We’re very glad you’re here. Officially supported by Sumo Group, Just About Critter Café (JACR) is the place to discuss and share everything about the cosiest new game on Gold Leaf Isle - your café away from your café.

More specifically, this is your Start Page: a quick guide to how Just About works and how to get the most from your new digital home.

Rewards 🪙

These are challenges with real-money prizes (here's an example). They may ask you to create or share something your community will enjoy, like showing us around your café, or to accomplish something, like solving a portal puzzle in record time.

We’ve got a full breakdown of how rewards work, but in brief:

• Check a reward post for a full breakdown, including the all-important prizes.

• Prepare your submission and when it’s ready, click ‘Submit to this reward’. The ‘reply’ button isn’t for submissions, only for ordinary comments on the thread!

• In a minority of rewards, submissions are judged all at once after a deadline, but for most, submissions are judged on a regular, rolling basis; if your submission fits the criteria and is of sufficient quality (we reserve the right to reject low-effort, low-value, or bad-faith entries), then it won’t be long before it’s accepted! 

• The prize will be paid into your platform wallet. To receive your earnings from Just About, they must exceed our $25 payout threshold, and - because we need a place to send them - you need to link a PayPal account to your profile. Here’s how to do that. Support for other payment providers is planned for the future! Payouts happen automatically once per month.

You can check all live rewards across the platform or on Just About Critter Café from their respective nav bars.

How to connect social accounts 🤝

You can connect a range of social accounts to your Just About profile and we invite you to post content you’ve made on other platforms - in fact, it’s required to submit to certain rewards, as it helps us to verify ownership. Here’s a full explainer on how to do so, but in brief:

• Click your Just About profile avatar in the top-right of the screen

• Select ‘Linked accounts’ in the drop-down that appears

• Click the ‘Connect’ button under each platform.

Introduce yourself to your new community 👋
