Game Center
The Game Center is a place where you can play for Game Chips, which may be exchanged for various prizes. It is owned and run by Mewton M. Meowth the Third.
How to access
You can access the Game Center by hovering over the "Town" tab, located at the top of every page.
Game Chips
The Game Center uses a special currency, the Game Chips. You can purchase Game Chips with Pokédollars, provided you have less than 1,000 Game Chips in hand. This is made to prevent players to buy Game Center rewards just with Pokédollars.
You can see your current Game Chips balance at the left bottom in the Game Center page.
Vouchers
Egg vouchers can be redeemed in the Game Center and they are a one-time-use item only. Vouchers do not expire and can be redeemed at any time. You must have an empty party space open before redeeming the voucher. All Pokémon redeemed from a voucher that are sent to your party will be in their egg form. Vouchers are also items that are tradable.
Currently the available vouchers are: Retro Kanto Starters, Retro Mew, Lugia, Lake Trio, and Magearna Vouchers.
Games
Coin Flip
You will have to pick between the two sides of the coin, Heads
or Tails, and place a bet. Once it is done, flip the coin. If you get the side you picked, your bet will be multiplied by two. If you don't, then you will lose it.
The only influence in this game is luck, so you might win or lose multiple times in a row.
Higher or lower
First, you will have to set a bet. It will be multiplied by an increasing factor with every correct guess.

You will need to win at least 6 rounds to start receiving some reward [10% of the amount you bet].

Treasure Hunt
A new game "Treasure Hunt" was introduced for Pokeheroes' Asian Week celebration and has become a permanent game ever since. The game costs 500 GC to play. There is a cooldown of ten minutes between each round, where you have to pay 500 Game Chips again. If you are too impatient to wait, however, you can also skip the waiting time by paying a few nuggets as a fee instead.
The concept of this game is that nine chests are displayed and you guess which one contains treasure in it. You have a 1 in 9 chance to win a prize. The possible prizes can be found in the table below.
Prizes | Probability |
Game Chips | 50% |
Gems | 25% |
Evo. Stones | 15% |
Ultraball | 2.5% |
Vitamin | 2% |
Rare Candy | 0.5% |
Precious treasures | 5% |

Hangman
Hangman is a simple word guessing game. A random word is selected and then "dashes" like so "_ _ _ _" are shown on the screen to represent the word. Then on the alphabet below, simply press a letter you think the word contains. If you have guessed correctly, the letter will replace a dash. If you have guessed incorrectly, a part of a stick figure on gallows will be drawn. If you continue to guess incorrect letters the drawing of the stick figure will become more complete hence the name "hangman". You have 6 lives in total and a life will be taken away if your guess is wrong.
All words are pokemon or pokeheroes related. You can also suggest more words to be added to the data base here. The game chips awarded for a correct word varies based on the difficulty of the word as well as the number of solved hangman in a row.
Concentration
In this game you get a bunch of cards you have to flip around by clicking on them and find the two Pokémon matches. If you find them, they will disappear, if not, they will flip back and you can choose two cards again.
The game continues till you found all matching cards and clear the game table.
After every cleared table you win some Game Chips - the amount is based on the choosen difficulty mode and on how many time you fliped the cards to end the game.
You will also be able to win a Daily Prize which is a Retro Egg. The Retro Egg will change every day and the probability of winning one is fairly low, but the chance is increased the better you perform at the game. You can only win one retro egg per day.
Note: To receive the Retro Egg you need a free spot in your party! If your party is full you won't receive the egg but you will be able to win it again later if you are lucky.
