Township is a town and farm game from Playrix. You build houses and factories, grow crops, and decorate your town. It's free to play, and it does not pay you anything on its own.

What can pay you is a rewards app. It gives you money for reaching a level in the game. Here's how to set it up.

Does Township pay real money?

No. The coins and cash inside Township stay inside Township. You can't move them out.

The real money comes from somewhere else. Game makers pay rewards apps to bring in new players. The rewards app then pays you when you reach the goal it asks for. So the game is still just a game. The offer is the part that pays.

How to get paid to play Township

Four steps. The first one is the one people get wrong.

1. Open the rewards app first. Find Township in the offer list and start from there. If you install straight from the app store, nothing can be paid to you.
2. Check the game is new to you. If the store says "Open" instead of "Install", you've had it before. Then the offer will most likely not count.
3. Install from the offer link and open the game right away. Say yes to the tracking question when it pops up. Saying no is the most common reason people never get paid.
4. Play until you reach the level in the offer.

What does the offer ask for?

Most offers name a level number. Read two things before you install: the level, and how many days you have.

"Reach level 30 in 10 days" is a very different job from the same level with no time limit. Township levels get slower as you go, so a high number takes longer than it sounds.

Township tips to level up faster

• Keep your fields busy. Plant something every time you open the game. Empty fields earn nothing.
• Match crops to your factories. Grow what your factories need next, not whatever is cheapest.
• Fill orders with the plane and trains. Orders are the fastest way to get experience points, and experience is what raises your level.
• Join the limited-time events and regattas. They hand out free prizes while you play anyway.
• Don't spend cash on speeding things up. If you need to buy your way to the level, the offer isn't worth it any more.

Is it worth your time?

It depends on one thing: would you play Township anyway?

If you already open it every day, adding an offer costs you nothing. If you're only installing it for the money, check the level first. Town builders are slow by design, and a short puzzle game will usually pay out sooner.

Take a screenshot of your level each time you pass a goal. If the money doesn't show up, that photo is the only proof that helps. Our tips for earning more cover how to pick offers you will actually finish, and how gaming rewards work explains the paying side.
