RTFKT x RIMOWA Meta-Artisan Collection
Designed an immersive minting journey that combined storytelling and interactive gameplay. The experience centered on a quest-driven narrative where the community collaborated to “hack” into and revive the Wandersmith—a guardian robot taken over by a malicious virus. Participants gathered clues and completed quests to progress through the story, engaging across multiple platforms, including Twitter, Discord, and the real-time browser environment.
The final phase saw the community successfully reactivating the Wandersmith, granting them access to the Rift Mark II spacecraft, where they could mint exclusive Rimowa luggage or Workerbots. This minting event allowed participants to enter a draw for the purchase of digital collectibles that could later be redeemed for physical products. These digital collectibles also came embedded with 3D files for use across the metaverse and virtual spaces, adding an additional layer of value and utility.

PART ONETHE WANDERSMITH
In the depths of the Draco constellation, within the RTFKT x Rimowa Space Station Workshop, the Wandersmith, a legendary Artisan Mech, practiced his craft. Known far and wide for creating empowering gear for explorers and world-changers, the Wandersmith’s work was unmatched. He had a loyal team of WorkerBots by his side, robots that dutifully assisted him in the creation of his masterful designs.
But one day, something went terribly wrong.
An Urchon probe had found the factory and injected a FUD virus into the WorkerBots. The once loyal assistants became confused, questioning their very programming. As chaos spread, the Wandersmith found himself unable to control the situation. His once brilliant mind clouded by the virus, the Artisan was forced into a stasis mode, and the factory’s operations ground to a halt.
[QUEST]LOCATE THE RIFT
Before his rationality slipped away completely, the Wandersmith sent a final, encrypted plea for help. The message was broadcasted to the nearby Clone X community, allies who had worked with him in the past. His hope rested in their hands now.
The Clone X community didn’t hesitate. They rallied together, solving the complex puzzle needed to decrypt the Wandersmith’s message.
PART TWOTAKEOVER
With the code cracked, they discovered the coordinates to the Rift Mark II spacecraft, where the Artisan lay dormant. The entire facility had come to a halt, paralyzed by the FUD virus.
It seemed like their work was just getting started.
[QUEST]INFILTRATE
Upon arriving, they remotely hacked into the ship’s camera systems, scouring for clues on what had transpired. It was then that they encountered another challenge—an even deeper puzzle. Once solved, it revealed a crucial figure: the AI Worm.
[SOCIAL QUEST]
INFECTED
This AI Worm was the ship’s core system, responsible for maintaining defense operations and aiding the Wandersmith’s needs. But with the FUD virus corrupting the WorkerBots and the factory, even the Worm had been affected. The community realized that if they wanted to save the Wandersmith, they needed the Worm’s help. Yet, this AI wasn’t just another program; it had feelings, and the Clone X community had to tread carefully.
[SOCIAL QUEST]CONVINCE THE WORM
Through a series of back-and-forth interactions, they slowly gained the trust of the AI Worm, gently persuading it to eliminate the FUD virus. The battle was not just technical, but emotional, as the community had to nurture the AI Worm’s cooperation.
PART THREEARTISAN REVIVED
At long last, their persistence paid off. The AI Worm executed the virus and restored functionality to the factory. The WorkerBots rebooted, and with them, the Wandersmith was revived.
Grateful for their efforts, the Wandersmith returned to his workbench and crafted something extraordinary—a special item for the community: the exclusive RTFKT x Rimowa Luggage. And as a final token of thanks, some of the WorkerBots, now back to their original programming, decided to join the explorers on their next adventures, ready to assist them in whatever challenges lay ahead.

DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES
Built by the Artisans, these small autonomous robots are the lifeblood of the Rift Mark Two space station located in the Draconis constellation. The Autonomous Worker Bots patrol and maintain the station, crafting empowering gear for explorers and world-changers across the universe.
With the FUD Virus vanquished by the hard work of the RTFKT community, the WorkerBots can now carry on with their daily assignments.
