Can you actually earn real money playing Mobile Minigames?
The answer is: yes, you can earn real money playing Mobile Minigames! In fact, there are already a number of players that have successfully made money through the game.
On September 4th 2021, a player successfully sold a season 3 hero NFT for 2.9 ETH - $12K USD at the time of the sale. On September 27th 2021, a player sold a season 2 pet NFT for 1.5 ETH - $4.5K USD at the time of the sale.
Hero sold on OpenSea for $12K USD at the time of sale.
Pet sold on OpenSea for $4.5K USD at the time of sale.
When checking out the Mobile Minigames NFT collections on OpenSea, you can find countless examples of players selling their Mobile Minigames NFTs for money:
Additionally, players are also earning through the cryptocurrency PRPS. Essentially, players are collecting Crypton by playing the game, converting that Crypton into PRPS, and then cashing out.
For many people in the Filipino community, this is already helping put food on their plates. The following screenshots are from the Mobile Minigames Philippine Community Facebook group:

With that being said, there are many more ways to earn money through Mobile Minigames than just selling your NFTs to other players or earning PRPS.
Safe to say, Mobile Minigames is absolutely a play-to-earn game where you can successfully make money if you play smart. This guide will outline all essential information that you need to know to start making real money from Mobile Minigames.
If you have a good understanding of Mobile Minigames and do your best to follow a money-making strategy that is best suited for you, there is a very good chance that you can earn some real money.
There are many ways to make money through Mobile Minigames. Some of these methods require you to first have a Mobile Minigames hero or pet NFT exported through the Blockchain, but there are also methods that allow you to earn without a hero or pet NFT.
Although we will be going over exporting briefly in this guide, you can always refer to the Ultimate Export Guide to learn how to export heroes and pets to the Blockchain in Mobile Minigames.
In Mobile Minigames, you can earn money in one of the following ways:
- By earning the cryptocurrency PRPS through gameplay.
- By earning the cryptocurrency PRPS in return for burning your hero and pet NFTs.
- By earning ETH or DUBI selling your hero and pet NFTs to other players in-game, on OpenSea, or on DubiEx.
- By earning DUBI renting your hero and pet NFTs to other players in the Blockchain building.
In the following sections we will discuss the essential information needed for each of these money-making methods.
By playing Mobile Minigames, you can actually earn the cryptocurrency PRPS. The PRPS token that you earn by playing the game can then be sold on exchanges like Quickswap for other cryptocurrencies like USDC.
Play & Earn in Mobile Minigames through PRPS!
For most players, this will be the best and most reliable method of earning money playing Mobile Minigames.
So, how exactly does it work?
To earn money through PRPS, you need to do the following:
- Collect Crypton through various in-game methods (i.e. Auction House trading, Spellbook passive Crypton, in-app purchases).
- Donate the Crypton to the charity 'Giving Works' in the Best Game building, and receive PRPS in return.
- Cash out the cryptocurrency PRPS for USDC.
Support the charity 'Giving Works' with Crypton, and receive PRPS in return!
It's as simple as that!
Now let's go through each step in detail.
Since you get around $1 worth of PRPS for 1,000 Crypton, you essentially need to collect as much Crypton as possible - the more Crypton you have, the more PRPS you have! Thankfully, there are quite a few different ways to collect Crypton.
Crypton can be collected in all of the following ways:
- By selling streamer skins, hero skins, pets, and loot cards in the Auction House (read the Auction House Trading Guide for more info).
- By earning passive Crypton through the Spellbook (check out the Passive Crypton Guide for more info).
- By getting in-app purchases (through money or sale points) which give Crypton (check out the Pay-to-Play Guide for more info).
- By having other players rent your hero and pet NFTs in the Blockchain building.
Deals such as this one can be purchased using Sale Points, giving you more than 7.5K Crypton for free.
Loot Cards are often some of the most profitable assets to sell for some free Crypton on the Auction House.
Although you can also receive Crypton from donations and a few other methods, these are the primary sources where you'll be getting the most Crypton.
Once you have Crypton, you'll want to turn it into PRPS.
In order to turn your Crypton into PRPS, you first need to have a minimum of 500 Crypton.
500 Crypton will get you roughly 0.05 PRPS in return. This amount varies based on the PRPS price; if PRPS goes up in value, you will receive less PRPS for 500 Crypton.
