Read full description

RealmForge is a cooperative idle tycoon. Every player forges from the same shared Realm, and every Artifact you forge earns Essence for you every second, even while the app is closed. ONE REALM, BUILT TOGETHER Each Realm holds a limited number of Artifacts, and every player forges from that same pool. When the community has forged them all, the Realm is complete and the next one opens for everyone. You are building the world alongside every other player and watching it fill in real time. A TRUE IDLE GAME Your Artifacts keep earning the entire time you are away. Come back and collect everything that built up. The more Artifacts you own, and the rarer they are, the faster you earn. HOW IT WORKS 1. Earn Forge Sparks by playing arcade games, finishing daily goals, spinning the wheel, watching an optional ad, or completing an offer or survey. 2. Spend Sparks to forge an Artifact and roll for rarity: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic or Legendary. 3. Every Artifact you own earns Essence automatically, every second. 4. Level up your Artifacts, then rebirth for a permanent multiplier and climb faster than before. COLLECT, LEVEL UP, REBIRTH • Holographic Artifact cards, each stamped with its Realm, its number and its rarity. • Rarer Artifacts earn dramatically faster. • Rebirth for a permanent boost and a prestige emblem that is yours alone. THE ARCADE • Tahjongy, a tile-matching puzzle. • FIRSTLIGHT Tycoon. • Codebreaker. • Sparkle, a daily word game. • New arcade games keep arriving. ALWAYS SOMETHING TO DO • Daily goals and dozens of achievements. • Login streaks with milestone rewards. • Global leaderboards for Artifacts, rarity, streaks and rebirths. • Live events with boosted earnings. • A free-entry weekly prize drawing. LOYALTY REWARDS In the United States, the Essence you build up can be redeemed for rewards such as gift cards, as a loyalty reward for playing. It is based on what you have built over time, not on chance, and no purchase is ever required to earn or redeem it. SPARK PACKS Optional Spark packs are available if you would rather skip the wait. Every Spark in the game can also be earned free, and buying Sparks never changes your odds of forging any rarity. Forge, idle, and build the Realm together. --- RealmForge is free to play, supported by ads, and offers optional in-app purchases. Players must be 18 or older, or the age of majority where they live. Essence loyalty reward redemption is available eligible users in the United States and United Kingdom. Players in other countries can earn and collect Essence, but cannot redeem it for loyalty rewards at this time. The Weekly Prize Drawing is open to eligible users in most countries; excluded countries are listed in the Official Rules. Canadian winners must correctly answer a skill-testing question. No purchase is ever required to earn or redeem Essence or to enter the Weekly Prize Drawing, and a purchase will not increase your odds of winning any prize or of forging any rarity. Void where prohibited. Full rules: realmforgeapp.com/sweepstakes.html
