The information below is all you need to know to succeed in all of the games, and details your rewards for succeeding. |  |
Prize List
The prizes for all of the games will be a specific amount of GP or an item. Items are pretty straightforward, but you're probably wondering what this GP is for. Basically, GP is a currency that can only be used in the Gold Saucer. You can exchange your GP for items.
