Meet the rockstars

Your band is about to become a roster. Every rockstar has a role, a grade in each music style, things they love and a signature move. Combine them into lineups, mind the chemistry, and keep a bench for when the drummer needs a nap.

LINEUPS AND CHEMISTRY

Who plays next to whom matters.

  • Four core slots and one flex.Vocals, guitar, bass and drums, plus a flex pick that shapes the sound: a DJ makes Hip-hop work, a second guitar boosts Metal, keys help Pop and Ballad.
  • Shared likes, tighter band.Two vinyl collectors play better together. A night owl next to an early bird? Some friction. Bands that keep playing together grow closer.
  • Everyone gets tired.Every show costs energy, and tired rockstars play worse. Keep a bench and rotate.

AUDITIONS, EXPLAINED HONESTLY

Tokens are earned by playing. Never sold.

Rockstars join through auditions, paid with Encore tokens. You get tokens from the game itself, not from your wallet. An audition brings a 4 star, a rare 5 star, or a handy backstage item.

The empty audition stage, curtain up
Violet spotlightA 4 star is walking on.
Gold spotlightA 5 star. Sparks included.

Where tokens come from

  • Winning fair fights
  • Reviving silent towns
  • Fame milestones
  • A daily check-in

Public guarantees

10A 4 star at least every 10 auditions
90A 5 star by the 90th at the latest
Miss the featured 5 star once and the next 5 star is the featured one. Counters are always on screen.

Duplicates become Encores

E1 to E6: stronger styles, a stronger signature, a higher level cap and, at E6, an aura for the whole lineup.

The slow, certain road

Scout local talent at your Rehearsal Studio with Buzz: a guaranteed 4 star of the role you choose. No luck involved.
What we will never do
  • Sell auditions or tokens
  • Hide the odds
  • Fake countdowns
  • "Only today" pressure
