Connect your wallet, select the gotchi you want to represent you for the current epoch, then enter the resort and assign the requested activity.

Yes. The protected gameplay actions are tied to the wallet context and active session for the owner selecting and managing the checked-in gotchi.

Signing establishes or refreshes your SIWE-backed session. The normal flow should only ask again when the session is missing, expired, or tied to a different wallet.

No. Exploration with other gotchis should not require a new signature. Protected actions are initial checked-in gotchi selection and assigning an activity to the checked-in gotchi.

The game applies an epoch lock. Once a gotchi is your active competitor for the current epoch, you generally cannot switch to a different one until the next epoch unless the rules explicitly allow it.

If the epoch is too close to ending, the cutoff rule prevents new activity starts. The resort will stay in a waiting state instead of requesting another activity.

Yes. You can explore with other gotchis while a different one remains the active checked-in competitor, as long as you are not trying to replace the checked-in gotchi for that epoch.

By average basedness over the epoch. Completed activities and pet efficiency are used as tie-breakers.

Visibility and prize eligibility are separate. A checked-in gotchi can appear on the leaderboard even with zero or one completed activity, but prize eligibility requires at least 2 completed activities in the epoch.

Archived epochs are rebuilt from historical check-ins and basedness samples, so the closed leaderboard reflects historical participation rather than only whatever live state rows happened to remain later.

It affects how fast basedness decays while your gotchi is idle. Better petting efficiency means slower decay and helps preserve a stronger average basedness.

Because petting efficiency changes the decay rate. Better upkeep keeps your basedness from falling as quickly between activities, which directly improves the average.
