Have you been trying to make some passive crypto, but hate the ad watching, high withdrawal fees, and general lack of a fun time that goes along with it? I sure have. However, if you are up for some walking, I have another app for you to check out: CoinHuntWorld.

What is CoinHuntWorld?

Very reminiscent of a certain creature catching mobile phone game, CoinHuntWorld (or CHW) rewards users for walking, finding keys, finding vaults, and solving the trivia question that goes along with them. It is currently in its beta stages, but is still paying out loads of cryptos.

This is a good time to point out that I am not sponsored, these are only my opinions, and the information provided is for entertainment purposes only. Now that we have that out of the way, let's examine more about how one plays this game.

The first time that you load into the game, you will be given 8 blue keys. Each one can open a blue vault, and, if you get the trivia question correct, you are given roughly 10c of either ETH or BTC. However, the scaling of rewards is what I really enjoy about this app. At any spot you find a key around the map, you can combine your keys as well. 10 blue keys equals 1 green key, which pays out $1 per vault opened. 10 green keys equals 1 yellow key, paying $10. The game also has red and purple keys ($100 and $1000) but are only usable in special events to the best of my knowledge. Each drop is a random possibility of either crypto (Eth or Btc).  

More Game Mechanics:

Walking around any city, you should find a variety of key booths and vaults. Once you are within a certain radius you can collect the keys or, in the case of a vault, open it with that same color key. Another feature that differentiates this game from others in its field is the ability to set up a headquarters near your place of residence.

This will pump out 1 green key per day with the upfront cost of only 1 green key. This should allow you to easily find and earn $1 in crypto (again, normally Bitcoin or Ethereum) a day. However, I forgot to mention that the harder the vault, the more difficult the trivia question, as well as the more rare it is to actually find that colored vault.

Payouts:

You can withdraw any crypto earned after gaining 10k resin another reward you can take from opening vaults.

This resin must then be spent, and you permanently link your Uphold wallet to the game. I know this is definitely not ideal, but you don't have an alternative withdrawal method as of yet. The withdrawals are done once a week, which seems to be a really speedy transaction time. These payouts only recently began, in fact, as before the money was just locked in the app until Uphold was introduced. How much can you expect? A lot of the reward tiers depend upon how populous you area is, but also how much you get out and walk to each destination. This is not like WeNano where people need to pay for you to earn, but rather the game's software is supposed to place these things all over. for that reason, I like this app much more. Some people have claimed to make nearly 1k in Bitcoin and Ethereum combined per month playing this, so it really comes down to how much time you are going to invest in it as well.

How to Download:

The process is a bit weird for iOS users, so I am copy-pasting what a CHW forum post says to do (also, the app is only usable for residents of the United States and Canada, although the app has promised a update later this year allowing European users too):

"Android users can find the app in the Play Store.

Users on iOS need to install the TestFlight first: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664.

Once TestFlight is installed you can download Coin Hunt World from the following link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/2jlFVFVq"

Again, the source of this is linked below, a few on CHW's medium page.

Final Thoughts:

The game is definitely quite a crazy development to the crypto space, and is quite one of a kind. If your town happens to not have much, you can contact them through their discord, and they might give you a vault to place around your town.

As a quick side note, the game claims to make money through: As "1) we sell some exclusive cosmetic items for your avatar (crafting recipes). 2) we will charge token teams who want to use our platform to educate users about their tokens. 3) marketing programs with businesses including brick and mortar ones that can take advantage of our foot traffic." 

The game is still small, but the playerbase is rapidly expanding, so if you would like to try it out, do so soon (in my opinion)! Thank you for reading this article, and have a great day. May God bless!
