About This Game

Take the money. Or risk one more month.

Run a Ponzi scheme in the 1920s. New investors bring in cash. Their promised returns become your next problem. How far can you grow the lie before you have to leave?

Bigger promises. Bigger bills.

Set the rate, recruit investors, and use your limited actions to keep the scheme alive. A higher promise can bring more money through the door—and leave you with a harder payout to survive. Pick operating methods, manage suspicion, and build a plan around the investors you actually get.

Running away does not stop the payments.

Start your getaway while there is still cash to take. You must keep making payouts until you can escape. Wait for a bigger haul, or leave before one more bill brings everything down?

A new face. A different plan.

Earn notoriety through play and unlock new characters between runs. The Preacher begins with a believer. The Fixer keeps suspicion under control. The Socialite has a wealthy backer. The Ghost gets out faster.
