Incentives #

The Incentives system in Hiro is a powerful tool that enables you to create a variety of incentives to drive and increase player engagement, retention, and revenue. Incentives can be used to reward players for completing specific tasks, such as logging in daily or completing advanced tutorials, and also to encourage players to spend money in your game.
