Welcome to **Reality Rush**! Here's your guide to beginning your journey and building your dream city.

### First Steps

When you start the game for the first time, you'll find yourself on a map ready to be transformed into a bustling metropolis. Your primary task is to tap the map to earn [RP (Reality Points](/reality-rush/getting-started/rp-points.md)), which are the heart of the Reality Rush ecosystem.

#### Earning RP Points

* **Tap the Map**: Earn RP points by tapping the map. Each tap brings you closer to upgrading your city.
* **Leveling Up**: Earn enough points, and you'll be able to [level up](/reality-rush/getting-started/city-levels.md). Each level unlocks new opportunities and rewards.
* **Play Mini Games:** Participate in [mini-games](/reality-rush/advanced-gameplay/mini-games.md) like [Infinity Tap](/reality-rush/advanced-gameplay/mini-games/infinity-tap.md) to earn additional RP Points, bonuses, and rewards based on your performance.

#### Using RP Points

RP points are your currency for growth and expansion. You can use them to:

* **Increase Energy**: Boost your [energy](/reality-rush/getting-started/energy-system.md) to tap more frequently and earn points faster.
* **Energy Regeneration Speed**: Enhance the speed at which your energy regenerates, allowing for more continuous gameplay.
* **Purchase City Services**: Invest in and upgrade hundreds of unique [city services](/reality-rush/advanced-gameplay/city-services.md) to improve your city's infrastructure and aesthetics.
* **Purchase Boosts**: Buy [boosts](/reality-rush/advanced-gameplay/game-boosts.md) to increase your points generation per tap, accelerating your city’s growth.
* **Purchasing Sweepstakes Tickets**: Exchange points for [sweepstakes tickets](/reality-rush/real-value-rewards/ticket-sweeptakes-system.md) to participate in raffles for real-world prizes.
* **Leaderboard Position**: Points act as a measure for leaderboard rankings, determining eligibility for [token](/reality-rush/airdrop/token-airdrop.md) and [NFT](/reality-rush/airdrop/nft-airdrops.md) airdrops.

### Leveling Up and Rewards

As you progress and your city expands, each level achieved brings new rewards:

* **Level Rewards**: Each level up grants you various [rewards](#leveling-up-and-rewards), enhancing your gameplay experience.
* **First Lootbox**: Upon reaching your first level up, you'll receive your first [lootbox](/reality-rush/getting-started/lootboxes.md). This lootbox contains one of a hundred famous locations from around the world. These digital assets significantly boost your income per tap and increase your passive point generation while you're away.

#### Maximizing Your City's Potential

The more buildings and services you have active on the map, the higher your point generation will be. Expanding your city not only increases your points per tap but also enhances your overall passive income, allowing your city to grow even when you're not actively playing.

### Advanced Gameplay

As you advance in the game, you'll unlock new tasks and features:

* **Mayor Tasks**: Complete important [tasks](/reality-rush/advanced-gameplay/tasks.md) that every mayor needs to address, earning additional rewards and boosting your city's growth.
* **Referral Program**: [Invite friends](broken://pages/7NSvlsggcWZzbWU9QJ6I) to join the city-building experience. Collaborate and compete to create the most impressive city.

### Points, Tickets, and Real Prizes

At later stages, you'll be able to exchange your RP points for tickets. These [tickets](/reality-rush/real-value-rewards/ticket-sweeptakes-system.md) can be used to:

* **Win Real Prizes**: Participate in raffles and competitions to win exciting real-world rewards.
* **Token and NFT Airdrops**: The most successful cities will receive valuable token and NFT airdrops, providing exclusive benefits and recognition.
