Gameplay

The following are elements of gameplay in Project Highrise.

Prestige
Prestige is the level of renown your tower has earned. Higher prestige attracts higher-level tenants and many building features require a certain level of prestige to be reached before being build.

Prestige can be earned by increasing the tower's population, by having happy tenants, by placing artworks in the building and by completing special contracts. Prestige can be lost by move-outs or evictions.

Influence
Influence is used, together with Consultants to unlock new advanced features for your tower.

Influence is earned from Apartment Residents and some Office Workers. It can be spend on Consultant Upgrades.

Buzz
Buzz is the amount of interest your tower has in the community, and will make more people want to come to your tower.

Buzz is earned from people visiting your Restaurants and Cafes and your Retail Stores. When you have a certain amount of buzz, you can spend it on Media Campaigns.

Money
Money is earned from tenants paying rent. It is needed to pay upkeep, services and new construction. Your daily balance is shown underneath the amount of money you currently have. Clicking on money reveals your daily budget as well as options to change the global rent rates and get more in-depth reports on your daily revenues and expenses.

Visitors
Visitors are people patronizing the shops and restaurants in your tower. In contrast to Tenants they don't live or work in your tower. Visitors can generate Buzz.

Contracts
City contracts provide a means boost to Money as well as  Buzz or   Influence. You can only have two contracts at the same time, unless you spend Buzz on the Media Campaign "Call in a Favor", which increases the number of contracts you can take up to three.

Most contracts provide an amount money upfront and another one upon completion. Some contracts require you to fullfill other contracts first before you can take them.

Performer Booking
To ensure there are any events for your hotel guests or business people, you need to book them manually using the performer booking dialog.
