# Getting started

To start your Gemhunters adventure you have 2 options:

1. Begin with our free to play mode, using your initial four free Cubs to start earning shards and loot.
2. Stake your Beramonium Genesis NFTs. **Only staked Beras can start the missions and earn rewards.**

You can stake here:&#x20;
