Everything you need to know about playing VS Compete, winning real prizes, and how it all works. New here? Start with the beginner's guide.

Getting started

What is VS Compete?

VS Compete is a 1v1 skill-game arcade. You go head-to-head with another player in fast carnival games — quick-draw duels, memory matches, mental-math sprints and more — and the more skilled player wins. It's free to start and you must be 18 or older.

Is VS Compete free to play?

Yes. Your first tokens are on the house, and no purchase is necessary to play or to win prizes. You can compete and earn entirely through skill.

Do I need to download an app?

No — you can play right in your browser. Installing the app gives you a smoother full-screen experience, challenge alerts, and a one-time token bonus, but it's optional. The same account works either way.

How old do I have to be?

You must be 18 or older to play VS Compete or to redeem prizes.

Playing & winning

How do I win a match?

Every game turns your run into a score or time, and the better score wins — same game, same conditions for both players. See how scoring works.

Is winning based on skill or luck?

Pure skill. There's no chance element in who wins — your reactions, memory and precision decide every match. That's why practice measurably improves your results.

What games can I play?

Quick-draw duels, whack-a-ghost, memory matches, rhythm games, mental math, arcade shooters and more. Browse the full lineup on the games page, each with its own strategy guide.

What are The Pit and The Arena?

The Pit is a 1v1 token duel and The Arena is an 8-player tournament. Full breakdown in the game modes guide.

Can I play with friends?

Yes — challenge anyone by username for free, invite friends by email (you both get tokens), or host a Party Duel QR room. See playing with friends.

Tokens & prizes

What are tokens?

Tokens are what you win in stake matches and redeem for real prizes. Your first tokens are free, and no purchase is necessary to earn more.

How do I earn free tokens?

Win stake matches, invite friends (you both get tokens), and install the app for a one-time bonus. See how to earn free tokens.

How do I win real prizes?

Redeem the tokens you've won on the Prize Wall for real merchandise, which ships to you. See how redemption works.

Are the prizes real?

Yes — the Prize Wall is a live catalog of real items, and redeemed prizes are shipped to you.

Can I buy tokens to get prizes faster?

No — the Prize Wall takes only tokens you've won. It's a skill competition, so you earn your rewards rather than buy them.

What's the difference between tokens and Rank Points?

Rank Points come from free play and measure your skill on the global board. Tokens come from winning stake matches and are what you spend on prizes. You can climb both.

Trust & safety

Is VS Compete legit?

Yes. It's a skill-based competition platform — games are decided by skill, prizes are real and shipped to winners, and no purchase is necessary to play or to win.

Is VS Compete gambling?

No. Outcomes are determined by skill, not chance, which is the core distinction from gambling. Your performance decides every match.

Is it legal where I live?

VS Compete is for players 18 and older, and availability may be restricted in some regions. It's void where prohibited — check your local rules.

Do I have to spend money?

No. Playing is free to start, and no purchase is necessary to play or to win prizes. Skill — not spending — fills your token balance.

Where can I read the terms and privacy policy?

On the Terms & Privacy page.

Account & alerts

How do I turn on challenge alerts?

Toggle Alerts in your Account. On iPhone, add VS Compete to your Home Screen first, then reopen it. Full steps in the challenge alerts guide.

Can I play on both my phone and computer?

Yes — the same account works in any browser and in the installed app, so your tokens and rank follow you.

How do I invite a friend?

Send your invite by email or share your link. When a friend joins through it, you both get free tokens and they're added as a friend.
