Users can tap the hamster avatar to generate in-game coins, but the core mechanic requires players to purchase exchange upgrades to improve their profit per hour. Players can also earn coins for referring friends to play the game on Telegram, or by completing more difficult in-game tasks like solving a morse-code daily cipher linked to a secret word found in its daily YouTube videos, or buying a combination of three specific daily upgrades.
