Idle Founder: Tap Tycoon

Build a business empire from absolutely nothing. Pick your hustle — lemonade stand, coffee shop, chai stall, boba brand, or AI startup — and tap your way from a folding table to a global megacorp. 🎯 5 BUSINESSES, ONE LOOP Each business has its own stage progression, upgrades, and chaos events. Master one, then unlock the next. Switch anytime — your prestige carries over. ⚡ TAP, EARN, REPEAT Every tap is coins. Every coin is an upgrade. Every upgrade is passive income while you sleep. Then you exit, pocket the multiplier, and start over bigger. 📰 EVENTS PULLED FROM TODAY'S HEADLINES A new wave of chaos events shows up every day, generated fresh by AI: viral trends, market crashes, celebrity shoutouts, IPO buzz. The game reads the news so you don't have to. ⚔️ FRIEND LEADERBOARD Add up to 5 friends with a code. Watch their cash counter tick live. Push notifications when they overtake you. Crown the daily winner. 🔥 DAILY STREAK Show up every day. Day 7 = permanent +5% income. Day 14 = +10%. Day 30 = an exclusive founder frame nobody else can earn. Miss a day? Watch one ad to restore your streak. 🚀 VIRAL BURSTS Random 50× income surges that turn into "save the burst" mini-events. Tap fast, brag harder. 📈 EXIT FOR THE PRESTIGE Reach the top stage of your business and exit for a permanent 2× multiplier. Each exit unlocks the next business.
