Build a tech company from a one-room garage to a global empire — one device at a time.
Silicon is a premium business simulation and tycoon game. You don't just watch numbers tick — you DESIGN the products, BUILD the factory that makes them, and RUN the company that sells them. Found a startup, ship something great, crush your rivals, take it public, and rule the industry.
DESIGN EVERY DEVICE
Customize phones, tablets, laptops, consoles, monitors and AR glasses from the inside out — chip, display, battery, materials, camera array, finish and color — and watch each one render live in a crisp vector preview. Every choice moves your cost, your margin, and how the market reacts. Form matters too: a striking design sells.
BUILD A REAL FACTORY
Factory Mode is a living 3D production line you build yourself. Lay conveyor belts, place and upgrade machines, and wire the floor so it builds faster — each device needs the right machines (a phone wants a screen bonder, a laptop a chassis mill). Decorate with props and painted walls, expand the building, and take Side Order commissions to keep the line busy between launches.
TIME THE MARKET
Consumer taste shifts week by week. Read the trend, price it right, pick the campaign that fits your budget, and find your launch window. The game always tells you WHY a product won or flopped — so every launch teaches you something.
MAKE ENEMIES
Race a dozen fictional rivals up the live industry leaderboard. One becomes your arch-rival — a living nemesis you clash with again and again. When a rival strikes your category, duel their device head-to-head and answer back. Every year the Silicon Awards judge every launch across Device of the Year, Design and Value — sweep the ceremony or build a grudge.
PLAY THE MARKET
Trade rival shares, buy a board seat for insider intel, take a controlling stake for a discounted hostile takeover, or acquire a rival outright to absorb its brand, fans and patents. Then take your own company public and beat Wall Street's quarterly earnings expectations.
GO GLOBAL
License new regions — each with its own taste and market size — then weather regional events: booms to ride, tariffs to answer, and rival surges to defend your standing.
RESEARCH THE FRONTIER
Develop a deep tech tree over time on a live progress ring — queue your next breakthroughs, commit to research doctrines that give your products identity, and chase Eureka flashes of insight for a jackpot.
BUILD A TEAM AND HQ
Hire engineers, designers and marketers — each with a specialty, a trait and a mood that moves their output. Senior staff grow into mentors and masters. Watch your real-time 3D headquarters fill with life from garage to campus.
