Highrise - Virtual World Wiki

In this game of course there are in-game purchases however you don’t have to spend money whatsoever. I just started about 8 days ago and I already have items that I’ve always wanted. As well as this there are free items that look so cool that can be found in a scavenger hunt. The main method for me when I got so much items was by trading. In events in Highrise, which take place every couple of days, which can help you get free rewards by earning points. These rewards are always being looked for by other players and can either trade then or sell them. I prefer trading since you can get more items out of it but it depends on your preference. During my time so far I have gotten so much cool and adorable items that I wanted the moment I started the game. I recommend this game to others who enjoy a fun game. Be warned that this game has so much nice people but there can be a toxic side to this community. Avoid being scammed by other traders or sellers. I recommend joining a crew as soon as possible that way if your scammed you can alert them and they can help report the person for you. Thank you if you are reading this for taking the time out of your day.😊

So I use to play this game all the time a couple years ago, and I had it connected to my Facebook. Today I decided to hop back on. I spent TONS of money into this game and I really want my account back. It says there’s no account linked with my Facebook. I’ve tried so many different user names and passwords I would have and it just keeps telling me incorrect password. I would appreciate my account back, since I spent a lot of my own money into it. I don’t want to start over. I even tried to start over and it just stays at the loading screen trying to connect. Please help! ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED And I gotta say this game is amazing. My only issue is why do they have to take half the money from our own personal grabs? And if you trade gold you have to spend some of it to trade it? I know it’s always been like that w gold and I hate it sm but other than that it’s a really fun game! Hate to see all the technical difficulties happening w the events, hopefully that’ll get fixed soon. Thanks for the response❤️

Ok so I already wrote a review but it wasn’t that in detail because I had to go somewhere. I want to give a honest and good review. If you like apps where you can communicate and meet people or earn items you can. It’s a good game and I honestly like it. But people are just so toxic and nasty. There are people who will ask you for your storefront prices and when you tell them they will call you disgusting words because your prices are to high for a Epic item but Epic items are supposed to be expensive so I don’t know what they thought for that. But other people will ask you for social media platforms and your private Snapchat. Like honestly it’s disturbing. And lastly it’s kind of hard to get gold. This game has many ways to get gold! Like for example there is a button that say watch for free gold. That is honestly a good way to get gold but you only get 2 on the first try. Also if you keep trying again you usually get building items which no one wants. You can sell things for gold or crew packages will maybe give gold but crew packages never happen so it’s kind of hard to get gold. There should be a wheel of Highrise in the game! It’s where you can spin each 24 hours to get a certain amount of gold the lowest being 5 and the highest being 100! It might be a little weird sounding but new players will have a chance to get gold! That’s it for my review bye bye! 👋

Where do I begin. You download this game thinking it will be just some silly phone game, no no no. It can become more of your life than your actual life. The game is set up to where you have to socialize to some degree to do much of anything, buy stuff, be in a crew, chat in rooms. Definitely promotes social activity. That leads you to meet people, thousands of people. People have found their best friends on this app, they date on this app it’s a mini world. There’s also a lot of bad with the good. People online can be a lot more mean and negative, it brings out the worst in some. There’s lots of bullying, offensive and highly inappropriate things that go on. Also the way the game is set up as far as eventing goes, you really HAVE to spend money to be in a top eventing crew and get nice rewards. The algorithm for grabs is horrible. The reason I would end up quitting this game is just how much money it really takes. That definitely needs to be worked on. Watch out because it can become highly addictive. They need more staff, more competent staff that acts like an actual profession business. In most cases they do nothing to solve majority of the issues that people have. My advice for this game is to set a limit for how much you would ever allow yourself to spend. Maybe 10-20 a month. Anything over that for a phone game... you need to step back and consider deleting lol.

This game, like everything else, has good and bad stuff like everything else. Good side like making friends and looking great many people like me enjoy dress up it’s fun there are many great items in the game. Also many artists post their art and become known and can just share their talent with others. Sadly the bad stuff are more. First so many toxic people. This is unavoidable anywhere even in school or real life basically. Second this game adds taxes when you buy gold which are supposedly to “ make things nit become so expensive “ when it’s not working at all. There are items that are with $1000 and up alone. Gold value when you buy is not good if prices are this high they should give us more gold when we buy them. Most nice and old items are worth 50k and up where the most gold you can buy is 25k which is $100. They really should cycle old items and grabs so prices would go down. People scam a lot and like to spread hate and sometimes innocent people get reported and get banned or punished for no reason. Support sometimes answers quick sometimes doesn’t and sometimes they say we’ll fix it but almost never do or say there’s nothing we can do to help. That’s all really but I’ve been playing it for years and still won’t stop I met wonderful people here

