📺 Rewarded ads in Rocket Crew: how they work

Rocket Crew is free and has no shop: nobody needs to pay or watch ads to reach the Moon. Ads are an optional help which, besides, is how the game pays for itself.

What they give you

On a work that already has a worker you can press Watch an ad and finish. When the ad ends, the work finishes at once and its upgrade is applied as if the time had run out. It gives no coins: it saves you waiting.

The rules

Up to 5 ads a day (the day changes at 00:00 UTC). The button tells you how many you have left.
The work must have a worker and have at least 30 seconds left: it is not offered on almost finished ones.
The ad has to be watched for at least 10 seconds to count. If you close it early nothing happens: the work carries on.
The server decides: it gives a single-use code when the ad starts and only gives the reward if those seconds have passed and the code belongs to that player and that work.
The trip to the Moon cannot be sped up with ads.

Why there is sometimes no ad

The ads are served by Google AdSense, and sometimes there is none available for you at that moment. If there is none, the game tells you and the work carries on.

Your data and the ads

To show ads, Google and its partners may use cookies and identifiers. In the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom we ask you first through Google’s notice, where you can accept, refuse or choose, and change your decision whenever you like. The cookie policy and the privacy policy of the game explain it.

💡 Ads pay off more on long works: an upgrade of several hours saves much more than one of a few minutes. Choose which work you use each of your 5 daily ads on (the rocket).
