badge-to-badge game
Every badge carries one of 11 axolotls, fixed by its MAC address with common, rare, and legendary shares of 77, 20, and 3 percent. Badges broadcast unrelayed hellos every 40 to 70 seconds, and hearing the same badge twice at -80 dBm or stronger within 30 seconds unlocks its axolotl on both sides. The collection survives power loss, and all 11 earn the Maestro Ajolotero title.
