# World & Hotspots

#### Worlds in D-Drops

* **Definition**: Worlds in D-Drops represent the greater metropolitan areas of specific cities. These are the primary playgrounds where players can explore and engage in treasure hunts.
* **Types of Treasures**: In these worlds, players primarily find server-based treasures and items. These include a variety of in-game assets that enhance the player's experience.
* **Gameplay Mechanics**: The exploration in Worlds is designed to be extensive, encouraging players to thoroughly explore urban environments for treasures.

#### Hotspots in D-Drops

* **Definition**: Hotspots are specially designated areas within the Worlds, often located in parks, fields, or publicly accessible non-traffic areas.
* **Access Requirements**: Entry into hotspots requires specific items, which players can find during their hunts in the World mode.
* **Real Blockchain Treasures**: Unlike the general Worlds, hotspots are where players can discover real blockchain treasures. These treasures offer tangible rewards like money, coupons, tickets, and other real-world assets.

#### Themed Hotspots

* **Concept**: Each hotspot is based on a unique theme that dictates its gameplay mechanics and the nature of the treasures found within.
* **Example - Radioactive Hotspot**:
  * **Entry Ticket**: Players need a specific entry ticket or item to access the radioactive hotspot.
  * **Limited Time Gameplay**: The radioactive hotspot introduces a gameplay mechanic where players have a limited amount of time to find and claim treasures.
  * **In-Game Item - Pill**: To counteract the in-game radioactivity, players use a special pill, an item that temporarily protects them but wears off after a set period.
  * **Objective**: Within the limited time, players must locate a treasure, successfully break it open, and claim it before the pill's effects dissipate.
