The core loop every run follows
Step
Every run starts with the same job: grab documents, destroy them, clean up, upgrade, and move on.
- Grab the documents pick up every stack of paper scattered around the room.
- Shred them for cash feed each stack into a shredder and crank it to earn money.
- Vacuum up the scraps clean the shredded remains off the floor to clear the room.
- Upgrade your skills spend the cash you earned on upgrades before moving on.
- Unlock the next door use cash or items to open the door and advance to the next room.
Making and spending money
TipsCash comes entirely from shredding paper stacks, so the more stacks you destroy, the more you have to spend.
- Try to purchase every upgrade before a run ends; clearing the whole upgrade shop in one run earns a specific achievement.
- Shredding every last document in a single run, without leaving any stack behind, unlocks a special achievement.
- Cranking shredders adds up over many runs — hitting 100 total cranks is a long-term milestone.
- Earning one million dollars in a single run is one goal; ten million dollars across all your runs is another.