Of course, if you have 50,000 Crypton, you would be able to trade that in for 5 PRPS. The only real limit is how much Crypton you own!
Let's say you've collected more than 500 Crypton from the Crypton earning methods above - how do you turn that into PRPS?
To turn your Crypton into PRPS, you need to do the following:
- Head to the Best Game building.
- Click on the 'Giving Works' button in the top left of the building.
- Click the 'Gift' button.
- Choose your Crypton amount, and then click the 'Gift' button again.
- You should have received 1 PRPS in the wallet you have connected in the Blockchain building!
Crypton donation menu. 10,000 Crypton = 1 PRPS; 1 PRPS = ~$10.00 USD.
Before going through these steps, it's important to make sure that you've setup your Blockchain wallet first! Since the PRPS will be sent to your in-game Blockchain wallet, you need to make sure you have something setup there first.
Once you've received the PRPS, you're free to sell it on any decentralized cryptocurrency exchange. The most common option for this would be to sell your PRPS for USDC on an exchange like Quickswap.
In order to cash out PRPS, you would first need to connect your in-game wallet to Metamask, and then switch the network to the Polygon chain. Once done, you are free to sell your PRPS for USDC on Quickswap (requires some MATIC to pay for small transaction fees), and then cash out that USDC on a centralized exchange like Binance.
To learn in more detail how to sell your PRPS and cash out, check out the PRPS Cashing Out Guide.
On average, 1 PRPS will be approximately $10.00 USD. This price might fluctuate a lot, but it should always be around this price at a minimum.
This means that every time you convert 10,000 Crypton into 1 PRPS and cash out, you will likely be earning at least $10.00.
This is the most significant, easiest, and most consistent way for the majority of people to earn money playing Mobile Minigames.
To summarize: collect Crypton, trade it for PRPS, and then cash out that PRPS. It's pretty simple!
For more info on PRPS, feel free to check out the official Mobile Minigames PRPS page. Additionally, feel free to also check out the technical details of the PRPS token over on PolygonScan.
Although trading Crypton for PRPS is the easiest method to cash out and earn money playing Mobile Minigames, there are far more lucrative earning methods if you have some patience.
For example... waiting until you've collected enough Crypton for a hero/pet export first!
Mobile Minigames NFTs are extremely unique in that they always have a minimum value. This minimum value can be found on the official Mobile Minigames website where you can burn classic NFTs for the cryptocurrency PRPS!
A classic NFT is simply a Mobile Minigames NFT which was created within the first 12 seasons of the game - seasons 1-12. All of these NFTs can be burned and effectively have a minimum value due to the burning functionality.
This info can all be found on the official Mobile Minigames burn info page.
Essentially, if you want to make money by burning, you would need to do the following:
- Get your hands on a classic Mobile Minigames NFT (during seasons 1-12 you could export a hero or pet to the Blockchain, but now you would need to get a classic Mobile Minigames NFT from another player who owns one).
- Navigate to burn.mobileminigames.com.
- Connect your wallet containing the Mobile Minigames NFT you want to burn.
- Burn the NFT and receive PRPS in return.
- Sell the PRPS for ETH on the decentralized exchange DubiEx.
- Cash out your ETH (see the Cashing Out Guide).
Although you could effectively do this as soon as you have the NFT in your wallet (usually 30 days after export), you should hold onto your NFT and wait for its value to increase first.
Over time, your NFT will likely increase in value. A lot.
Season 1 hero NFTs starting out at a price of $400 USD, and gradually increasing to more than $2.4K USD.
This image was taken of the season 1 hero NFT graph during season 8.
This means that over the span of around 7 months, Mobile Minigames hero NFTs went up from around $400 USD to over $2.4K USD - an increase of more than 600%!
Holding onto your NFTs and waiting for them to go up in value is the best possible thing you can do. As more seasons go by, more people will create NFTs, and more people will burn their NFTs. Both of these things will increase the value of your NFTs over time.
Not only that, but as the price of PRPS increases, your NFTs will be worth even more! Since inception, PRPS has gone up from $0.5 USD to around $10.
I would highly recommend not burning unless you need to cash out your NFTs urgently!
If you do want to burn, the steps to do so are pretty simple:
- Connect to your in-game wallet.
- Select the season containing your NFT.
- Select your NFT.
- Click the Burn button on the NFT slot.
- Burn your NFT!
For example, here is what it would look like to burn a pet NFT:
Furamingo NFT selected on the left, and is ready to burn!
