Paid to Play ยท Open Arcade

We pay you to play video games.

Four games in this arcade carry real peso bounties. Play them like a tester, find what breaks, beat the high score, or build something new for them, and get paid for it in our Discord.

Real money, paid through Tippy in Discord. E2 has given out over โ‚ฑ150,800 to community members so far, and good game help is one of the ways it moves.

The four Paid to Play games

Every bounty below applies to all four games, so one game carries 300p of bounties at any time. Each game also has a best way in, the fastest route from playing it to getting paid for it.

E2 Rush cover art๐Ÿช™ Paid to Play

E2 Rush

Endless Runner

by Harsh

Pick Sally, dodge trains, collect coins, and see how far you can run. Simple to start, brutal to master.

Chase the crown. An endless runner lives and dies by its best run. Post your best distance and coin haul, then hold it until the Friday check in to take this game's 50p high score bounty.
Play ▶Best bet: 50p high score

J'aime Voler

FPV Flying ยท 3D

by Dave

Fly the whole island gate to gate in FPV: 13 glowing gates past the Tugboat, the Beach Stage, Crystal Lake and the mountain pass, with a ghost racer chasing your best lap.

Hunt the rough edges. Bugs hide in the sky. Clip through a gate, break the lap timer, find a hole in the island: every real find with a screenshot or video is a 25p bug bounty, and the fastest clean lap chases the 50p crown.
Play ▶Best bet: 25p bug finds
Super E2 cover art๐Ÿช™ Paid to Play

Super E2

Pixel Platformer

by Dave

Dave's pixel platformer. Choose your runner: Dave, Marty, Jen, Sally, Jah Vibez, Dinesh, Chadwick or Mike, then run the E2 world. Built from the start to be remixed.

Remix it, make it yours. Super E2 begs you to put yourself in it. A new runner, a new level, new art or music counts toward the 200p build bounty, and a proper 10 minute test report earns 25p on its own.
Play ▶Best bet: 200p remix and build
E2 World cover art๐Ÿช™ Paid to Play

E2 World

Open World ยท 3D

by E2

Walk a whole island in 3D: the Studio HQ, Crystal Lake, the lighthouse, the beach stage, and the whole E2 cast to meet along the way.

Design a corner of the island. A whole world to test and to grow. Walk every path and report what breaks for 25p, or design a new place, sign, room or corner of the island and build it toward the 200p bounty.
Play ▶Best bet: 200p world building

Four ways to get paid

You do not need to be a pro. You need to play on purpose, show your work, and post it where we can check it.

๐Ÿž

Play it and find the bugs

25p

Play like a tester: try the weird jump, open every menu, push the game where it does not want to go. When something breaks, grab a screenshot or a short video and post it in the test games channel with the game name and what you were doing. One real, proven bug is one bounty.

๐Ÿงช

Test it properly

25p

Give a game a real session: at least 10 minutes, start to finish if you can. Then post an honest test report: what works, what breaks, and what confused you. Makers read every word of these, and a good one is worth as much as a bug.

๐Ÿ†

Beat the high score

50p

Every game has a weekly crown. Post proof of your best score, a screenshot with your name and score, and if yours is still the best at the Friday check in, the bounty is yours. New week, new crown, all four games back up for grabs.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Design worlds, build games

200p

The big one. Make art, a map, a level, music or code for one of these games, remix one into your own version, or go all the way and design your own world and build your own game. Never made a game before? Your First Game walks you through it, and the Game Builder shows how our makers do it.

How you actually get paid

1

Play on purpose

Pick one of the four games and play it like it matters: test it, chase the score, or start building.

2

Post your proof

Drop your screenshot, video, report or build in the test games channel in our Discord. No post, no bounty.

3

We check it

Our core team double checks every entry. It needs to be real work and rate at least 6 out of 10 to earn.

4

Dave approves, Tippy pays

Dave approves every payout, then the pesos land in Discord through Tippy. Approved work is paid work.

๐Ÿช™ Just playing pays a little too. Every game you play while logged in earns +5 Points on the E2 Scoreboard, and every one of the 170+ games in the arcade earns them, not just these four. Points are silver and just for the board. The peso bounties above are gold: those are for real help, real scores and real building.

Quick questions

Is this real money?

Yes. The bounties on this page pay in Philippine pesos, sent through Tippy in our Discord once your work is checked and approved. Points are different: they are silver, they climb the scoreboard, and they are not money.

Can I earn more than once?

Yes, and the best players do. Every new real bug is a new bounty, every proper test report counts, the high score crown resets every week, and every accepted piece of building earns. Just do not post the same bug or the same report twice.

What about the other games in the arcade?

They all earn Points, and new bounties land all the time. The full board, including bounties beyond these four games, lives at e2.life/bounties, run day to day from Mike's Desk.

I have never built a game. Where do I start?

Start with a test report (25p and genuinely useful), then try a remix of Super E2: it was built for exactly that. When you are ready to make your own, take Your First Game at Starvard, then upload your game to the arcade when it is ready.

Pick a game. Play it like you mean it.

Four games, 300p of bounties on each, and a community that actually pays for good help. Your first 25p is one bug away.
