About the Game

Climb the ladder. Or bet it all on Stonks.

You're a pleb. Fresh out of school, living in your parents' basement, with a laptop and a dream. Land your first job and work your way up the ladder to Chief Technology Officer, one ticket, one outage, and one performance review at a time.

Work the job

Every job plays differently. Answer calls and close tickets against the clock at the help desk. Swap RAM and diagnose beep codes in Desktop Support. Untangle cables, patch servers, and type your way through outages as a sysadmin. Route packets, hunt anomalies in security logs, and plan server racks. Then trade the keyboard for the Team Board, the calendar, and the boardroom as a manager, Director, and CTO.

• More than a dozen job mini-games, with expert versions once you master them
  
• A full in-game computer: email, a web browser, a terminal, a ticket queue, and apps for every job
  
• Earn certifications, ace your reviews, and stay ahead of Chad, your rival

Live your life

Money, energy, hunger, thirst, and stress all count. Pay rent, buy upgrades on Congo, grab free snacks at the office, adopt a dog (and a parrot), pick up hobbies, keep your friends, and don't burn out. Move from the basement to a studio and bigger homes as your career grows.

Or skip it all

Don't want a job? Go all in on Stonks from your parents' basement. Trade stocks and meme coins on margin, follow Brad's calls, borrow from Sharky the loan shark, and see if you can turn a few hundred dollars into a penthouse, or a private island. Or a cardboard box.
