Three ways into the game, open every day. They all earn greens, and you can go through all three.

A few seconds to learn, a whole day to beat your score. Each game earns up to 5 greens.

WalkYour steps

Your steps count too.

Your phone counts your steps: 1,000 steps make 1 green, up to 10,000 steps a day. And every day, a new harvest appears on the map around you: up to 6 items to pick up. Your position is never shown to anyone, nor kept.

PostThe daily contest

Your idea. AI makes the image.

A new theme every day. Everyone votes once a day and earns 1 green. With a Pass, you post your own image for 3 greens, and the most-loved image of the day wins greens.

The reef

Your sea creature, and 10 species to unlock.

Every green you earn also gives your creature a drop of clean water, and every 100 drops, one more bottle leaves the ocean. Play to level up: a new species opens every 10 levels, with 50 slots to collect.

The impact

100 greens. One bottle funded.

Questions about The Green.

Is The Green really free?

Yes. Every game, the vote, the harvest and the monthly draw are free, and so is your YLC account. The Pass is optional.

How are the bottles funded?

Through our impact partner Greenspark, which works with Plastic Bank on the ground: your greens and the Passes fund the bottles, which YLC buys from Greenspark in batches.

Does the Pass improve my chances in the draw?

No. Paying changes what you receive, never your chances: tickets are capped at 5 a month, the same for everyone.

Which phones can I play on?

On Android with the Google Play app. On iPhone and computer, in your browser, while the App Store version is on its way. It's the same YLC account everywhere.

What are the gift cards?

YLC gift cards: months of Pass 12, some with extra AI credits, activated on your own YLC account. The first official draw takes place on December 1, 2026.

One minute today. One bottle less in the ocean.

Free, in your browser or on Android, with the same YLC account as every app.
