How to play CapsGame: a beginner step-by-step guide

CapsGame is a Telegram game on the TON blockchain where you collect digital caps, battle other players and earn the in-game Gum currency. Here is a simple step-by-step guide to start from scratch.

CapsGame in a nutshell

It is a Telegram Mini App in the play-to-earn spirit: it opens right inside the messenger, with no download and no third-party sign-up. The model is close to tappers like Notcoin or Hamster Kombat, but the gameplay is about battles and a card collection, not tapping.

Step 1. Open the bot in Telegram

Follow the CapsGame link — the official bot opens. Press “Start” to activate it. If you came through someone’s referral link, you are linked to their referral program right away.

Step 2. Launch the mini app

Press “Play” and the game opens inside Telegram. The main screen shows your activities: battles, cases, quests, profile and the friends section.

Step 3. Build your first deck of caps

Caps are the core of the game. You get them from quests and by opening cases. The stronger and rarer your caps, the better your odds in battle. Free caps from quests are plenty to start.

Step 4. Battle

CapsGame has several modes — pick one based on your energy:

• PvP — a battle against a real player for rating and rewards.
• PvE — solo battles that consume energy.
• Special modes — with higher-stakes, riskier gameplay.

Step 5. Earn Gum and invite friends

Battles, quests and activity reward you with Gum tokens and new caps. The referral system runs separately: invite friends with your link and earn bonuses for their activity. One active friend often beats dozens of hours of solo play.

Important: there is no endless tapping in CapsGame

The key difference from classic tappers: there is no point hammering the screen. A battle’s outcome depends on the strength of your deck and a bit of luck on the field. So progress means collecting caps and battling, not clicking.
