All games published on HypeHype automatically take part into the challenge. You can monitor your game's performance from the game's stats page.

HypeHype is currently available in the App Store and Google Play in Canada, Finland and the Philippines, but creators from any country can get access from here. Just fill in the form on the page. You will get the access usually within 48 hours of sending your request. HypeHype works on mobile phones, tablets, desktops, Windows and Mac.

The HypeHype app comes with the fastest game engine on mobile and a powerful mobile game editor. Just download the HypeHype app, go the Create tab and start making games from a template, tutorial, from scratch or by remixing an existing game.

Yes! Once you have earned $200 USD worth of HypeX from all your published HypeHype games combined, including both engagement payouts and in-game purchases, you will be able to request a cash out from your HypeHype account.

You can also spend some of your earnings inside HypeHype.

*You are allowed one completed cash out request per calendar month.

During the current early access phase of HypeHype, with limited availability, your game can potentially exceed $10k USD per month in engagement payouts alone.

On top of that, you have endless possibilities with in-game purchases.

For example, the current top game, Rock Tycoon Idle, in HypeHype is averaging over $4k USD per month.

We award earnings through our "Bucket Structure" and here's how it works.

Example:

For every 1000 players playing the game for 30 minutes, each contribute the following:

*60 minutes = 1 hour.

1000 x 1 minutes = 16.6 hours into the 0-1 minute bucket

1000 x 4 minutes = 66.7 hours into the 1-5 minutes bucket

1000 x 5 minutes = 83.3 hours into the 5-10 minutes bucket

1000 x 5 minutes = 83.3 hours into the 10-15 minutes bucket

1000 x 15 minutes = 250 hours into the 16-60 minutes bucket

The total engagement based revenue from those 1000 players would be calculated as follows:

16.6 hours @ $0.00 + 66.7 hours @ $0.05 + 83.3 hours @ $0.10 + 83.3 hours @ $0.20 + 250 hours @ $0.30 = Total: $103.33 USD

The game metrics page on each created game in HypeHype shows information about how the game is performing.

At this point in time, we will pay based on combined playtime. We weight later play minutes (the longer the player is playing) more than early ones for each player, so try to make games that players will engage with for a longer period of time and play again on the following days.

Playtime earns for each game in the following way:

*Time played is per player.

Eg. if two players play your game for 5 minutes each, both players give your game 1 minute (2 total) of first minute playtime, and 4 minutes (8 total) of 2-5 minute bucket's playtime.

**Earnings per hour played is combined from all players playing the game. Earnings in USD.

Numbers refresh in the beginning of each calendar month and are valid for one month at a time.

Earning Examples:

10 players playing 30 minutes each, contribute 10 x 1 minute = ⅙ hour into the 0-1 minute bucket.

10 x 4 minutes = ⅔ hour into the 2-5 minute bucket

10 x 5 minutes = ⅚ hour into the 6-10 minute & 10-15 minute buckets

10 x 15 minutes = 150 minutes = 2.5 hours into the 16-60 minute bucket

The total revenue from those 10 players would thus be:

1/6 x $0.00 + 2/3 x $0.05 USD + 5/6 x $0.10 USD + 5/6 x $0.20 USD + 5/6 x $0.30 USD + 2.5 x $0.30 USD = $1.03 USD

A thousand such players would thus make $103.30 USD.

However, if their average playtime would be 30 minutes (and not exactly 30 minutes for each), they would actually make more. This is because some players would play for longer and some shorter, but the longer playtime pays more.

The playtime earning is capped at 3 hours per player per game and after 3 hours of play, the game doesn't earn more from that player anymore. This makes the maximum per player engagement payment per game approximately $1.00 USD.

This is to maintain integrity and minimize any manipulation of the system (ie. bots).

*HypeHype Inc. reserves the right to remove any suspicious playtime or player activity from engagement based playtime at its sole discretion.

Net revenue is the income that HypeHype receives after 3rd parties take their cuts including processing payment fees related to all purchases and refunds of HypeX.

These fees are paid directly to Apple (iOS) and Google (Android).

In details, 100% net revenue share for creators means that you get 100% commission on all in-game purchase revenue excluding Apple or Google platform share & tax per country (average 35% of gross combined, varies by country).

Thus, you will receive 65% of the gross revenue from player spent HypeX currency in your games.

As HypeHype's developer & publisher we of course have also other running costs (HypeHype development, online servers, support and moderation etc.), but none of these will be deducted at this point.

To receive your earnings, you must agree to our Terms of Service and meet the simple requirements set out in those Terms, some of which are as follows

- 18 years of age or older. If you are younger,  it is possible to request the payment to be made eg. to your parents account with their consent.

- $200 USD worth of HypeX in your account

- Having complied with HypeHype Community Guidelines

Yes! We are currently running a $100k USD game creation competition! Check out details from here.

Once you create your first game, you’ll see game performance on the metrics dashboard, and this is where you can track your games engagement along with key metrics, data points and insights and even playtesting videos to help improve your game.

Earning is based on fair and transparent game performance.

Creators can also see game stats and rewards from other games on the platform. This can be a fantastic way to learn and improve their own games to potentially increase earnings.

Every game starts earning automatically.

We feel you. Jumping on to a new product always requires a leap of faith.

However, jumping early means your games and you as a creator will get a headstart. Your games start making money today with less competition.

Once HypeHype is globally available, your games will be ready for big audiences which also potentially means much bigger payouts.

Making and releasing games in HypeHype is a lot faster than traditional game development and engines so it is really effortless to just try it out with your phone, tablet or desktop.

HypeHype is not currently set-up to allow creators to export their games to other platforms on their own, however we are open to exploring this possibility on a case by case basis.

If you have a successful game in HypeHype and there is potential for it beyond our platform we are happy to discuss how you might export your game, for example, to consoles.

While the app has not been set-up for this purpose it is technically feasible and we have experience in this area taking our first mobile game, BADLAND, to all consoles and desktops.

At this point we don’t make money.

This is on purpose as we are still in early access and building the foundation of HypeHype together with you. 

Our goal is to drive as much money to our creators as possible while we develop, maintain, and improve HypeHype.

We're constantly developing and updating the tools and technology that powers the platform and empowers our creator community.

Naturally, the net revenue share will develop over time and most likely change as HypeHype is not earning anything with the 100% creator revenue share while still having development and running costs.

During the early access we might need to modify the system rules and eligibility requirements at any time and for any reason.

We are very much open to feedback!

HypeHype Inc., formerly Frogmind, are the developers of HypeHype, the BADLAND series, Badland Brawl, Rumble Stars Football and Rumble Hockey.

We are located in Helsinki, Finland, and operate independently in a long-term partnership with Supercell, which recently invested 13M EUR to accelerate and expand the development of our company and HypeHype.

HypeHype Inc. has already grown into a team of 50 developers working on the HypeHype platform, and we are looking for more awesome people to join our ambitious journey of enabling anyone to become a creator of games.

At this time, we are capping the combined monthly creator earnings to a maximum of $100,000 USD per month.

To avoid abuse (eg. by bots), we are capping the engagement payout playtime per device and user per game to 4 hours per day and reserve the right to remove suspected bot user accounts from the reward calculations.

Over time we will improve tracking metrics based on your, creator and player feedback.

The listed payment rates are subject to change as HypeHype develops forward. 

We reserve the right to change these terms as HypeHype develops forward. This page will always reflect the latest terms.
