Rise & Hustle: The Game that Pays you to Play & Earn Real Rewards
Rise & Hustle is redefining gaming for the Nigerian youth by turning every minute of play into real-world rewards. Unlike traditional mobile games that consume time and data without giving back, Rise & Hustle allows players to start from the ground up, complete quick, street-style mini-games and daily missions, and earn in-game coins (Bucks) that can be instantly redeemed for mobile airtime, data bundles, merchandise, or even cashback from partner stores. Bucks can also be converted into Rise Tokens (a BEP-20 crypto asset).
In other words, every grind in the game translates into real, tangible value. With its official launch just around the corner, the buzz among Nigerian gamers is electric.
With 92% of Nigerians owning smartphones and 83% of all gaming activity happening on mobile devices, the country is a mobile-first gaming hub. Rise & Hustle was built specifically for this environment — a lightweight, phone-friendly, and reward-driven experience that blends the thrill of gaming with real-life payoffs.
Josh Tromans-Jones, co-founder and CEO of Rise & Hustle, sums up the mission perfectly:
“Gamers in Lagos, Abuja, and across Nigeria are done with games that only take their data and give nothing back. Rise & Hustle changes the game by delivering entertainment and real-world tangible rewards. Our proprietary rewards engine is built to benefit players at every level of the game from Missions through to Squads and we’re proud to launch the game here in Nigeria.”
He continues:
“We’re excited to bring Rise & Hustle to Nigeria, where every tap, grind, and level-up earns you Bucks that you can turn into airtime, Rise crypt,o and real rewards from our partners.”
Teaming up with Squads
Rise & Hustle players can also build and compete with Squads, the social engine behind the game which empowers players to team up, build alliances, and compete together for bigger rewards. Whether you're climbing the leaderboard or unlocking new levels, your Squad has your back. Massive weekly prizes are also on offer. But the real magic? When one player in your Squad earns Bucks, everyone in the Squad gets paid. Win together, rise together.
Gaming with Local Soul
Rise & Hustle’s design is simple, fun, and unapologetically Nigerian. The mini-games, visuals, and dialogue echo local slang, street hustle culture, and the daily grind that young Nigerians can relate to.
Social media is already lighting up with reactions from eager fans:
● “Playing and getting free airtime is better than paying to play. I’m there! 😂”
● “Finally, a game that pays me while I play.”
● “Okay, maybe I should start gaming now.”
Unlike other mobile games that demand expensive hardware or heavy data usage, Rise & Hustle is:
● Lightweight and optimized for entry-level smartphones.
● Designed for low bandwidth, meaning it works even in areas with unstable internet.
● Completely free of pay-to-win tactics, focusing on skill and consistency instead of in-app purchases.
The game’s co-founder, Josh Tromans-Jones, emphasizes the vision behind it:
“We wanted to make the hustle spirit feel rewarding and evoke a sense of satisfaction. The game’s progressive approach sees players grind their way from Street Hustler to Kingpin Topdog across 12 mission-led levels. Every second you play matters, with art and dialogue crafted to pull you in, and rewards that keep giving as you grind.
Africa’s gaming market is booming, and Nigeria is leading the charge — with a $300 million gaming market in 2024 alone. Rise & Hustle is perfectly positioned to tap into this surge, but with a unique twist: it’s giving back real-world value.
From Telegram groups to WhatsApp communities, players are already discussing how to stack coins, cash out rewards, and build strategies to maximize their earnings. This early buzz is proof that the platform isn’t just launching a game — it’s creating a movement."
