Question 1

What is Unicorn Rivals?

Accepted Answer

Unicorn Rivals is a persistent-world, async multiplayer startup simulation for iOS. You build a company, upgrade departments, research tech, compete with up to 40 players on one server, and race to be the first to reach a $1 billion valuation.

Question 2

When does the game launch?

Accepted Answer

We are currently in pre-launch development. Join the early access waitlist on unicornrivals.com — beta players will be notified by email when iOS testing opens.

Question 3

Is Unicorn Rivals free to play?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The game is free-to-play with optional in-app purchases. There are no ads. Money buys speed and comfort (time boosts, shields, advisors) — not guaranteed victory. A skilled free player can beat a careless paying one.

Question 4

Do I need to play at the same time as other players?

Accepted Answer

No. Unicorn Rivals is asynchronous multiplayer. The world runs 24/7 while you are offline — rivals grow, timers complete, and you may get disrupted. Your evening session is about catching up and making decisions.

Question 5

What is Disrupt?

Accepted Answer

Disrupt is the game's single PvP attack. It is expensive, risky, and cannot be spammed. On success, the target loses ground — resources are redistributed across the server, not stolen by the attacker.

Question 6

What is a Sprint?

Accepted Answer

A Sprint temporarily focuses your team on one priority — Sales, Product, or Growth — for a strong push. Only one sprint can run at a time.

Question 7

How do servers work?

Accepted Answer

Each server holds up to 40 players, never resets, and is dedicated to one product type (e.g. B2C Mobile App or B2B SaaS). Empty slots are filled by AI rivals with distinct personalities until real players join.

Question 8

Can I join a server late?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New players get early-game protection and catch-up support to stay competitive — but skilled leaders still keep their edge.

Question 9

Which platforms are supported?

Accepted Answer

iOS only at launch (iPhone and iPad). There is no web or Android version planned for the initial release.

Question 10

How do I get early access?

Accepted Answer

Enter your email on the homepage waitlist form. We will send a beta invite when testing opens. No spam — unsubscribe anytime.

Question 11

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email us at hello@unicornrivals.com for general questions or privacy@unicornrivals.com for data-related requests.
