# Tickets

Play arcade games and earn tickets! The higher your score, the better you play, the more tickets you'll earn. Trade in tickets for a Lucky Box to open and win a valuable prize!

{% hint style="info" %}
Earning tickets will always cost 1 [Energy Point/EP](/chaincade/welcome-to-the-retroverse/the-arcade/energy.md). 

Players can continue playing without EP, but will not earn tickets.
