Build your next company from a tiny startup into a billion-dollar tech unicorn. Tech Unicorn is a strategy simulation game about product bets, hiring, fundraising, growth, and survival. Every run asks you to balance cash, runway, team morale, founder energy, product quality, market fit, and investor confidence while unexpected events force hard tradeoffs. What you can do: - Choose a founder archetype, company focus, industry, and challenge setup - Make product, growth, hiring, fundraising, and operations decisions - React to dynamic events that can boost momentum or threaten the company - Unlock achievements, compete on Game Center leaderboards, and build your legacy across multiple runs - Unlock extra founder archetypes, scenarios, industries, themes, and share-card styles through optional in-app purchases Winning takes more than growth at all costs. Push too hard and your founder can burn out. Run out of cash and the company collapses. Find the right balance, hit the big milestones, and reach unicorn status. Play in short sessions or keep a run alive over time with optional reminders.

Running a production line is the easy part. Managing an unpredictable workforce... that's the real challenge! You run a contract packaging plant. The lines, the automation, the capital — all yours to command. But the one input that decides whether you ship or sink is the one you control least: your crew. Co-Pack is a daily-staffing sim about running a real workforce, one shift at a time. Every morning is a decision. At each standup the board wipes clean and you re-staff from whoever actually showed up. A line only produces when Induct, Pack, and Stage are all covered. Fill the slots, hit Start Shift, and watch the cartons roll — or scramble when half your bench no-shows. The cycle you'll spend the game mastering: • A deep bench covers bad mornings — but anyone you don't place goes home unpaid and sours • Push output with overtime and morale drops; buy it back with meals and raises and cash drops • Too lean and one absence stalls a line; too fat and you bleed money and goodwill Build something that lasts. • Sign contracts with real deadlines — beat them or take a reputation hit • Promote leads, convert temps to permanent staff, and upgrade automation • Open new lines for true parallel production • Hire a floor supervisor so shifts keep running while you're away No pressure, no catch. • Free to play • No ads • No in-app purchases • Offline progress — come back to a "while you were away" report Clock in, boss. The floor is yours.
