In this episode of Rise Up After Dark, Evan sits down with Dylan Abruscato, cofounding creator of the award-winning, viral hit Crypto the Game—a crypto-native survival game where alliances, betrayals, and onchain mechanics collide. They explore the show's Survivor-style roots, how CTG became a cultural moment in crypto Twitter (again and again), and why building games onchain isn’t just about decentralization—but immersion, community, and fun.

Dylan reflects on the evolution of CTG through its first two seasons, what players taught him about community and mechanics, and what’s coming next in Season 3. This one’s for the builders, the storytellers, and the future contestants. 

(Oh, and the collectors--he totally nerds out with a wild story about how he got his own official Topps card)
