Welcome to Stage Empire!

Stage Empire is a music industry management simulation. You play as a music mogul who can manage bands, own venues, and run record labels — or all three at once. The game runs in real-time with a beat system (one beat every 4 hours) that advances the simulation.

Your First Steps

1. Create an account — Register with a username, email, and password. You start with ♪10,000.
2. Create a band — Head to the Dashboard and click Create Band. Give it a name and pick a genre.
3. Hire musicians — Visit the Recruitment Market to audition and hire free agents for your band. Each genre has specific lineup requirements that must be filled before your band can perform.
4. Write a song — On your band's detail page, write your first song (start with 2–3 beats).
5. Record it — Once written, record the song (2–3 beats).
6. Buy a venue — Go to Venues and purchase a Small Bar to start hosting gigs.
7. Book a gig — Back on your band page, book a gig at your venue. Set a low ticket price to attract fans.
8. Release music — Release your recorded song as a single to start earning passive income.
9. Grow and expand — Reinvest profits into better venues, more bands, and eventually a record label.
