Ponzi, Inc

Ponzi Inc is a game on Facebook where you start your own company. You will start from your garage and make you way all to the highest building in town.

Getting started

To get started is to hire some of your friends for free. You can hire via the agency but that will cost you money. The higher you get the more you will have to pay. So use your friends they work for you for free!

Jobs

The first jobs that you get do not pay much at all and you won't need a lot of staff. However before you start it is good to upgrade your table in to a cubicle. This means you will get your jobs done faster. One bad thing is that you only can upgrade one thing in your office at a time. The next upgrade you should get is to buy a computer you will need to upgrade those pretty quick too to get access to a lot of other and better paying jobs. Those better jobs also require you to upgrade certain parts of your building and office.

Perks

Whenever you get a job done you will get a perk for it. Some perks you will use more than others. After the initial ones that you get you will have to complete jobs to get 1 more. The tutorial that comes with the game is a pretty basic but good one. Make sure after the job is done to cash them in. when you look at your jobs and the icon is red then you will not get paid. Yellow means you will still make a profit but not much and green means that you will get paid and have a profit.

Friends

A nice aspect of the game it that you play against your friends and you can make it difficult for them to do good business. You will use some of the perks on them too. Like you can use graffiti on their property making their productivity and morale plummet for 24 hours. That is how long a perk will last. The perk I like the most is the Pizza perk; because that will cause your jobs to be done 1 hour sooner. But when you use them all it will be hard to get them back.

There is also, what in the real world is illegal, a Ponzi Inc. Pyramid. You can add your friend on the pyramid and earn 3%, 4%, 5% and 6% of all the jobs that they do. However you will need to be at least the same level as your friends are or you will not get paid. Lower then you is not a problem you will still get your share they just will not get any of yours. In total only 10 friends can be in your Pyramid scheme. You can change them around anyway you wish.
