As a calculated attempt to attract more gamers, Musk Empire has revealed a partnership with Notcoin, a popular game on the Telegram gaming community. This agreement expands the Musk Empire universe and offers exclusive quests and requests.
How to Play the Game
Playing the Musk game is quite simple and easy. Players can earn crypto on the Telegram page by doing the following.
- Tap-to-earn: Once you log in, to obtain the in-game currency, players have to keep tapping on Elon’s face until the energy bar runs out. After that, you can wait a while for it to replenish and repeat the same thing.
- Upgrades: After earning some tokens, you can spend some of them on upgrades to earn passive income when you are not tapping or even logging in to the game. These upgrades will continue to earn players some incentives but work only for 3 hours.
While there are other similar tap-to-earn games built on TON blockchain and available on Telegram, what sets Musk Empire apart from the competition is the popularity of tech mogul Elon Musk and his huge fanbase that have made the game viral. With its airdrop expected anytime now, Musk Empire is a game to watch out for.
