Welcome to Virtual Pigeon Racing

After creating your account, you are ready to start exploring the platform. The first goal is simple: set up your account, get your first pigeons, and prepare for your first race.

The steps below will help you get started quickly and understand how the game works.

Step 1: Connect your wallet

To own pigeons and participate fully in the game, you will need to connect a crypto wallet. Currently we support Venly and MetaMask.

Your wallet is used to:

  • Store your pigeons (which are NFTs)

  • Buy and sell pigeons

  • Participate in races that may require entry fees

Important: Your wallet always remains under your control. Virtual Pigeon Racing never has access to your private keys.

You can learn more in the article Connecting your wallet.

Step 2: Get your first pigeons

To enter races, you need at least one pigeon.

You can acquire pigeons in several ways:

  • Buying pigeons from the marketplace

  • Purchasing pigeons from official releases

  • Acquiring pigeons through breeding

Each pigeon has its own traits, genetics, and racing potential, so choosing the right pigeons can influence your strategy.

Step 3: Explore available races

Once you own pigeons, you can start looking at available races on the world map.

Each race may differ in:

  • Location

  • Distance

  • Weather conditions

  • Entry requirements

These factors influence how well your pigeon might perform.

Step 4: Enter your first race

When you find a race that fits your pigeon’s strengths, you can enter it and watch the race unfold live.

Racing is the core gameplay mechanic of Virtual Pigeon Racing, and over time your pigeons can improve their performance through racing experience.

Step 5: Build your loft over time

Over time, your goal is to build a strong loft of pigeons and develop valuable bloodlines.

As you continue playing, you can:

  • Enter more races

  • Earn rewards

  • Breed new pigeons

  • Buy and sell pigeons on the marketplace
