One of the first apps I tried was Mistplay.

It’s a mobile app that rewards you for downloading and playing new games.

The more time you spend playing, the more points you collect, which can then be exchanged for gift cards.

Some of the games I tested on Mistplay included puzzle adventures and word games like Wordscapes, a great way to relax while still earning.

Payout options include:

  • Amazon gift cards
