How to play

Use Go to work on a scheduled working day, between 06:00 and before 22:00. Current rules settle a shift over 60 game minutes; configured career hours describe the schedule, not that settlement duration.

How to start work

  1. Open Jobs and choose a career whose entry requirements you meet.
  2. Check that it is a working day and your character is not travelling, working, jailed or seriously sick.
  3. Use Go to work; the current rules handle commuting. The venue’s leisure opening hours do not define this button’s availability.
  4. Finish the shift, inspect the pay summary, and train the skill required for the next promotion.
