Staff can enter the game directly without applying. Change the code in the admin panel.
💡 Ask your student to open their game profile — their invite code is shown under "My Code". Parent accounts don't need a DIG STEP application and don't use a cohort seat.

🆕 First Time Playing Online?
STEP 1 — How You Get In
Got an invite link? Just tap it — the room code fills in automatically and you can create your account right there. Skip to Step 3.
No invite link? You'll need to apply in the DIG STEP Academy first, then come back here and sign in with the same email you applied with. Open DIG STEP Academy ↗
STEP 2 — Sign In or Create Your Account
Already applied in the Academy? Tap Create Account, then use the same email you applied with, and pick a password.
Came from an invite link? The quick join screen asks for your name, email, phone, and a password — fill those in and you're ready. No separate application needed.
Been here before? Just tap Sign In with your email and password.
STEP 3 — Join or Start a Room
Joining a friend's game? Tap Join Room and type the room code exactly as shared — including the dash (e.g. DIG-K7QP). If you used an invite link, it's already filled in.
Starting a new game? Tap Create Room. You'll get a room code — share it via the Share or Text button. Once everyone joins, the host taps 🎮 Start Game Now.

🎟️ How to Invite People
There are two kinds of invites — they do different things. Here's when to use each.
🔵 Lobby Invite — "Come check out the game"
Found in the lobby under Invite Friends. Sends your personal code + game link.
✅ Gets someone into the game so they can play any mode. ❌ Does not put them in a game with you.
Use it to introduce a new person to DIG STEP.
🟢 Room Invite — "Play THIS game with me now"
Appears after you tap Play Online → Create Room, on the waiting screen. Sends the room code + join steps.
✅ Drops people straight into your live game. ✅ This is the one for playing each other.
Use it when you're ready to start a match together.
Each invite has 3 ways to send:
📤 Share — opens your phone's share menu (Messages, WhatsApp, etc.)
💬 Text — opens your texting app with the message ready
📋 Copy — copies it so you can paste anywhere
Quick start to play with friends: Tap Play Online → Create Room → tap 💬 Text Room → send. Your friends just tap the link — the room code fills in automatically, so they only tap "Join Room." (2 taps for them!)

🚨
YOU'RE IN DEBT!
Your DIG Dollars dropped below zero.
-$50
💡 DIG STEP Financial Lesson — Session 1: Fund Ur Dreamz
Choose how to cover your debt:
💳 Credit Card — Easy but costly
Borrow at 20% interest. Repay within 3 turns or interest grows. Fast money, slow trap — exactly what Session 1 warns about.
🏦 Bank Loan — Slower, smarter
Borrow at 10% interest. 5 turns to repay. Lower cost, more planning required.
🏛️ Sell an Asset — No interest
Zero interest. Sell your lowest-value building immediately. Loses progress toward that Complex.
🏦
LOAN PAYMENT DUE
💡 DIG STEP Money Lesson
Once you go negative, you pay back every dollar borrowed PLUS interest — just like real life. Credit cards, car loans, student loans: every dollar borrowed costs more to return. Build savings and assets BEFORE you need them. That is why Session 1 exists.
The timer has ended. Here are the final standings!

🏦 YEAR COMPLETE!
End of Year 1
💡 DIG STEP Tax Lesson:
Property owners pay 3% property tax each year — this funds schools, roads, and public services.
They also spend 1% on renovations/upkeep to maintain property value.
That's 4% total leaving your pocket each year — but smart investors still profit because their
income exceeds those costs. That's why building assets matters more than just earning wages.
🏛️ PROPERTY AUCTION
Choose what to do with this property:
⚡ Auction to Players
Open bidding to all players. Highest bid wins. You keep the money.
🏦 Return to Bank
Return property to the bank asset deck. Receive 50% of original value back.
✕ Keep Property
Cancel — keep this property in your portfolio.
You can only auction properties you own. Auctioning to players uses the same bidding system.
