within the hunts will be sponsored by AuCan Gold, ensuring that qualified players are competing for up to $2 Million USD in prizes backed by real-world assets.
As part of the partnership, Flashy will also be granted prime virtual land parcels in Pavia to build out a connected ecosystem, including Flashy Finance banks, Flashy Social clubs, Flashy Fun arcades, and other branded experiences. In addition, Flashy Fun will design and deploy viral, community-driven games that live inside Pavia’s virtual worlds, creating a cycle of entertainment, social interaction, and rewards that keeps players engaged.
Players exploring Pavia will encounter treasure hunts embedded across Pavia and select enterprise-built environments. Through interactive storefronts, AI avatar guides, and themed starting points, users will be able to discover hidden gold chests, rare loot boxes, and collectible $NUGS gold RWA, with redemption available via APIs or codes. Prizes will link directly into Flashy Fun’s “Dig It” gold game for extended play and rewards.
The business model ensures value for both platforms: Pavia receives token incentives, referral fees, and a revenue share from verified player activity, while players unlock rare, co-branded valuable assets underpinned by AuCan Gold sponsorship. This partnership positions Pavia and Flashy as leaders in merging metaverse experiences with real-world financial infrastructure.
“Our collaboration with Pavia marks a major step in extending Flashy’s ecosystem into the metaverse,” said Mike Gord, CEO at Flashy Group. “By combining AuCan Gold-backed treasure hunts, viral games, and Flashy’s districts, we’re building a living economy of culture, commerce, and community.”
“Pavia is committed to creating immersive virtual spaces for enterprises, brands, and communities,” said Jason Sibley, CEO at Pavia.io. “Flashy Fun’s ability to build viral games, treasure hunts, and cultural districts will make Pavia worlds destinations for discovery, connection, and play.”
