"Play to earn" has a reputation problem. Too many games promised big rewards and paid in tokens nobody could sell. The games in this network take a plainer approach: they pay small amounts of POL, the native token of Polygon, straight to your wallet, and every payment is a public transaction you can check.
Below is every game in the network that pays POL, with what each has paid so far according to the Stack POL ledger on November 9, 2026. All of them run in a browser, and all of them are free to play.
The games, side by side
| Game | Type | POL paid so far | Payments |
|---|---|---|---|
| PolHunter | Scavenger hunt | 652.51 | 4,859 |
| Gem Kingdom | Fantasy match-3 | 379.04 | 686 |
| SpellWheel | Word game | 50.58 | 134 |
| ClutterHunt | Hidden objects | 33.70 | 305 |
| PolyWarriors | Cyberpunk fighting | 16.66 | 50 |
| POL Miner | Mining adventure | 14.33 | 48 |
| Drip Runner | Arcade runner | 11.28 | 153 |
| Turkey Drop | Seasonal arcade | 6.91 | 33 |
| PolyBreak | Brick breaker | 6.28 | 48 |
| Road Agent | Highway shooter | 4.69 | 48 |
Some games have been live much longer than others, so the totals say more about age and player count than about how generous a game is. Turkey Drop, for example, only opened on November 2.

How to start
Every game uses your InstantAdPay account to sign in, so one free account covers all of them. Link a Polygon wallet and your rewards go straight to it. Pick a game from the programs page and press play.
Game rewards are small and depend on how you play. No income is promised, and cryptocurrency involves risk.
