How to make money
From your first shift to your own business, step by step, with the real numbers from the game.
Play free → Share on WhatsAppStep 1 · Get a job
Open 📱 Vacancies and take a job. Without any studies, the best-paid job is Docker at the port of Cabinda: 9,500 Kb a shift.
The first 2 shifts of the day pay in full; the 3rd pays 85%, the 4th 65%, the 5th 45% and 20% from then on. Work every day rather than all at once.
Once a day, ask your parents for money in 📱 Profile.
Step 2 · Study to earn more
Each study module costs 5,000 Kb × the next level (up to 3 a day) and uses energy. Pricier universities charge more.
With education level 3: Bank clerk, 18,000 Kb a shift. Level 5: Programmer, 30,000 Kb. Level 8: Petroleum engineer, 60,000 Kb.
Education is never lost: every level opens better jobs for good.
Step 3 · Open your first business
A Cantina costs 150,000 Kb + a 25,000 Kb licence. It makes sales every day at 18:00, even when you are not playing.
No money? The bank lends what you are missing for your first business (up to 1,000,000 Kb, after your first day in the game). You pay back the loan + 15%, with no daily interest, from part of what the business takes: Cantina 25%, Salon and Shop 30%, Candongueiros and Nightclub 35%. The rest is yours from day one.
Or pay what is missing with Gold (1 Gold = 100 Kb): the business is all yours, with no debt.
Step 4 · Grow your business
Go into your business and run it: the more you play, the more the till fills up.
Grow from kiosk to shop to plaza, open branches in other neighbourhoods, then bigger businesses: a candongueiro fleet (500,000 Kb) and a nightclub (800,000 Kb).
Keep your profit in the bank: thieves can't steal what is in the bank.