Clicking the "Burn" button gives you a confirmation prompt to burn the NFT, which makes you aware of how much more you could earn if you wait longer!
The prompts are very clear that you could be earning a lot more if you wait for other people to burn and create NFTs before burning yours.
So please - wait for your NFT to go up in value a lot first before you consider burning it!
Before considering burning it, however, you should also consider an alternative: selling it!
Season 5 hero NFT on sale for 5.8 ETH - $22K at the time of the screenshot!
What you can get for burning your NFT is simply the minimum value - the floor price of your NFT.
Since the value of your NFT is going up over time on the burn page, many people will likely be looking to buy your NFT for more than the burn value!
So, how exactly do you sell a Mobile Minigames hero or pet NFT?
One of the main ways to earn money through Mobile Minigames is by selling your hero and pet NFTs to other players.
Within the context of earning money selling heroes/pets, the steps to make money are the following:
- Collect a lot of Crypton through various in-game methods (will be expanded on below).
- Export a hero or pet to the Ethereum blockchain by paying a Crypton fee.
- Sell your hero or pet to other players for ETH on OpenSea, or for DUBI in-game or on DubiEx.
- Cash out the DUBI or ETH (follow the Cashing Out Guide).
The Crypton and exporting aspect will be explained in more detail further on in the guide. Assuming you have successfully exported and now own a hero or pet NFT, you're free to sell said hero or pet in a number of different ways.
The most popular will likely be OpenSea, since it's the most widely used and trafficked NFT website, with thousands of sales happening every day.
Once you have a hero on the Blockchain, it will be visible on OpenSea in one of the two collections:
These are the only two legitimate Mobile Minigames NFT collections on OpenSea - any others are likely scams!
Since OpenSea is so widely used, I won't be going into detail in this guide on how to use and list NFTs for sale on OpenSea.
I will say this, however: OpenSea is by far the most popular location for buying/selling Mobile Minigames hero and pet NFTs. So far, more than 10 Mobile Minigames NFTs have been sold - and the game isn't even that popular yet!
Here are some example sales that took place on OpenSea:
Mobile Minigames Heroes sales on OpenSea, as of 11/10/2021.
Mobile Minigames Pets sales on OpenSea, as of 11/10/2021.
As you can see, Mobile Minigames NFTs can sell for quite a lot, with the average hero price being around 1.95 ETH ($9,150 USD, as of the time of writing), and the average pet price being around 0.82 ETH ($3,830 USD, as of the time of writing).
Needless to say, Mobile Minigames NFTs can sell for A LOT.
A lot of this value comes from the fact that the NFTs are actually usable and functional in-game. For example, if you were to buy a hero NFT from another player, you can immediately start using it to progress faster and further in the various combat buildings of Mobile Minigames like the Campaign and the Arena.
On the other hand, a lot of this value comes from the NFT burn page. Since every exported hero has a minimum PRPS amount that can be earned by burning the NFT, you will pretty much always be able to sell your NFT to other people.
Not only that, but the amount you can burn your NFT for creates a floor price for your NFT; you should always be able to sell your NFT for more than what you can burn it for!
While most of the sales have so far taken place on OpenSea in exchange for ETH, you can also sell your heroes in Mobile Minigames; specifically, you can sell them in the Blockchain building.
Assuming you've already setup your Blockchain wallet, you can view heroes for sale on the left menu. In this menu, you're free to search for heroes listed, view info on them, and buy them out if you so choose.
Current heroes for sale: a season 1 AtheneWins hero for 400 DUBI, and a season 1 ZeratoR hero for 650 DUBI.
Listing an exported hero or pet for sale here is also extremely easy!
You simply need to do the following:
- Open the Blockchain building.
- Click on the exported hero/pet that you want to sell.
- Click the "Create Auction" button (hammer button at the bottom).
- Set the price in DUBI.
- List the auction (costs a small amount of ETH for the transaction fee).
Creating an auction for a season 1, 12-star level 12 hero.
After doing this, you'll have an auction for your hero or pet available in exchange for DUBI!
The in-game hero and pet auction house is also connected to the website DubiEx. On DubiEx, you can view and trade your heroes and pets for DUBI just like you can in-game.
Hero auctions and sales on DubiEx.
All sales that take place in-game in the Blockchain building or on DubiEx are made in exchange for the cryptocurrency DUBI. You can then trade this DUBI for ETH on exchanges like UniSwap, and then sell that ETH for your native fiat currency.
