What kind of a game is Billions Quest?** Billions Quest is a dynamic **mobile strategy board game** where players build their empire by acquiring asset tiles representing real global companies from Apple and Tesla to McDonald's and Bitcoin. The in-game value of each asset fluctuates daily based on actual stock market data. It's a fun fusion of board games, investing, and strategy, no financial knowledge needed, just your instincts and some clever tactics.\ \ **Q. Is this free to play?** Yes! Billions Quest is completely free to play. Players can sign up, explore the gameplay, and start building their empire without spending a dime. For those who want to accelerate progress or customize their experience, optional in-game purchases (Diamonds) are available—but they’re not required to enjoy or win the game or even win the weekly quests **Q. What is the objective of the game? How does one win?** The goal of Billions Quest is to finish each weekly quest with the highest networth. Your networth is calculated based on your Billions Quest Cash (BQ Cash) and the current market value of the assets you’ve acquired during the week. Each quest lasts for 7 days and then resets such that everyone has a fresh start to a new quest with the same starting cash, making every quest a level playing field.\ \ Winning quests adds to your lifetime networth, which unlocks premium features and advantages in future games. At the end of each quest, top players on the leaderboard win exciting rewards. **Q: What is the District Quiz?** Each district in Billions Quest has an AI-powered quiz zone with five knowledge levels: Novice, Apprentice, Expert, Master, and Legend. Answer 10 questions per level about the real-world companies in that district. Pass to earn Diamonds and unlock the next level. Questions are constantly refreshed, so there's always a fresh challenge waiting. **Q: What rewards will I get for winning?** In Billions Quest, you earn by climbing the weekly leaderboard. The player with the highest net worth wins the weekly quest. \ \ **Networth = Cash + Market Value of Assets - Outstanding Loan** \ \ Top Quest performers earn **Diamonds,** the in-game premium currency used to unlock boosters, spin multipliers, asset upgrades, and exclusive perks.\ \ \&#xNAN;***Pro Tip:*** You can also earn Diamonds by hitting lifetime networth milestones. Diamonds can be used to unlock special tiles, power-ups, and cosmetics to enhance your gameplay **Q: Give me some examples of what special perks can Diamonds unlock?** *Diamonds are your secret weapon in Billions Quest! You can use them to unlock powerful boosters like:* * **Spin Boosters** – Multiply the value of your dice roll to outpace your rivals and complete the circuit to win a circuit completion bonus * **Rent Shields** – Protection from paying rent when you land on an opponent's asset tile * **Rent Boosters** – Players who land on your assets will have to pay double the rent for a few rounds * **Upgrade Assets** – Upgrade your assets to Unicorn, Hectacorn or Decacorn and multiply the rental yield from them * **Hostile Takeover -** Acquire an opponent's asset without their consent by using this tactical action, and start earning yield from it *These boosters can give you the edge you need to climb the leaderboard and win the weekly quest.* **Q: How does the value of each asset change daily? What is this based on?** The change in price of each asset tile is linked to the change in the real-world stock price of that asset. For example, If TESLA shares went down by 5% on Nasdaq, the value of the TESLA tile on Billions Quest will also be down by 5%. The current price of each asset is critical in the game as it determines the rent to be collected from other users who land on your asset. Similarly, it determines the cost of upgrading your asset. **Q: When are the winners announced?** Our Leaderboard is Dynamic and one can see their real-time ranking at the end of each day of the Quest as well as the final winner at the end of the Weekly Quest. \ \ Each quests run for 1 week (7 days), starting every Tuesday (00.00 Hrs GMT) and ends at (23.59 Hrs GMT) on Monday of the subsequent week\ \ To ensure max swag of topping the game's leaderboard, weekly winners are also announced and celebrated on our Billions Quest Discord Server.
