Play, Pause, Win. Sweepstakes

Finding just five or ten minutes for yourself in the middle of a packed schedule or a noisy day can feel like a luxury. But taking even a short pause—especially when it's just for you—can help you reset, recharge, and feel more grounded.

That's what Play, Pause, Win. is all about: encouraging you to take a small break from the world and do something that brings you a bit of joy, focus, or fun.

Starting May 15, 2025, when you visit Arkadium, you'll be greeted with a simple, uplifting prompt—think of it as a gentle nudge to carve out a little space for you. The message will appear in a pop-up like a digital scratch card. Drag your finger or mouse on the image to "scratch" and reveal your daily challenge.

Some days, it might be a reminder to grab your favorite snack before you play. Other days, it could be an invitation to play like time doesn't exist. Think of it as a nudge to carve out a little space for you.

Either way, each message is designed to make your time here feel more like a ritual than a routine.

We believe that "me time" should feel both meaningful and rewarding, which is why there's a little extra motivation built in.

Between May 15 and May 29, 2025, every day you sign in and play a game in our Word Games category, you'll automatically earn an entry into the Play, Pause, Win. Sweepstakes. Receive one entry per day, for a total of fourteen entries, if you play every day of the sweepstakes.

One lucky player will win $500 just for showing up and enjoying a few mindful minutes of play every day—a prize you can use toward whatever self-care means to you. Whether that's a trip to the hair salon, a day on the golf course, a stack of new books, or anything else that brings you joy, the choice is entirely yours!
