The Daily Challenge
Every day, everyone gets the same map. You have 30 real minutes to build the most valuable company you can. When time runs out, your net worth is your score, and it goes onto the daily leaderboard next to other players' nicknames and flags.
- You get one attempt per day. A new map arrives at midnight Central European Time.
- The clock keeps running if you pause, so plan while you build.
- You can finish early from the pause menu if you are happy with your score.
- The challenge needs an internet connection and a nickname.
Challenge tips
- Spend the first two minutes looking at the map. Find the two biggest towns that are reasonably far apart.
- Put your early money into vehicles, not decoration. Net worth counts vehicles at their current value.
- Buses on a long line pay back fastest. Add a second and third bus as soon as passengers pile up.
- Do not leave cash idle in the last minutes, but do not take loans you cannot cover either. Debt is subtracted from net worth.
Other leaderboards
Alongside the Daily Challenge there are two more boards. Growth ranks how much net worth you gained today in your normal game. All-Time ranks the highest company value anyone has ever reached.
Daily login rewards
Open the game on consecutive days and claim a cash reward from the Daily Rewards window. The rewards climb through a seven-day cycle. Day 3 also gives a Heritage Point, and day 7 gives two. Missing a day resets the streak.
If you were away for more than a quarter of an hour, your network keeps working in the meantime. When you return you can collect part of what it would have earned, for up to 10 hours away.
Daily tasks and weekly goals
Each day brings three tasks, such as "Deliver 320 units of freight" or "Grow your population by 50". Each pays cash and one Heritage Point, and finishing all three gives a bonus point. Two weekly goals are larger and pay three Heritage Points each. Tasks scale with your company level, so they stay achievable.
Heritage Points and landmarks
Heritage Points unlock the million-dollar landmarks in the Attractions shop. You earn them from tasks, weekly goals, login streaks, level-ups, orders and big achievements. One landmark is featured each day at 40% off.
Streak monuments
Six landmarks cannot be bought. They are given to you for login streaks, and the first copy of each is free to build:
| Streak | Monument |
|---|---|
| 3 days | Iron Lattice Tower |
| 7 days | Harbour Sails Pavilion |
| 14 days | Crystal Palace |
| 30 days | Dragon Pagoda Palace |
| 60 days | Aurora Dome |
| 100 days | Monument of Progress |
The Daily Challenge resets at midnight CET. Play today's map on a laptop or PC.
