I Tried 4 Viral Game Apps That Offer Rewards In 2025! (My Experience)

JustPlay’s New Spring Challenge: What You Need to Know

So lately, JustPlay has dropped this big update with something they’re calling the Bloom and Boom Spring Cash Challenge. Right now, what you’ll see is five different challenges you can try and complete. For me, I had an active one where I needed to collect 10 tokens in Ball Bounds.

Then there were four other ones, like completing 10 levels in games like Spy Drop, Block Hole Clash, Water Sorder, and Tile Match Pro. It’s pretty straightforward—beat the levels and you’re good. What I noticed though is once you do the challenges for the day, that’s it. You’ve got to come back the next day. At least here in Australia, I don’t find the challenge rewards to be that great, but maybe in your country it’s better.

How Much Time and Rewards Did JustPlay Actually Give Me?

Before starting the spring challenge run, I had $3.21 in rewards. After completing all five game challenges, I ended up with 29 cents added on. Took me about 30 minutes to get through it all. Then I kicked off a fresh test with Sugar Rush Match 3 played that for nearly 2 and a half hours.

Last night it was showing as the highest rewarding game, but the next day Merge Blast was suddenly giving more coins. JustPlay seems to rotate which game has the highest reward rate, so you’ve really got to keep an eye on it. After grinding and racking up loyalty coins, I went from $384 to $425, so about a dollar of reward from around 3 hours of play. Sugar Rush felt pretty grindy though—lots of fails, lots of ads. But in my experience, JustPlay has always delivered the rewards without any problems.

My Full Breakdown of MoneyTime’s Reward System

MoneyTime didn’t have any huge updates going on, but what I did notice is they’ve got a pretty decent variety of games. For this video, I went with three different ones Sword Slash, Idle Tower Rush, and Mini Tennis Clash. All were played for an hour each. Started off with 1,000 Monies and no rewards in the balance. After Sword Slash, I was sitting at 95 cents worth of reward.

That game’s super basic—just hurl your swords at the enemies, level up, and keep going. Ads pop up just like in the others. Tower Rush was more laid-back—you just defend your tower and chill. That one got me up to around $1.63 total. Mini Tennis Clash was probably the most disappointing out of the bunch though. It’s not hard to play, but for the hour, it only brought me from $1.63 to $2, which felt pretty rough considering the amount of ads that showed up. At least the withdrawal system’s simple here—PayPal minimum is 2 cents. They’ve always paid me out without issues, but again, this is just my experience here in Australia.

What I Found While Testing the New PlayHive App

PlayHive’s one of those brand-new apps that’s clearly modeled after JustPlay. Straight up, it’s got a loyalty point system with a set goal you’ve got to reach. The more points, the better the reward—at least in theory. I only had three games unlocked, and one was still locked off. As you play more, more games unlock. I tested Asal BubbleShooter, and honestly, it wasn’t a bad game. It actually shows you where the ball’s going to land, which is rare for apps like this. Made it much easier to clear levels.

The thing that stood out though—those loyalty points seemed to shift every hour or so. Sometimes they spike, other times they don’t. To me, it felt like they don’t actually matter that much. It’s all about how many ads you’re watching behind the scenes. After about 3 hours of gameplay, I hit over 7 million loyalty points and walked away with 51 cents. A bit underwhelming. But when I tested the reward cash out, they sent it to me instantly—so no issues there at all.

BestPlay’s Promotions and Real Reward Results

So BestPlay had this wild promotion pop up where they claimed up to $11,000 in rewards—honestly, I’ve never seen anything like that before on their app. I must’ve caught it right at the end though, because it was gone the next day. I played Ball Sort Puzz first, which is just a really simple puzzle game—move the colors, stack the tubes.

Then I played Spade Stars and finished off with Water Sort Puzz. These games are all super casual, but again, ads are everywhere. I started off the session with $485 in rewards and after 3 hours ended up at $616. So about $1.31 increase. Last time I did one of these tests, BestPlay actually had the best outcome, but not this time around. Either way, every time I’ve cashed out with them here in Australia, I’ve never had an issue receiving the rewards. Can’t speak for other regions though—might be different where you are.

Final Thoughts: Are These Reward Game Apps Worth the Time?

Now that I’ve gone through JustPlay, MoneyTime, PlayHive, and BestPlay again, I think the big takeaway is that these apps really depend on where you live and how much time you’re willing to put in. In my case, most of them delivered rewards without any issues, but the effort versus what you actually get back can feel pretty low, especially when you’re watching ad after ad. That said, I keep testing these apps to see how they evolve and to share what I find. Hopefully this gives you a better idea of what to expect, at least from my point of view here in Australia. Thanks again for watching and supporting the channel—really appreciate it!
