In Scopely’s Scrabble Go, you don’t need to spend Gems to play the classic Scrabble game mode. However, Gems are necessary to enter tournaments, purchase boosters to power-up your score, and buy fancy avatars or tiles to spice up your experience. Good thing there’s a decent number of ways to get free Gems if you want them!
Level Up and Earn Chests (20+ Gems per chest)
With each level you gain, you’ll earn a Gem Chest. Open these to gain extra goodies as you play the game!
You can open chests for completing other actions in-game, so this advice is relevant across the board: you can earn extra rewards from chests by just watching an ad. It isn’t a huge increase, but with a bit of extra time spent per chest, the numbers start to add up swiftly.
Click the button to the lower-right of the chest for the chance to gain extra Gems easily with every single chest you open!
Earn Gems through partner Rewards (5-14,000 Gems per reward)
That’s right, there are some rewards that’ll get you over 14k Gems if you use Unity Rewards. Scroll to the bottom of the Shop menu and tap the ‘Free Gem Offers Available’ button under the ‘More Offers’ heading. This will take you to a page where you can shop and download apps in exchange for potentially huge Gem rewards.
The quests you have to complete range from downloading and leveling up on another game to subscribing to partner companies’ services. You’ll be able to see the total reward amount at the very start, and be warned: not all of them are free, so keep your eyes out and don’t spend money you weren’t already planning to.
The ones I tend to go for are the small rewards which require viewing a specific video, as it’s very low-commitment. It can also take up to a day for your rewards to appear in your account, so be patient with these ones.
Earn Money Online (150-6,000 Gems per purchase)
By playing Scrabble Go through Freecash, you can earn just by playing! This cash can then be used to purchase Gems through the in-game store. It’s one of the easiest ways to earn free Gems in Scrabble go:
-
Create an account on Freecash.com
-
Select Scrabble Go
-
Download the game with our QR code to connect your accounts
-
Play the game (ensure you press ‘Allow’ when asked if you want other companies to access your gameplay data)
-
Complete in-game tasks - most of these involve leveling up which you’d be doing anyway
-
Cash out via your favoured method (Google Play and Apple vouchers are free options that can be used directly in Scrabble Go)
-
Use the earnings to purchase Gems in the in-game shop!
Daily Freebies (20+ Gems per day)
By logging in to Scrabble Go daily, you’ll be able to take advantage of a ton of free Gem offers. Make sure you don’t miss any!
Inbox Gifts
Be sure you regularly check your Inbox - that’s the envelope icon at the top of the screen. Here, you’ll receive a gift which changes each day. For Day 1 I got a nice stack of 20 Gems, but this won’t always be the reward. Arena tickets, customisations for your tiles, and cosmetics are also regularly available.
Video Daily Gift
Go to the Shop screen and find the heading ‘Daily Chests’. Two of these require payment, but you’ll be able to earn one single chest for free just by watching a video. It won’t always give you Gems - sometimes it’ll give you XP - but for a free gift, you can’t really go wrong.
Daily Point Chests
You can guarantee rewards here. By playing Scrabble Go and actually scoring points (easier said than done), you can gain rewards of increasing sizes. The second Daily Chest requires you to score 500 points, and it’ll contain 12-20 Gems, so by actively playing some good Scrabble, you’ll be regularly rewarded with Gems and prizes.
If you turn on app notifications or sync your Facebook or Contacts to Scrabble Go, you’ll unlock more Daily Chests as an ongoing reward, too.
