A business simulation on Roblox

Price the job rightand the work is yours.

You are not clicking a button to earn money. You are standing in somebody's yard, working out what the job is worth, and naming a number — knowing they already have one in their head.

Try the estimate yourself

This is the real thing — the same price tables and the same acceptance thresholds the game uses. A lead comes in, you see the market band, and the customer's budget is hidden inside it. Name your number.

Quote low

You take the job almost every time, and leave money on the table on every one. A full schedule of underpriced work is how a real contractor goes broke while looking busy.

Quote at the top

Fewer jobs, better margins. Worth it when the pipeline is full. Worth nothing when it is empty.

Quote over

Mostly lost. The lead expires, and the advertising spend that bought it goes with it.

From knock to paid

Leads arrive on their own, or faster if you pay for them. Everything after that is yours to get right.

01

A lead comes in

Somebody in town wants work done. Leads expire, so a pipeline you cannot service is wasted spend.

02

Measure the job

Every property has a real size. A quarter-acre lawn and a two-acre lawn are not the same job or the same price.

03

Send the quote

You see the market band. They compare your number against the one they already had.

04

Do the work

Mow the yard in passes, clear the piles one at a time, or hold the grade until the low spot fills.

05

Get paid, get rated

The job pays out and the customer forms an opinion. Reputation follows you to the next lead.

06

Send a crew instead

Once you have people, you stop doing the work and start deciding who goes where.

Somebody has to swing the shovel

Post a position, read the applicants, and decide what experience is worth to you. These are market wages — pay under and you get what you pay for.

PositionWhat they doMarket wage
LaborerGeneral site labor, cleanup, material handling$21.50per hour
LandscaperInstallation, maintenance, mowing, finish work$23.50per hour
Equipment OperatorSkid steer, mini excavator, loading and grading$28.00per hour
Crew LeaderField leader, responsible for production and quality$31.00per hour

Full-time, part-time or seasonal

How you hire is a decision with consequences, not a formality.

Five experience tiers

No experience through to veteran. What you require narrows who bothers applying.

Three posting tiers

Basic, enhanced or featured. A better listing reaches better people and costs more.

Leads cost money

You can wait for work to find you, or pay to make it arrive faster. Every extra dollar of advertising buys slightly less than the one before it.

$500

Starting cash

Everything begins here. There is no cushion.

$60

Cost per lead

Anchored to real home-services benchmarks, where a lead runs from about $50 to well over $130.

2 → 24

Leads per cycle

Two arrive on their own. Twenty-four is the ceiling, and getting there is expensive.

0.85

Diminishing returns

Spend does not scale forever. Doubling the budget does not double the work.

The numbers are not made up

Most tycoon games invent an economy that feels good and means nothing. This one is built on published contractor pricing, so learning to quote in it teaches you something that is actually true.

Where the price tables come from

Every job type carries anchor points taken from 2026 industry pricing guides. Sizes between anchors are interpolated; sizes past the ends extrapolate from the last segment.

  • Lawn mowing — price-by-size tables, $30 on a small lot to triple figures on two acres
  • Yard cleanup — cost-by-size, scaled to the area actually worked
  • Grading — fine grading benchmarked around $0.40–$1.00 per square foot
  • Gravel driveway — driveway size tables and repair scope
  • Wages — real market rates per position, not invented tiers
  • Lead cost — home-services advertising benchmarks
