โ† Play Buy Your Friends

Current version 1.0.9

Updates

Every release of Buy Your Friends ships with patch notes. These are the same announcements players see on the News tab inside the game.

๐ŸŽƒ The Halloween event is live

Tap ENTER THE EVENT below (or the floating pumpkin) to enter the cursed Halloween economy. It runs until Nov 1. Fresh board: every friend starts at 5 Treats and everyone starts with 30.

Everyone gets a bot: the first time you open the event, the Halloween Bot goes into your inventory (STORAGE โ†’ Bots). It makes your Reply Guys pay ร—4 in the main game, for good.

Avatar frames are awarded when the event ends, by final net worth (Treats plus the asking price of every friend you own): Gold for the top 10, Silver for the top 30, Bronze for everyone who joined.

Update 1.0.9: Major Restructuring and the LLC HQ Fund

MAJOR RESTRUCTURING. Spend LLC cash to start over with nothing: your points, LLC cash, positions and seats reset, and every friend you own goes back on the market at their current level and price. Your employee badges, bots and cosmetics stay. Each restructuring doubles your LLC cash for good. The first costs $10M of LLC cash, the next $100M, then $1B, and ten times more each time after.

LLC HQ FUND. A $10B LLC cash milestone for the long game. Future HQ boosters will live there.

EMPLOYEE BOOSTS. Employees raise point pay up to ร—4. LLC cash gets +10% per badge tier from your ten strongest badges (Bronze 1 up to Diamond 4), so up to +400%.

FRIENDS ON THE MARKET. A friend nobody owns now costs their level's price to buy or hire, not 100. New contract employees still start at L1 for 100.

AVATAR FRAMES. Pick which frame to wear in STORAGE โ†’ Avatar Frames, or choose None.

Update 1.0.7: Promotions, Survived Midnight, player profiles

PROMOTIONS. Hire a friend you already have a badge for and you promote them instead: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond. It costs the hire price plus LLC cash that burns for good ($10K Silver, $50K Gold, $250K Diamond). Each tier adds to point pay (Bronze +1, Silver +2, Gold +3, Diamond +4) and adds 10% LLC cash per tier level. Promoted badges get a burned metal finish. Diamond is the top.

SURVIVED MIDNIGHT. A new avatar frame for everyone who made it through the Chinese market crash of 10/07/2026. Redeem code CHINESEMARKETCRASH in settings. Frames now show around your avatar everywhere.

PLAYER PROFILES. Tap any player's icon to see their LLC and employees, their inventory, and the friends you can snipe off them.

FAIRER HIRES. A hire pays the friend's owner 25% of the price, you included when it's your own L29. The other 75% leaves the game.

SNIPE GUARD. Accounts that have played from the same connection can only move a friend between them once a day, in the main game and the Halloween event.

ALSO. Employee numbers count inside each LLC, the snipe bell shows who sniped you, long pop-ups scroll on phones, the scrolled header shows your LLC cash, and the strip under the header teaches the basics.

Update 1.0.6: Hired, your LLC, new positions, dark mode

HIRED. Level 30 friends retire from the grind. When a friend hits L29 you can't snipe or pump them anymore; you hire them for their asking price and give them a position. They get an employee badge with their photo and go back on the market as a contract employee at L1. Every hire raises point pay for good: ร—2 for the first, then another ร—1 each. LLC cash uses a separate boost: +10% per employee level, added rather than compounded.

YOUR LLC. Your first hire founds your company: name it and pick a logo (cows, chickens, smileys, brands and more). It lives at the top of your inventory, and you can rename it anytime.

NEW POSITIONS. Creator Revenue (5M), Subscribers (100M) and Affiliate Marketers (2.5B). They pay points plus LLC cash for every seated friend, and you upgrade them with LLC cash instead of points.

RENAMED POSITIONS. Quote desk is now Quote Tweeters, Newsletter is Growth Hackers, Paid influencer is Algorithm Gurus, Creator revenue is Engagement Farmers, and Growth crew is Ragebaiters. Your levels and seated friends didn't move.

DARK MODE and NOT GREG MODE. Two switches in settings (the gear in your points box). Dark mode turns the whole board dark. Not Greg mode drops the tabs and puts everything on one screen like the original board, with this news folded up on top.

ALSO. Your points box shows who owns you, and the share button posts a picture of it to X.

The board has a new look

Buy Your Friends got a fresh coat of paint. Your friends, positions and points are exactly where you left them.
