How it works
Play the market. Risk nothing.
The Tradexus Arcade is a set of free games built on real crypto charts and real Tradexus Times headlines. They are made to sharpen how you read markets and news — not to gamble.
Your account
Playing needs a free Tradexus Times account — the same one used across the network. If you don’t have one, you can create it in a few seconds from any game. Only your nickname is shown on leaderboards; your email never is. You can change your nickname on your profile.
XP, levels and streaks
Every finished game earns XP. XP raises your level (level 2 at 100 XP, level 3 at 300, level 4 at 600 and so on). Play on consecutive days (UTC) to build your daily streak — miss a day and it starts again.
Missions, Arcade Points and badges
Three daily missions — the same for everyone — pay extra XP and Arcade Points. Points unlock cosmetic skins in the action games and nothing else: they have no cash value. Badges mark milestones such as solving a Chartle in two tries, a seven-day streak or a perfect Scam Hunter case.
Leaderboards
There is an overall board (XP earned this week) and a board for each game, by day, week and all time. Weeks run Monday to Sunday, UTC. Chartle, Candle Clash, Scam Hunter and Token Arena add up your points over the period; the other games count your best single game; Chain Builder counts your network’s throughput (TPS). Practice games never count.
Fair play
- Scores are worked out on our server from your moves — never sent by the browser.
- Answers are revealed only after you answer; timed games are timed on the server.
- A daily round counts once. Leaving a daily round half-way counts it as played.
- One account per person. Accounts that cheat, use bots or have offensive nicknames are removed from the boards.
Sponsored tournaments
From time to time a partner may sponsor a tournament on one game, with prizes from the sponsor. Tournaments are always free to enter, need no deposit or purchase, and their full rules are published on the tournaments page before they start. There is no tournament running right now.
The games
- Chartle — Guess the coin from its 7-day chart in six tries. A new puzzle every day; share your grid.
- Headline Hunch — Real Tradexus Times headlines. Did the coin rise or fall in the day after the story?
- Candle Rush — 60 seconds on a replay of a real chart. Call each next candle up or down and build a streak.
- Candle Clash — Five real charts, the same for everyone today. Read each one and call the next six hours.
- Crypto Rush — 60 seconds. Catch the tokens, dodge the rug pulls and phishing hooks, and build your combo.
- Gas Escape — Steer your ship through the network, collect energy and dodge gas clouds and congestion.
- Liquidation Escape — A runner where leverage multiplies your score — and how fast the liquidation line catches you.
- Alpha Blitz — 30 seconds of crypto questions. Right and fast scores most; every answer comes with an explanation.
- Scam Hunter — Be a crypto-security detective: spot the warning signs in fake emails, sites and wallet prompts.
- Portfolio Survivor — Steer a virtual $10,000 through crashes, hacks and rallies. Risk management beats raw return.
- Token Arena — Collect blockchain-concept cards, build a lineup of three and beat the Arena bot.
- Chain Builder — Start with one node and grow a network. Fast chains cost more, cheap ones are slower — choose.
Questions
Is the Tradexus Arcade free?
Yes. Every game is free. There is no money, no deposit and no betting. XP and Arcade Points have no cash value and cannot be bought, sold or withdrawn.
Why do I need an account to play?
So your scores, streak, XP and badges are saved, and so the leaderboards stay fair — one player, one place on the board. It is the same free Tradexus Times account used across the network.
Where does the game data come from?
Chart games replay real hourly prices from the past week (shown without prices or dates where the game needs it). Headline Hunch uses real Tradexus Times headlines and the price move measured by our News Impact tracker. Portfolio Survivor and Scam Hunter use made-up assets, names and events.
How are scores checked?
Every score is worked out on our server from your moves — answers, calls, lane changes or jump times — never taken from the browser. Unfinished games are cancelled, and accounts that cheat are removed from the leaderboards.
Is this financial advice?
No. The Arcade is for fun and learning. Nothing in a game is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
