Tap Age to live one month at a time and see what happens. NO ADS. EVER. Ambition 2.0 has no ads. Play as long as you want with no breaks. BUILD A CAREER Go to school, pass exams, and get into college. Get a job and work your way to the top. Become a famous actor, a pro football player, or a doctor. START A BUSINESS Run a factory, a farm, a shop, or a crypto mine. Hire staff, sign contracts, and take your company public on the stock market. MAKE MONEY WORK Buy stocks and crypto. Buy houses and rent them out. Take a loan from the bank, but pay it back on time. GO INTO POLITICS Run for office, win elections, and become president. Make deals with other countries, or go to war. LIVE ON THE WRONG SIDE Commit crimes, build a mafia crew, and wash your dirty money. If you get caught, survive prison, join a gang, or try to escape. LOVE AND FAMILY Date, get married, and have kids. When you die, choose one of your children and keep playing as them. They get what you leave behind, and they pay what you owe. AND MUCH MORE Hobbies, sports, social media fame, cars, the lottery, health, looks, and hundreds of random events. VIP (OPTIONAL) VIP gives a monthly cash bonus, faster progress, and VIP-only perks.
