Get paid to play Puzzles & Survival
Puzzles & Survival is a mobile strategy game set in a post-apocalyptic world where a deadly virus has turned people into zombies. The game is a blend of the classic “city builder” and tile-matching genres. At its core is a sanctuary that players must develop in order to progress. The Sanctuary is your home base where you’ll build facilities needed to survive, research new technologies, and train troops and heroes to fight off zombies. The main campaign is a series of puzzle-matching games where you put your heroes to use battling zombies.
Puzzles & Survival is an okay way to waste time on your phone. But it is heavily geared towards pay-to-play players, who will raid other players via the world map. The game developers make so much money from this kind of paying player that they pay advertisers substantial rewards to convince new users to sign up. Some of these advertisers (Inbox Pounds, Swagbucks, ySense, Freecash, RewardXP, etc.) will pass on some of this money to players and effectively pay people to play the game.
On Reddit, we like earning a little cash for playing games and we write guides to help others do the same. Puzzles and Survival is one of the easiest city builders to earn a little money from. Currently, several sites are paying £60 to new players who download Puzzles & Survival and complete level 17 (reach level 18). This can be completed in around 11-12 days with the tips and tricks below.

The Puzzles & Survival Guide

See table at bottom of post for the building levels required to complete (these are what I finished with when I played through to level 18).

Tips
- Check out the building requirements in the table below, and look ahead to see what you will need to build for the next levels. Upgrade buildings in advance when the second build queue is idle.
- For example, level 15 requires the trading post to be upgraded. To upgrade the trading post, you also need the alliance hall upgraded. It’s best to level up these buildings early.
- Use diamonds to activate the second build queue.
- Do buy the 3* builder armor for £4.99Builder armor reduces the resources needed for buildings. Lets you save resources for later levels 15-17 where they will be needed! Who wants to farm?! Once purchased, you must equip the armor (click on your profile on the top left of the main screen).
- Do the “Ruins” as soon as they are available for a lot of speed ups.You use the coin prize from the ruins to buy speedups. I used these to buy around 100 1-hour speed ups.
- Get into a good alliance, if your alliance sucks – find another one. Mine wasn’t that good, but it was good enough.Get spare resources from alliance.
- The last two levels require a lot of wood and steel. Check your bag if you run out.I usually had enough resources in my bag, but when I got to the end, I was lacking wood. Turns out I actually had plenty of resource boxes that I was able to trade for wood. If you run out, make sure you check if you have these.
- Research all available building and resource boosts.
- Make sure to use up your campaign energy using the “Blitz” function. I’ve been doing this when I can’t progress any further. This will get you the components needed to upgrade your heroes.
Obtaining speedups
There are lots of opportunities to obtain speedups in Puzzles & Survival. You want to buy as many as possible and use them to speed up your buildings.
- Hero survival shop (trade coins that you win in the arena)
- Mystery shop (trading resources)
- Ruins shop (using ruins points, must do the ruins to get these, and some days you will suck at that).
- Rare earth shop (only available when you have the pits open, mine for rare earth and swap for 10+ hours of speeds up each day)
- Also the alliance shop and weekly offers.
- And by helping out your alliance and buying speed-ups with the coins you get.
Aside from that, you get speed-ups by:
- Fighting zombies on the world map
- Hunting zombie lairs or joining in with hints from your alliance.
- Using your diamonds when in a pickle.
There are also loads of other events that give rewards. Tap anything with a red dot.

The "I ain't paying for builder armour" tips
The 3-star builder armor drastically reduces the amount of resources you need for every building. However, you can complete the offer without paying. The tips and tricks came from a Redditor called Little-Jellyfish6167. They managed to get to level 17 in 11 days and recommend leveling up the following heroes to help with the increased resource requirement that you will face:
| Name | Star level | Hero Skills available |
|---|---|---|
| Xavis | 2 | Gas Output / Lower Build Food Cost / Lower Build Wood Cost |
| Anahita | 3 | Free Speedup / Build Steel Cost / Build Gas Cost |
In addition to levelling these heroes, you will need to farm. Click the link above to see Jellyfish’s comments about farming other settlements!
