The makers of Hamster Kombat on Telegram have rolled out a fresh batch of bonus cards, available from August 25 to 26. A post titled “300 Kryptan” appeared on the game’s Telegram channel to announce the update.
To activate the new combination, players must acquire or upgrade three specific cards: HamsterTube, Legal Opinion, and Electric Car Production. These cards are located in Public Relations & Team, Legal, and Special Sections respectively. Unlocking all three cards does not impose any additional prerequisites on players.
Completing the three-card combination nets players a one-time payout of 5 million in-game HMSTR tokens. The next combo is scheduled to go on sale at 15:00 Moscow time within a 24-hour window.
Beyond the new combination, the Hamster Kombat development team publicly expressed solidarity with Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, who was detained in Paris on the evening of August 25. They published a map bearing the hashtag #freedurov, which has resonated as a symbol of support within the crypto community. The #freedurov card can be unblocked without meeting any conditions, but it offers no bonuses when unlocked.
Hamster Kombat is a viral clicker game on Telegram where players accumulate points by repeatedly tapping a hamster, solving codes, and collecting opened cards. The developers have promised that the accumulated points could be exchanged for cryptocurrency once the project lists on an exchange. However, industry observers caution about the practical distribution of tokens given a large player base, and a blockchain expert notes that big profits from the project should not be assumed.
There are multiple similar experiences in the Telegram crypto game space, including Blum, Catizen, Lost Dogs: The Way, TapSwap, X Empire, and others, which crowdsourced engagement through card systems and token mechanics. Analysts highlight that the dynamics of these ecosystems often hinge on listing timelines, tokenomics, and user participation rather than guaranteed returns.