For more info on this, feel free to check out the Cashing Out Guide to learn how to sell your DUBI and cash out ETH. For more info on DUBI, it's also recommended to check out the PRPS & DUBI Guide.
Even though all examples here have been using heroes, you can also sell your pets in the exact same way.
When it comes down to it, it may even be more profitable to try to export and sell pets since the export cost is so much cheaper! Regardless, you now have the info you need - three different locations where you can sell your heroes and pets to other players.
For more in-depth guides on earning money selling heroes and pets, check out the following guides:
While there is no guarantee a hero or pet will always sell for thousands of dollars like these examples, as long as people are playing the game, there will likely always be some demand.
However, it's possible - likely, I would argue - that as the game increases in popularity, these prices may even go higher! This is especially true for early season heroes and pets, since a lot of these may never be seen again.
Another way to earn money through Mobile Minigames is by renting your hero and pet NFTs out to other players.
Within the context of earning money renting heroes/pets, the steps to make money are the following:
- Collect a lot of Crypton through various in-game methods.
- Export a hero or pet to the Ethereum blockchain by paying a Crypton fee.
- Empower your hero or pet NFT with at least 0.001 DUBI.
- Earn DUBI and Crypton when other players rent the hero or pet for some time.
- Cash out the DUBI (follow the Cashing Out Guide).
- Optional: Turn your Crypton into PRPS, and then cash out that PRPS.
To make your hero or pet NFT available for rent, you first need to empower it with at least 0.001 DUBI.
Empowering is the process of permanently attaching DUBI to your NFT. Any hero or pet that has been empowered with at least 0.001 DUBI can be rented by other players - allowing you to earn with it.
In addition to making an empowered hero/pet available to rent, the more DUBI you empower your hero with, the more power it will have - making it much stronger in combat.
In the case of pets, the empowered DUBI doesn't give it any additional boosts beyond allowing it to be rented by other players.
So how do you empower? Empowering is as easy as selecting your hero/pet in the Blockchain building, and then clicking the "empower" button (to the right of the export button above your hero/pet collection).
Empowering a 12-star level 12 season 1 hero, which has already been empowered with 0.31 DUBI.
Once you have a hero or pet NFT which has been empowered with at least 0.001 DUBI, it is now automatically listed for rent, and another player can now rent it!
After making a hero or pet available for rent, you will gradually earn DUBI and Crypton from other people renting it.
Something worth noting: in order to claim the empowered DUBI off of the hero/pet, you need destroy said hero/pet.
This is why it's almost always better to sell an empowered hero/pet, or have it burned in the NFT burner (explained below) rather than destroying it outright. By selling it or using the NFT burner, you will get much more value for your hero than just the empowered DUBI.
For more in-depth guides on earning money renting heroes and pets, check out the following guides:
While renting may not be the most profitable method of earning in Mobile Minigames, it's still a great idea to empower your exported hero/pet since it allows you to just get free DUBI and Crypton.
In the end, you will likely still end up selling your hero or burning it - but at least you'll have earned some free DUBI and Crypton along the way!
So, why would people want to export heroes and pets to the Ethereum blockchain in the first place? What are the advantages of doing so?
In addition to the monetization aspect, exporting heroes and pets to the Ethereum blockchain separates them from your account.
This essentially means you can transfer your progress from one account to another. This can be hugely beneficial if you lost your main account credentials or you have a second account that you want to quickly progress through.
For example...
- You export a hero to the Blockchain under the Ethereum wallet of your current account.
- You can increase the power of your hero by empowering it with DUBI.
- You can sell the hero or rent the hero to other players for DUBI.
- If you have a second account, you could import the same ETH wallet into the Blockchain building of the second account and use the same hero on both accounts.
Like mentioned above, in order to actually make money through renting, selling, or burning, you first need to export your heroes or pets to the Blockchain.
To export your heroes or pets to the Blockchain, you need to do the following:
- Fully set up your Blockchain wallet by heading into the Blockchain building and following all required steps.
- Press the export button in the Blockchain building, OR, view a hero/pet in your collection, click on the extra shortcuts, and then click the export button.
- Click on the hero or pet that you wish to export, pay the Crypton fee, and then export it to the Blockchain!
