Current version 1.0.11
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.
🎰 The Feast Pot and Kitchen Trials
THE FEAST POT. Every 8 hours (7 AM, 3 PM and 11 PM Central), 20% of every kitchen's Pie goes into the pot. Each round has one mini game, and you get ONE try at it, whenever you want during the round. When the round ends, the top 5 scores split the pot: 40%, 25%, 15%, 12% and 8%. Winnings count as Pie cooked, so one great run can jump you up the Top Producer board. The first pot opens today at 7 AM Central.
FIVE GAMES, ROTATING. Angry Turkeys (fling turkeys at the pilgrims' huts and hay towers), Turkey Hunt (shoot the turkeys flying over the field), Plate Stack (stack the plates without toppling them), Flappy Turkey (flap through the corn) and Feast Crush Saga (match 3, 20 moves).
KITCHEN TRIALS. Practice any game for free, as often as you like. Each game has 4 milestone scores, and the first time you hit one you go up a level as a friend, so you cook more in every kitchen you're in. Placing top 5 in a Feast Pot is +1 level too. Skill levels you up, no matter when you joined.
FAIR PLAY. Your score is checked by the game server, which replays your moves, so it can't be faked.
🦃 The Great Feast is open
Halloween's over, Thanksgiving's cooking. Tap JOIN THE GREAT FEAST below (or the floating turkey). It runs until Dec 1. Everyone starts with 30 Pie and every friend starts at 5.
This one's co-op. Nobody can be bought out of reach: any number of players can hire the same friend. Every hire levels them up for everyone who has them, and the next hire costs double.
Friends get a 10% cut of everything they cook in every kitchen they work in, paid on top. The first hire rolls their team for good: Turkey, Pilgrim or Harvest. The first 5 people to hire someone are Founding Fans and get +20% from them.
Name a Plus-One. When they name you back, you both cook +25%.
PRIZES. When the Feast ends, Top Producers (most Pie cooked) earn a turkey-head pilgrim avatar pack to wear over your profile picture, plus Thanksgiving clothes for your LLC paperdoll. Three tiers, like Halloween: Gold for the top 10, Silver for the top 30, Bronze for everyone who joined. The higher you place, the better the rewards.
Everyone who joins gets the Turkey Day Bot (STORAGE → Bots): your LLC cash pays +10% in the main game, for good.
🎃 Halloween results: the frames are in
The Cursed Market is closed and the board is final. 38 players braved it. Frames go by final net worth (Treats plus the asking price of every friend you own), and yours lands in STORAGE → Avatar Frames the next time you open the game.

Congrats to @cedes0512 for taking the crown, and thanks to everyone who haunted the market. Now go eat: the Great Feast is open.
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 ×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 → 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: ×2 for the first, then another ×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 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 → Bots). It makes your Reply Guys pay ×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.
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.
