Simple Instructions (scroll down for in depth instructions): The game starts with house placement. Pick anywhere. After that, you have to keep up appearances at events across the country. Train to keep your performance up. Eating is a last resort to keep energy up. Events occur about halfway through every Saturday. Skip only skips to the next Saturday, and is only possible if already at the event. Missing an event or losing all your energy is an automatic fail. In Depth Instructions: The game starts with house placement. Choose anywhere, either where you live in real life, near the center and DEN/DFW airports for an easy game, or perhaps somewhere on the coast for a more challenging game. After that, you have to keep up appearances at events across the country. The events are the top 40 cities by population in the contiguous US with 33 other well known cities. Train to keep your performance up, as performance influences your paycheck. Balance it with your energy, as high energy equals better training. Eating is a last resort, as it costs money and some performance for small amounts of energy. Events occur about halfway through every Saturday. It is important to show-up. Ideally, you'll want to calculate how long you will need to travel to the event and stay at your home until then due to quicker energy regeneration. Planes are good if you have the cash, just make sure the ticket price for the week is good. The skip button is for when you get bored. It only skips to the next Saturday, and is only possible if already at the event. There is no real objective besides to get your money and performance as high as possible. Missing an event or losing all your energy is an automatic fail. It is important to keep an eye on what is going on at all times.
I had this idea spontaneously and sure, it's not the most flashy game in the world but it's definitely a game. I'm considering adding achievements for more replay value. 11.01.2026: Base game with 69 total cities. 13.01.2026: Added the cities of Aurora, Tacoma, Spokane, San Bernardino, Grand Rapids, and Providence to the game. 75 total cities now.