That's it! As you can tell, exporting heroes and pets to the Blockchain is a fairly trivial process. If anything is still unclear, feel free to check out the Ultimate Export Guide for a more in-depth walkthrough of exporting.
Once you know how to export, one thing becomes very clear: the most difficult part about exporting is paying the Crypton cost.
Unfortunately, it's rather expensive exporting to the Blockchain. The main reason for this is to prevent the ETH network from being spammed by too many exports from new Mobile Minigames players.
The good news is that the Crypton cost of exporting to the Blockchain is not fixed; it can fluctuate based on a number of different factors.
The Crypton export cost adjusts in the following ways:
- The Crypton price will increase based on the star count and levels of heroes/pets
- The Crypton price will decrease based on the number of achievements collected as well as through some pet abilities
By default, exporting a 1-star level 1 hero costs 10K Crypton, while exporting a 12-star level 12 hero costs 1M Crypton.
10K Crypton comes out to around $100, and 1M Crypton comes out to around $10,000… So exporting to the Blockchain is clearly EXTREMELY expensive.
However, the longer you play the game, the easier and cheaper it will be for you to export your heroes to the Blockchain.
So, how exactly can you reduce the export cost?
Reducing your cost to export is hugely important. If you can reduce your cost to export to the Blockchain, you can export much more frequently, and you can also sell your exported heroes/pets for much cheaper without worrying about losing money.
You can reduce your Blockchain export cost using two primary game features:
- Achievement buffs
- TriHard Pet abilities
For every 65 achievements you collect, the Blockchain export cost will be reduced by 0.1%.
Additionally, the more Crypton you spend exporting heroes and pets to the Blockchain, the more you will be reducing the cost to export.
Although you will naturally collect a lot of achievements, there are methods which you can use to collect a ton of achievements quickly. See the Achievement Farming Guide for more.
One significant way to reduce the cost to export heroes and pets to the Blockchain is through TriHard pet abilities.
It works through the following two abilities:
If you are looking to export heroes, you should have an active TriHard pet with the Hero Trader ability, while if you are looking to export pets, you should have an active TriHard pet with the Pet Exporter ability.
Take a look at the Pet Abilities Guide for an explanation on how pet abilities work and how to activate them.
So, the best practice to export your heroes/pets to the Blockchain would be the following:
- Collect tons of achievements.
- Swap the Hero Trader or Pet Exporter ability onto your TriHard pet which has the highest number of stars.
- Capture the TriHard hatchery and set that TriHard pet as the active pet.
- Wait until the weekly reset, and then export your heroes/pets to the Blockchain with the newly reduced cost.
By taking these steps you will be drastically reducing the cost to export to the Blockchain, which is huge. There are also ways to acquire Crypton for free in Mobile Minigames.
In order to make money, you need to ensure you are spending as little as possible to export to the Blockchain.
On top of reducing your Blockchain export cost, you need to ensure you are getting a ton of Crypton using the best possible methods. So how can that be done?
Even after reducing the Blockchain export cost, it's still quite an expensive process. This is why it’s best that you have a ton of Crypton at your disposal. The more Crypton you have, the more frequently you can export; as a result, you'll have a better opportunity to make money.
Earning passive Crypton is probably the most significant way of earning Crypton, as it will bring a steady flow of Crypton to your account. You can potentially earn a ton of passive Crypton both as a free-to-play player and as a pay-to-play player.
Check out the Passive Crypton Guide for an in-depth guide on earning passive Crypton.
You can also earn a lot of Crypton by selling streamer skins, pet skins, hero skins, and loot cards on the Auction House. This is another great way to earn free Crypton, so it's an excellent option if you are a free-to-play player.
Check out the Auction House Trading Guide for an in-depth guide on Auction House trading.
Although the methods listed above are free methods of earning Crypton, you can spend money in many places to get Crypton.
The best place to buy Crypton is on the Gaming for Good shop. The Gem packages provide you both Gems and Crypton for much better value than what you can find in-game.
Check out the Pay-to-Play Guide for more info on the best purchases in Mobile Minigames.
Since you need PRPS or DUBI to make any purchases on the Gaming for Good shop, you need to know how to get these cryptocurrencies.
Check out the Buying PRPS & DUBI Guide for a walkthrough of the process of buying these cryptocurrencies.
Overall, by ensuring you are getting as much free Crypton as possible and by purchasing it for the best value possible, you are increasing the chances that you successfully profit off of your Blockchain endeavors.
