The Guildmaster

Fortune favors the bold, Guildmaster!

Enter the world of guild mastership! In Project Guildmaster, you're no hero—you're a boss of them. Every day, you'll send brave (and expensive) adventurers to risk it all, all for the sake of gold, glory, and the chance to be the #1 guild in the capital. But in this job, playing it safe isn't going to get you there. You'll need to know when to Risk it for the Biscuit.

Your Mission

You have 50 days to turn your scrappy guild from an unlicensed nobody into a legendary giant. Manage your budget, hire a team of powerful heroes, and climb the competitive guild leaderboards to reach the envied #1 spot. Will you go legendary before time runs out?

Key Features

Strategic Guild Management: Hire adventurers, set their initial rates, and dispatch them on quests!

High-Stakes Permadeath: Your adventurers can die in quests! The tougher the adventurer, the better chance they have to survive, but nobody is ever truly safe.

The "Double Down" Choice: After a good adventure, do you take your payoff and go home or double down and risk putting your tired adventurers into the jaws of additional danger for the promise of a legendary reward?

The "Underdog Bonus": Pull off an impossible victory and receive huge bonuses on your payoffs. The greater the risk, the greater the reward!
