Getting Started With Web3 Games For FREE | WAX Blockchain Play To Earn Guide By Akahilz (Part 1)
The emergence of Blockchain technology made it easier, for Gamers to get more value playing games. In the traditional world, bets or contests had to be placed for participants, before they could earn real cash.
I remember playing PS2 (PlayStation), Card games (Whot), and a couple of other games a while back with friends, but with little or no rewards.
Yes! The feeling of winning a game or bonding was there, but then again; this was not sustainable as you could see parents pulling their kids away from these games (Bills had to be paid).
Introducing Web3 Gaming
With Web3 Games, players can now get rewarded for playing their favorite blockchain game. Since 2021, there have been records of users, who became millionaires playing games, called “Play-To-Earn” (P2E).
Well, if you are new to web3, Play-To-Earn games are a great way to get started, as you could not only earn but learn a lot about the tech through these fun games.
Exploring WAX Games
The WAX io Blockchain is one of the most innovative beginner-friendly blockchains out there, currently housing tons of web3 play-to-earn games. Since its launch in 2017, WAX has ranked as a Creator purpose-built blockchain, providing innovative solutions for NFTs and Gaming projects.
As of writing, the WAX Games week just started — featuring top projects. Here, I’ll be covering some of the innovative games you can explore for free, and hopefully, make it big with them.
Getting Started
a). Create a WAX Wallet: To begin your journey, you’ll need a WAX wallet. You can create one easily through platforms like Anchor or the WAX Cloud Wallet. This wallet will store your NFTs and any cryptocurrency you earn. It's more like your gateway or passkey to exploring the WAX Ecosystem easily.

These are some of the best ways to access the WAX ecosystem games easily. Next, let’s explore some of the games.
1. RadaQuest TCG
The RadaQuest game happens to be one of my favorites on the WAX io Blockchain, due to its simplicity and similarity with the popular “Candy Crush” game. The game, however, comprises multiple aspects, as players can explore lands and a couple of other things too ( I haven’t paid much attention to these though, just the main game).
The above image is one of the recent campaigns, where top players have been rewarded. These rewards are tradeable in the open market, preferably Alcor Exchange.
If you are looking to earn, you can start with this game, learn the rudiments, and hopefully, earn in their regular campaigns (sometimes weekly).
Use this video to explore the game's perks, and you can become a pro in no time.

2. Alien Worlds
At the heart of WAX io Blockchain is the prestigious Alien Worlds Metaverse, one of the leading pioneers in the WAX gaming ecosystem, and referred to as the “Number 1 blockchain game in web3”.
Alien Worlds is a space-themed game where players mine for Trilium (TLM), own/rent lands, and engage in battles using NFTs. As a Metaverse-driven game, players (Explorers) can access a wide variety of games.
This was one of the contents I developed on the AlienWorlds ecosystem a while back. One cool thing to note is that;
“Builders/developers and regular gamers can access multiple opportunities with Alien Worlds.“ — — Akahilz
As of writing, Alien Worlds is giving up to $50,000 rewards to Indie Game Developers. Also, with regular campaigns and contests, regular explorers can mine TLM and are allowed to contribute to the growth of the ecosystem for rewards.
Moreover, the recently launched Tokenized Lore has been a game changer for explorers, as it provides the opportunity to contribute to the storytelling of AlienWorlds game.
Meet RCasters — my favorite character in the AlienWorlds Lore.

3. WUFFI Tap
This is probably the easiest of them all and would have been first on the list due to its utmost simplicity with zero technicalities. I mean, you only need to have a Telegram app to access this game, as it uses the “TapFi” or “Tap-To-Earn” mechanism, popular among Telegram mini apps.
Currently, the WUFFI Tap season 1 campaign is ongoing with over $800k in rewards for players and is scheduled to round up by the end of September 2024.
Season 2 should kick off next, as the first season was scheduled to run for 90 days only (July — September, 3 months).
