Run a boxing promotion, not just one fighter. Scout and sign talent, build your gym, book the card, and watch every bout play out punch by punch in a tick-by-tick fight engine you can speed up, pause, or skip. Build a name from local club shows to undisputed world title nights. And it's fair by design. The full game is free on save slot one, with no pay-to-win and no energy timers. SCOUT & SIGN Work a single live talent pool and win the deal before a rival gym does. - Browse free agents and prospects in one market: filter by weight class and flip "Prospects only" to dig for raw upside. - Build a contract offer term by term. Set fights, weekly salary, fight purse, and signing bonus, then watch the fighter's signing interest shift as you negotiate. - Reach is earned. You start in your gym's home country and unlock regional, then global, talent as your titles grow. Offers settle on the weekly update, and a rival gym can sign first. BUILD BETTER CAMPS Surround your fighters with the team that turns prospects into champions. - Hire a Head Trainer, Corner Staff, and Conditioning Coach to sharpen your fighters between bouts. - Upgrade five gym facilities. Training Space, Equipment, PR Department, Media Center, and Medical Bay each carry a real effect and a weekly overhead. - Track 18 attributes across Physical, Technical, and Mental, plus lasting career wear (Punch Wear, Vision, Hand Condition) that erodes with damage and can cut a prime short. BOOK THE CARD Make the matches, then live every round of them. - Pick one of your fighters and a curated eligible opponent, then study a full tale of the tape: record, age, reach, stance, and an 18-attribute comparison in bars or radar. - Book it, and the bout lands on the next card. Your matchmaking, your timing. - Watch the fight on a tick-by-tick ring sim with live health and stamina, three-judge scorecards, and round-by-round commentary. - Between rounds, call your fighter to the corner and pick a strategy that changes how they fight the next round. RUN THE BUSINESS A promotion lives or dies on its books. - Manage the money: balance, sponsorships, itemized monthly income and expenses, weekly burn, and cash runway. - Finish a quarter in the red, and the promotion can fold for good. - Work the inbox: fight reports, economy summaries, challenges, sponsorship offers, and mandatory callouts. YEAR BY YEAR Build a legacy that outlasts any single fighter. - Climb toward unified and undisputed world belts across four sanctioning bodies: GBC, UBA, IPF, and PBO. Defend your mandatories or vacate the belt. - Eight annual awards crown the year's best, and retiring greats enter the Hall of Fame once their career resume clears the bar. FAIR BY DESIGN The full game is free. Here's everything about the one optional purchase. - Free to play, with the full game playable on your first save slot. - The Promoter Pass unlocks two more save slots beyond slot one. One-time, no subscription. - No pay-to-win, no energy timers, no account required. Run the local cards. Crown the champions. Build the promotion.

BUILD THE GRID. CHASE THE PERFECT SEASON. Grid Builder is a draft-and-spin game for motorsport fans. Spin the reel to pull a team and a season from the modern era of racing (2000-2025), then bank one component into your garage. Five slots. One mission: assemble a team good enough to win every single race on the calendar. Going unbeaten is the dream. Pulling it off is another story. HOW IT WORKS - Spin to draw a constructor and season at random. - Bank one piece from that team-season into an open slot: Driver 1, Driver 2, Team Principal, Chassis, or Power Unit. - Fill all five slots, then run the season simulation. - Watch it play out race by race. Win them all and you go unbeaten. Drop one and the run is over. REAL DATA, REAL RATINGS Every driver, chassis and power unit is rated from actual season results across 2000-2025 - points share, wins, poles, teammate head-to-head and reliability all feed the numbers. That means the legends really do rate like legends, and the midfield grind really is a grind. No hand-waving, no made-up stats. THREE DIFFICULTIES - ROOKIE: more re-spins, friendlier draws, a kinder win bar. - PRO: a balanced test of your team-building instincts. - LEGEND: scarce re-spins, brutal draws, and a win bar that only a truly stacked grid can clear. RE-SPINS Hate the draw? Burn a re-spin to reject it and try again - but you only get so many, and on Legend they are precious. Knowing when to gamble and when to take the pick is the whole game. SHARE YOUR RUN Every result generates a clean, shareable card with your full five-slot grid, your team rating, and your final tally. Post your unbeaten run and dare your friends to beat it. A FEW THINGS YOU'LL LEARN FAST - A superstar driver can't carry a broken car. - Reliability wins championships - a fast DNF is still a DNF. - The right principal and the right era matter more than you'd think. No accounts. No internet required to play - the entire dataset is bundled in the app. Just spin, build, and find out if you can go flawless. Grid Builder is an independent, unofficial game. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Formula 1, the FIA, or any team or driver. All names are used descriptively to reference historical motorsport results.
