FlipAPenny
Start with a single penny and flip your way to a billion through trades, negotiations, and a little luck.
FlipAPenny is a free iOS simulation game where you start with a single penny and try to flip your way to a billion-dollar empire. Every NPC, item, trade, scam, lawsuit, and tax bill plays out across six game phases — from scavenging the streets to running a trust at Tycoon level. Available in English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian on the App Store.
From your first $0.01 to a billion-dollar net worth. Each phase unlocks new items, mechanics, and risks.
Buy similar items to assemble collections that boost the value of every piece. Eight rare coins in a set are worth more than eight loose coins.
Income properties generate passive cash through service requests; rental buildings collect rent. Stack them or specialize.
Scammers impersonate the IRS, your bank, real estate developers, even friends. NPC trust ratings help. Common sense helps more.
Wait too long and the government seizes your bank account. Insurance lapses bite during disasters. Your mailbox is the heartbeat of the game.
Once you cross multi-millions, exclusive invitations start arriving. Some are real opportunities. Some are not.
Cross $50M and a slick advisor named Marcus DeVance shows up offering “bulletproof” asset protection through a revocable trust. The setup walks you through a real-world workflow — including a trip to irs.gov for an EIN. Marcus is partly right. He's also leaving things out. New in v2.0.
Yes. Free to download, no ads, no required purchases. Optional cosmetic in-app items only.
iPhone and iPad on iOS. No Android version yet.
Most players take 30 to 80 hours of active play across multiple sessions. There's no rush — many replay phases for the storyline.
Inspired by real concepts (EIN applications, asset protection structures, IRS doctrines). The game is fiction. Don't take it as legal, financial, or tax advice.
Yes. Scams, lawsuits, tax seizures, disasters, and bad trades all hurt. Bank loans can help, but the interest adds up fast.
An async marketplace is coming — real player listings syncing every few minutes. No live PvP.
FlipAPenny is a living project. New phases, items, and storylines ship every few weeks based on what players ask for. Got an idea for a plot twist, a scam variant, or a new mechanic? Drop us a line.
