How to play Starbucks Summer Game 2023

As mentioned earlier, the rules for participating in the Starbucks Summer Games 2023 are quite simple. You first have to earn the gameplay chances and then use them to play the Summer Game. Fans registering for the promotional event on the website (starbuckssummergame.com) will receive one free gameplay as their first reward. After that, you can earn gameplay chances by purchasing any qualified Starbucks items with your Rewards account.

You can also get gameplay chances without spending a single dollar. To get free gameplay chances every day, fans can head to the website and select the option - ‘to enter without making a purchase, click here’. Once registered, you will get at least two free gameplays every day until June 18. But to earn even more chances you can only rely on the purchase option.

Once you have received your gameplay chances, you can begin playing through five chapters of the game, which include up to 20 levels. Clearing the gameboard within the allotted number of moves allows you to advance to the next level, thus increasing the chances of winning great rewards.
