Lantern Lab: sites lighting up right now
Every site starts here as an experiment. I play it for real, then judge it on one thing: does the withdrawal land? Paid sites get lit and join the main list; the rest go to Lanterns out.
New sites I'm trying before they earn a spot on the main list. These are not recommendations yet. A site moves up once I've been paid and posted proof, and gets marked dropped if it doesn't pay.
🏮 Lighting up = playing, no withdrawal yet · 🟢 Lit = paid me, moving to the main list soon · 🔴 Lantern out = didn't pay or wasn't worth it
Subterra
🏮 Lighting upA browser mining game: dig ore in a shared mine that resets every 20 minutes, forge it into miners, and pool them to earn real crypto. Free SUBT from a faucet, mini-games, ads and quests.
- Cost
- Free
- Cash out
- FaucetPay from about $0.02, or straight to your wallet from $1 (2% fee)
- Referrals
- +100 SUBT per new miner, 10% of mini-game earnings, 2% of pool yield
What I'm watching: Slow going so far: one starter miner barely registers in the pools, so the early game is about claiming, digging and forging. Oct 29: the Subterra team confirmed my tracking link works. My first withdrawal to FaucetPay is next; payout proof goes here once it arrives.

Pollo Planet
🏮 Lighting upRaise hens, collect eggs and sell chicks for sats. Your starter hens hatch a new chick every 30 seconds.
- Cost
- Purchase required: withdrawals unlock after a one-time purchase from $1
- Cash out
- Sats to FaucetPay, once a day, 500 sat minimum
- Stage
- Still in beta
What I'm watching: Oct 2026: the sats you get for selling chicks were cut, so reaching the 500-sat payout takes much longer. My vault is at 244 of 500 sats (Oct 28), so no withdrawal yet. It's a grind.
OreSpark
🏮 Lighting upAn idle mining game: earn Ore from PTC ads, shortlinks, offers and surveys, hire goblin miners that keep producing Ore while you're away, and withdraw your Ore to FaucetPay. The mining is a game mechanic; your device doesn't mine anything.
- Cost
- Free to earn and withdraw. Buying Gold for miners is optional
- Cash out
- Ore to FaucetPay. Minimums and fees are shown before you confirm
- Extras
- Mine Visits, Deep Dig, Weekly Bonus and a free daily Ore Crate
What I'm watching: New on Oct 29. Pages are slow to respond for me, so it still needs optimizing. No withdrawal yet.

MonsterFaucet
🏮 Lighting upA monster-fighting faucet RPG: earn Energy from the faucet, PTC ads, shortlinks and offers, hit the arena monster for MONS, open loot chests and withdraw to FaucetPay.
- Cost
- Free. Diamonds and hired hunters are optional
- Cash out
- MONS to FaucetPay in USDT, LTC, DOGE, TRX, TON, PEPE, SOL, XRP, ADA or FEY
- Limits
- Up to 2 withdrawals a day, 3 hours apart
- Login
- Your FaucetPay email, no password
What I'm watching: New on Oct 29. Slow response times for me, so it still needs optimizing. No withdrawal yet.
The Crypto Taxi
🏮 Lighting upA browser taxi game: start with a free 1800s horse-drawn cab, make up to 10 trips a day that pay in USDT, and swap USDT for in-game Cash to buy newer taxis. You can also rent taxi shifts to and from other players.
- Cost
- Free taxi when you sign up. Newer taxis are optional and bought with USDT
- Cash out
- USDT to your own wallet (BEP20 or Solana), 10 USDT minimum, each request reviewed by hand. No FaucetPay
- Free taxi
- Hackney Plaza 1800: 0.01–0.02 USDT a trip by the site's own rates, never breaks down. Other taxis last 500 trips
What I'm watching: New on Oct 31. On the free taxi, reaching the 10 USDT minimum takes a long time, and withdrawals are checked by hand, so the first payout is what matters. I'm playing the free taxi only.

I never test sites that ask for your seed phrase or wallet keys.
