# How to Play
As of July 31st, the Proof of Play Arcade is now live on Abstract!
To play, you simply need to Buy credits - Play runs - Earn Abstract XP. The first play is free.
Once you have credits purchased, you can choose to use just one credit to get warmed up, or use a bunch to increase your score multiplier in your run. Score multipliers will be the best way to compete for the top spot and maximize your Abstract XP gains.
The Total Run Leaderboard winner will take home a Founder's Pirate in the first week's competition.
