Yuga Labs Find Dookey Dash Cheaters in the Sewers

The team behind Yuga Labs' Dookey Dash game notices cheaters trying to boost scores for the top leaderboard ranking and prize. To boost scores, some players have been using "boosting services" that charge high fees of up to 2.5 ETH ($3,880 USD) for a score of more than 700,000.

On the other hand, this hacker, ClearHat, claims Dookey Dash was widely botted:

Here's What We Know:

• Dookey Dash began on January 18 and ended on February 8.

• To partake, gamers must have a Sewer Pass, only eligible to BAYC and MAYC holders.

• Sewer Pass holders endlessly played the runner game, with scores rising high when skipping the many articles, and vice-versa.

• When the Yuga Labs team counted players' scores, they noticed many cheaters. Thus, those that paid for "boosting services" was wasted money.

• Not forgetting, the "pro-gamer claiming to win Dookey Dash" did, in fact, win the game. Congrats, @Mongraal.
