Quests, free credits and creator earnings

Open Quests while signed in. It replaces the Shop and Free Credits pages: your balance, daily credits, daily and weekly quests, one-time rewards, plans, credit packs, and Boosts are in one place. A reward is separate from the cost of an action; creating a game still costs credits. Reward credits never expire.

One Boost gives your game 1 PlayTrade review and 100 impressions, delivered until complete: promotions before and inside other games, a card labeled Sponsored in For You on Home, and the Sponsored first result of a search when your game's title matches it. A Home or search impression counts once at least half of the card has been on screen for a second.

Everyone can claim 50 credits every day. The day resets at 17:00 New York time. Unclaimed days are lost; claimed daily credits stack up to 350. New accounts start from the daily claim. Nothing is claimed for you. Your account menu shows when rewards wait in Quests. When a request needs more credits than you have, the window that opens lists each Quests reward waiting for you, each with its own Claim and a link to Quests, then lets you continue the request. Plus and Pro rewards are claimed in Quests.

Every day, 2 quests are picked for you from the ones you can do.

• Play a new game for at least a minute: 30 credits.
• Continue a game you played before, for at least a minute: 20 credits.
• Create a new game: 50 credits.
• Update a game: 50 credits.
• Publish a game for the first time: 50 credits.
• Do a PlayTrade: 50 credits.
• Follow someone new: 50 credits.
• Review a game (a thumbs up or down on any game that isn't yours): 50 credits.

Weekly quests reset every Friday at 17:00 New York time.

• Play 20 different games: 100 credits.
• Get 20 plays on your games from other players: 100 credits.
• Add a friend (a new mutual follow): 100 credits.
• Share a game with someone new who signs up from your link and plays: 100 credits.
• Help people discover PlayDrop: post publicly about what PlayDrop is or what you can make with it, then paste the link in Quests. We check that the post is public and about PlayDrop; each post counts once, for the week you shared it: 100 credits.

Rewards completed before a reset stay claimable.

Each of these pays once per account.

• Getting started: open an account (50 credits), create a game (100), publish it (100), verify your email (100), enable notifications (50), and use someone's invite code within 7 days of account creation (100).
• Player path: play a game (50 credits), follow a creator (50), and sign in to PlayDrop Games on iOS or Android (100).

Creating an image, a 3D model, a song, an update, or a remix, boosting a game, the creator survey, and sharing a game no longer earn one-time rewards. Rewards you already earned stay claimable or claimed.

Eligible plays are counted across your games:

• 1 play: 100 credits.
• 10 plays: 7 days of Plus.
• 100 plays: 14 days of Plus.
• 1,000 plays: 30 days of Plus.
• 10,000 plays: 30 days of Pro.
• Every further 1,000 plays: 30 days of Plus.
• Every further 10,000 plays: 30 days of Pro.

The count uses daily unique play records, excludes your own plays and test accounts, and does not count every repeated launch as a new qualifying play. Complete 3 valid PlayTrades to unlock another 100 credits, once; start from PlayTrade. An abandoned or invalid session is not a completed trade.

A Plus or Pro reward supplies the stated duration, not a permanent upgrade or a subscription. If you already pay for Plus or Pro, the milestone fills your plan credits instead. A reward plan adds the plan's weekly credits every Friday while it lasts, but not the monthly credits, and it does not release waiting earnings.

If another reward of the same or higher tier is already scheduled, the new reward starts after it. A higher-tier reward preserves remaining lower-tier reward time by shifting or extending it. Check the start and end dates attached to your grant. Review plans to understand the benefits during that period.

Each successful referral adds 1 game slot and 200 MB storage, for up to 10 rewarded referrals. Invites are unlimited. Referrals no longer earn credits each; the weekly share quest replaces that reward. The invitee's eligibility window matters; simply sharing a code is not a completed referral.

Players can tip any of your public or unlisted games. Tips go 100% to you. In-game purchases are shared 50/50, and ads on your games earn credits for each qualifying view.

With a paid Plus or Pro subscription, earnings are paid out every Friday as earned credits. Otherwise they wait in Quests, and subscribing releases everything waiting at once. Waiting purchase and ad earnings expire after 5 weeks; tips never expire.
