About Paperclip Factory

An incremental game about one simple goal taken much too far. Bend wire into paperclips, automate with auto-clippers and wire mills, recycle, deploy drone fleets and approach the clip singularity. Reboot to earn optimisations that make the next run faster.

How to play Paperclip Factory

  1. Tap the big button to earn your first paperclips.
  2. Spend paperclips on producers, from a wire spool up to the clip singularity. They earn for you every second.
  3. Buy upgrades to double each producer, and tap upgrades to make every tap count.
  4. Catch the bonus when it floats past for a lucky windfall or a 30-second frenzy.
  5. When you've earned enough, reboot the system to start again with a permanent bonus.

Tips and strategy

  • Early on, buy the producer with the best rate for its price, not just the cheapest.
  • Upgrades are usually better value than another producer once they unlock.
  • Your empire keeps earning at half speed for up to eight hours while you're away.
