The Meme Games ICO combined the 2024 Paris Olympics narrative with an unusually well-executed gamified presale mechanic, letting buyers select from five popular meme mascots, Dogecoin, Pepe, DogWifHat, Brett and Turbo, to compete in a randomized 169-metre race for a 25% token bonus. Positioning itself as crypto's "official" Olympic memecoin, the project drew attention from established crypto YouTube channels and completed audits from two separate security firms. This review documents the presale mechanics, the completed verification steps, and the token's performance since its September 2024 listing.
The presale opened around late July 2024 at approximately $0.009 per MGMES, structured across 10 pricing stages, and closed 8 September 2024 with the token debuting on DEX 10 September 2024. Total supply is fixed at 2.024 billion tokens: 35.3% (some sources cite 38%) to presale, and 12% reserved specifically for rewarding game-event winners. The presale raised over $230,000 within its first week and continued climbing as Olympics-related attention grew.
Every MGMES purchase entered buyers into a randomized event: selecting one of five meme mascots to "compete" in a blockchain-verified 169-metre dash, with a 20% chance of winning and a 25% token bonus if the chosen mascot prevailed. Buyers could enter as many times as desired by purchasing additional tokens, with no minimum purchase requirement, and staking was available immediately with reported APY figures ranging from roughly 901% to 1000% early in the presale, declining as more tokens were staked. Over 10.5 million MGMES tokens were reportedly staked within just days of the mechanic launching.
The Meme Games completed security audits from two separate, established firms: Coinsult and SolidProof. This dual-audit approach is a stronger verification posture than the single-audit or unaudited presales common elsewhere in this catalogue, and both reports were independently referenced in contemporaneous third-party coverage without noting major issues identified.
The Meme Games delivered a genuinely differentiated presale experience, and its Olympics-timed launch, dual audits, and gamified bonus mechanic reflect more thoughtful execution than many purely speculative meme-coin presales. The project drew endorsement from established crypto YouTube channel 99Bitcoins, which suggested MGMES could see substantial gains. Since its September 2024 DEX listing, however, MGMES has followed the familiar steep decline pattern common throughout this catalogue, and the token remains unlisted on both CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko as of the most recent tracking data reviewed.
MGMES trades today around $0.0002 to $0.0003, according to CoinCodex, a decline exceeding 97% from its roughly $0.009-$0.0091 presale closing range. The token trades on Ethereum-based decentralized exchanges with the contract address 0x92F8a244ae2Fc152b7d2AD1d18dEA7cA56d9816c, though daily trading volume has fallen to just tens of dollars, and MGMES remains notably absent from both CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko listings.
Whether The Meme Games pursued any confirmed CoinMarketCap or CoinGecko listing application following its DEX debut was not confirmed during this review. For a comparison against another gamified, event-themed meme presale, see the Angry Pepe Fork ICO, or browse the BitDoge presale review for other meme-coin presales.
Consider the following: the token has declined more than 97% from its presale pricing, and remains absent from both CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko despite launching on DEX over a year ago; current trading volume has fallen to just tens of dollars daily, indicating thin liquidity for any meaningful transaction; and the project's Olympics-themed narrative hook was inherently time-limited to the 2024 Games period, a factor worth weighing against any long-term relevance assumptions. Verify the exact contract address before trading, and check current game-mechanic and staking activity directly rather than assuming continued engagement from the presale period. Both completed audit reports were referenced in coverage by InsideBitcoins.

Gamified presale: a token sale incorporating game-like mechanics, such as randomized bonuses or competitions, to increase buyer engagement beyond a simple purchase. Dual audit: when a project completes independent security reviews from two separate auditing firms, offering a stronger verification signal than a single audit. Narrative hook: a timely cultural or event-based theme used to drive short-term attention to a crypto project, which may not sustain long-term relevance once the event passes.
