Playing the game
Is HustleTycoon free?
Yes. You can play the entire game for free, with no account required. Capital Coins can be bought to support the game, but they're optional.
Do I need an account?
No — you can play right away. Signing in with Google is optional and unlocks the social features (leaderboards, daily prizes, world chat) and cloud save that syncs your progress across devices.
How is my progress saved?
Your game saves automatically to your device. If you sign in, it also saves to the cloud, so opening the game on another device continues the same game. Clearing your browser data will erase a device-only save — sign in to keep it safe.
Can I play on my phone and computer?
Yes. Sign in with the same Google account on each and your progress follows you. You can also install HustleTycoon to your home screen as an app (it's a Progressive Web App) and play offline.
Coins & purchases
What are Capital Coins?
Capital Coins are the premium currency. You earn them through daily play (login rewards, missions, contracts, daily prizes) and can also buy them. Spend them on the Ascension tree, coin boosts, and cosmetic themes.
Is HustleTycoon pay-to-win?
The whole game is beatable for free — coins mainly speed things up and unlock cosmetics. Buying coins can accelerate progress, but everything is earnable through play.
Can I get a refund on coins?
Coins are digital goods delivered instantly, so purchases are final and non-refundable except where required by law. See the Terms of Service for details.
Features
What is the Ascension tree?
Ascension is an end-game upgrade web that unlocks after 5 prestiges. You spend Capital Coins on permanent nodes — income multipliers, keystones, and synergies — that carry through every future run. It's a long-term goal for veteran players.
How do leaderboards and daily prizes work?
Sign in and you compete on global leaderboards across categories like cash earned today, biggest empire, and prestiges. Each day the top earners win Capital Coins and an exclusive 24-hour cosmetic theme.
How do I reset my game?
There's no full-wipe button by design — instead you "prestige" (sell your portfolio) for permanent Equity Points that make each new run faster. See the Game Manual for how prestige works.
