A day in the city

Clock in. Get paid.
Build a life.

No grind wall and no paywall. You walk off the bus with nothing, and the city looks after you while you find your feet.

Arrive

Water at the fountain, soup at the Soup Kitchen and a bench to rest on are free, forever. Grab a free bike and look around.

Work

Pick a job off the board: pump the fountain, flip burgers, run a market stall, work the docks. Each one is its own short minigame.

Get paid

Every task pays its posted price by the stars you earn. The money comes from the business's wage pot, filled by what players spend there.

Live

Eat, rent a stall, grow a garden, dance with a crowd at the Drop, and save up for a place of your own in the Heights.

Eight districts

One city,
eight moods.

Your phone

The whole city in your pocket

Pull out your phone to find work, call friends, check the map and see your balance. Every app is built into the game, not a menu bolted on.

  • Jobs, Map, Messages, Calls, Bank and Wallet
  • A camera, a diary, a ledger of every coin
  • Wardrobe, emotes and the Season Card
Shop windows along the street, each lit with a stocked room inside

A city that lives

Look through any window

The bakery has bread on the racks, the tea room has its menu up, the chip shop's fryers are on. Walkers fill the pavements, buses run Route 1 and vans carry the town's shops on their sides.

  • A full day and night, and real rain
  • Every district with its own sound
  • Free bikes from minute one, then scooters and cars

Together

Better with people

Work a shift next to a friend, take turns as Shift Lead, dance in sync with a crowd and catch the Saturday Drop: a weekly stage show with limited paints and a city vote.

  • Synced emotes that earn XP with three or more
  • Worker of the Day for every business
  • A city jar that opens the Venue for everyone

$SHELL

The city where
the money is real.

$SHELL is a Solana token. Inside Shell City it is simply money: what you earn, spend and save. Outside, it is yours to keep.

  1. No printed wagesEvery wage comes out of what players spent at that business. The only coin the game ever creates is a one-time 25 $SHELL start grant.
  2. One price, on chainEvery price comes from an on-chain pool. The game never makes one up.
  3. No wallet connect, no keysYou never connect a wallet or see a private key. Withdraw to any Solana address when you want to.
  4. Free means freeSoup, water and a bench always work, just slowly. Nobody pays to play.
  5. No hidden costsEvery price, fee and loss is shown at the moment you decide.
85%to the business, which pays its workers
10%to its coin's buyback, then burned on chain
5%to the city treasury

How $SHELL works

$SHELL is proven on Solana devnet, with public signatures, and goes to mainnet at launch. Earnings are never guaranteed, and nothing here is financial advice.

Questions

Good to know

When can I play?

Soon. Shell City is finished and in testing, and we will announce the opening on X, TikTok and Instagram first. Follow @ShellCityFun so you don't miss it.

Is it free?

Yes. Shell City is free to play on Roblox. Food, water and rest are free forever, and your first wage comes from working, not paying.

Do I need crypto to play?

No. You never need a wallet to play, work, earn or spend. $SHELL is just the money inside the city. A wallet only matters if you want to take money out.

What is $SHELL?

$SHELL is a token on Solana. In the game it is the money every wage, price and purchase is counted in. The whole loop (deposit, trade, buyback and burn, withdrawal and daily reconciliation) has been run on Solana devnet with public transactions. $SHELL moves to mainnet at launch, and it is not tradable yet.

How do I take money out?

Earned $SHELL can leave once your Street Cred reaches 100. You build that up by playing over a few days: paid shifts, a meal or rent, a delivery or repair. You send it to any Solana address you choose, and the fee is shown before you confirm. The 25 $SHELL start grant is spendable in the game but never withdrawable.

Can I lose money?

Prices, fees and losses are always shown before you decide. Trading city coins can go down as well as up. Earnings are never guaranteed, and nothing on this site is financial advice.

Who is making it?

A small independent studio. Shell City is not made, sponsored or endorsed by Roblox Corporation.
