# Overview In Exploration Missions, players embark on a journey across Mars together, spending tokens to fuel the journey, uncovering valuable discoveries, and getting a chance to earn rewards along the way. {% embed url="" %} *** ### How to Play 1. **Contribute to Keep the Mission Alive** * Make a token contribution to refuel the mission and continue the exploration before the timer hits `0`. * `90%` of the contribution gets split into 2 reward pools: * `70%` to the Discoveries Pool. * `30%` to the Last Refueler pool. * `10%` of the contribution gets sent to the `Outpost Surge` Treasury. 2. **Choose the Next Dig Site & Earn Discovery Points** * Each contribution lets you select an exploration site within a specific location for a chance to uncover discoveries. * If you find a discovery, you earn points. Points give you a share of the `Discoveries Pool.` 3. **The Exploration gets Faster and more Expensive** * Over time, equipment wears down, making each contribution `3%` more expensive. * Refueling times get shorter by `30 seconds` each contribution until the refuel time reaches `5 minutes.` 4. **The Exploration gets Faster and more Expensive** * The mission ends when the timer hits 0. * The last player to refuel wins `100%` of the `Last Refueler` rewards pool. * The `Discovery` pool is split among contributors with discoveries, based on their point totals. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
