Gala Games, a blockchain-based gaming platform, is one of the OCIOs from last week’s partnership with the White House, garnering national attention. This development is a massive milestone for Gala Games as they collaborate with the White House. This partnership is focused on a Web3 game Easter Egg Hunt leading up to the 2025 White House Easter Egg Roll. This development, together with other strategic alliances of this nature, is creating a palpable buzz in the GameFi industry. Consequently, Gala Games’ native GALA token has more than doubled in price. This partnership is another example of mainstream adoption of blockchain technology. It portends a bigger change—the mainstreaming of Web3 gaming experiences.
White House Collaboration
Gala Games, created in 2019 by Zynga co-founder Eric Schiermeyer, has been making waves partnering with film and music industries. The collaboration with the White House to create a Web3 game for the 2025 Easter Egg Roll demonstrates the company's commitment to mainstream integration. This joint initiative aims to make blockchain gaming more accessible to a wider audience. It provides participants an immersive, interactive digital experience.
Gala Games intends to become an entertainment powerhouse themselves, securing partnerships with major players such as DreamWorks Animation and NBCUniversal in the past. They’ve commissioned work from the likes of Snoop Dogg as well. Gala Games is committed to developing a rich, varied, and far-reaching ecosystem. Their potential partnerships demonstrate their determination to cater to both conventional gamers and blockchain pros.
"We have a team dedicated to government outreach." - Eric Schiermeyer
Gala Games has ambitions that go beyond just the gaming sector. Its Gala Film division is already making moves within the entertainment industry to share the same vision. A recent partnership with LG Electronics aims to bring Web3 entertainment to televisions, further expanding the accessibility and reach of blockchain-based content.
Expanding Web3 Entertainment
Mitja Goroshevsky, co-founder of Gosh, emphasized how meaningful the partnership with the White House was. This partnership will increase exposure for Gala Games and bring greater prominence to the overall GameFi industry. The company is working hand in hand with US government agency to improve state and local transparency efforts. This further demonstrates their commitment to regulatory compliance and responsible innovation in the blockchain industry.
Even more happy talk from the recent announcement of Gala Games’ partnerships has made for real money market gains for its native GALA token. Since the announcement of the White House collaboration, the GALA token has jumped by nearly 18%. The resulting price jump is an indication that investors are feeling increasingly positive about Gala Games’ long-term vision. They’re betting on its ability to bring blockchain gaming into the mainstream.
