StepWhen you first load in, your base already has some Bobos sitting in slots. Tap them to collect the cash they have earned, then put that cash straight back into expanding your plot so you can unlock more slots. The more slots you have running, the faster everything else in the game moves.
- Collect from your Bobos tap each one to pull the earned cash into your wallet
- Buy a plot expansion spend that cash to open up extra slots in your base
- Fill the new slots place Bobos into every open slot so none go to waste
- Upgrade your character use cash to strengthen your character and increase your earning rate

Ways to get more Bobos
TipsYour starting Bobos won't be enough to fill a fully expanded base, so you need to bring in more from outside. Three routes are open to you, and using all three together is the fastest way to build a big collection.
- Sneak into the field and steal Bobos from it directly, but stay out of the guards' line of sight or they will chase you off
- Break into other players' bases to grab Bobos they have placed there — guards patrol these too
- Use the trade and gift system to swap Bobos with friends, which is especially useful for tracking down types you are missing from your Index
Keeping your base safe
WarnOther players can raid your base the same way you raid theirs, and any Bobo they take is gone for good — you cannot get it back. The lock feature blocks raids entirely while it is active, so use it whenever your base holds Bobos you really cannot afford to lose.
The Index and what completing it unlocks
SummaryThe Index tracks every type of Bobo you have collected. Filling in entries by gathering different Bobo types is one of the main mid-game goals, and the rewards make your base noticeably more productive.
- Index entries filled by collecting each distinct type of Bobo
- Cash boost reward unlocked when you complete a set, making your Bobos earn faster
- Base color reward cosmetic customization option unlocked alongside the cash boost

Common questions
FAQDo my Bobos keep earning cash when I am not playing?
Yes, Bobos earn cash even while you are offline. When you log back in, collect everything they built up before spending it on upgrades or expansions.
What happens if someone steals one of my Bobos?
Stolen Bobos cannot be recovered. Your best options are to grab a replacement from the field, raid another player's base, or ask a friend to trade you one. Keeping your base locked is the way to prevent it happening in the first place.
How do I avoid guards when raiding?
Guards will chase you if they spot you, so move carefully and watch their patrol paths before making a grab.
Why should I bother completing the Index?
Finishing Index entries unlocks cash boosts that make your Bobos earn faster, plus base color options for customization.