I’ve been playing this game for 2 years and I’ve been mad at a few things on this app before but not as much as I hate this update, theirs a few good things with the update but way more things that were just unnecessary, for instance, the only way to check your gold and bubbles is to go to shop, which isn’t a big deal but is just unnecessary and before the update u could see it anywhere which was much better. Also we are only able to do 2 gestures now, there were many of them and could even buy them and now there’s only 2. The profiles, now this one problem isn’t much but everything’s different, things r backwards now so kinda hard to get used to, you can’t tele to ppl anymore, the post r kinda weird now kind of like instagram which isn’t much of a problem. Also some little thing like avatars, their taller now, less gestures (as I said). The one that has me the most upset is the inbox, when your texting someone it’s complicated, theirs both on the same side now and I can’t always tell the difference, it was much easier before. I hope this update goes away and back to before cause this update is much more complicated. Overall I very much enjoyed the app, it’s the update that ruined it for me. And that concludes my complaint.

This app is a lot of fun but it comes with some frustrations. Being a crew leader is hard, but it is harder when you have to make sure that children don’t join your crew because of the lack of word or topic censorship in the chats. I wish there was an age limit setting for the crews. These parents let their kids play on this app with no monitoring because they see it as a harmless dress up game. But in the chat, the adults in the game are able to use foul language and talk about age sensitive topics without limitation. You also can’t kick crew members during an event. So if someone is spamming the crew chat and saying threatening or inappropriate stuff, you can’t kick them until days later when the event is over. I also miss the old version of Highrise where you were able to earn gold by doing surveys or watching videos. You absolutely have to buy gold now. And the old surveys we took were not paid out. There is also an issue where the Highrise team has been double charging members for gold purchases or not giving them the proper amount of gold. I also feel that prices for items should be locked when added to the storefront. And trades should not be able to become scams. If these issues were addressed, the app could be so much better.

The words I would use to describe the staff of this application are selfish and uncaring. The creators themselves stated that they are working to focus on the “game” aspect of this app (which I can only assume means “events” which require real-life currency in order for you to actually succeed), yet they have eliminated all of the free mini games such as Wolf, Draw, and Fishing that were loved by the community and actually drew people together. Not to mention all of the updates, fixes, and changes have only created an unimaginable amount of bugs. The community itself has grown to become extremely toxic and unhealthy. Events have done nothing but create stress and tension understandably, as they are not games anymore. Users are pitted against each other in a competition of who can spend the most and sleep the least in order to rank the highest. If you are not a seasoned and well-known player with nice items, people do not want to be your friend because the app is also littered with scammers, catfish, racists, and pedophiles. I have seen pornographic images and anonymous hate accounts left posted for long amounts of time. The staff are of little to no help when it comes to responding to support tickets, unless a huge uproar is made. They do not care much for user input, it makes no actual difference to the development of the app itself. My decision to give this app more than one star is based on the fun I USED to have.

This game is really fun. But, the people are very inappropriate. So many people said bad words in the game, but it was not tagged. It should be tagged. This game should be for 16+. There are people that would friend me and ask for nudes. Also people share a lot of private information on this game, such as their age. I like the concept of meeting new people, decorating your room, and dressing up your character, but people who are being inappropriate do not get banned, and that is a problem. Some kids that may download this game will be easy to target. All those 20 year old people can easily ask children where they live, their age, their name, everything. That is a big issue. This is not a safe game for kids. At least have a restriction so kids under the age of at least 13 can not download the game. They could get in a lot of trouble by chatting with strangers. Please fix these problems. Also one more thing. I played this game for a few days, and I don’t know how to get gold. So I might play it again if you could get gold from doing stuff or daily log in rewards, or something. Cause I saw so much stuff that I wanted, but couldn’t get it because I didn’t have any gold, and I didn’t even know how to get it. So please respond and tell me how you can get gold for free, and not have to buy it in the shop. Thank you if you read this.

I just recently started playing this game and I feel like this game could have potential. What I found incredibly frustrating about this game is that it’s near to impossible to get more gold unless you either buy it, trade something, or watch the ads which most of the time only gives you 2g (sometimes 5 if you’re lucky). My suggestion is maybe just for new comers you start them off with a substantial amount of gold and bubbles so they get what they want to make them comfortable and then they can do as they wish as they progress in the game. I understand this a game you made and you probably need the money but making something such as virtual money nearly hard to impossible to get is in my opinion pretty darn shady. What I’m saying if you want more people playing this game I would make some adjustments so it can be somewhat easier for new comers to feel comfortable in the game because what I’ve seen from most the the reviews people are getting bullied solely because of “lack of cool clothes”. Also people feel the need to make items way too expensive which is so incredibly frustrating for a new comer. I have had some nice people give me stuff for free but that is VERY RARE!!! In conclusion if you were to ask me to suggest this game to someone else right now my answer would be no

I had the game for a few years and spent way too much money on it as any teen would for a game. My account was recently hacked, no one had my password and my email was linked Incase I couldn’t remember. However, in the process of the event the hacker took off my email without me even being notified. Items that cost me hundreds of shameful dollars were stolen. The FAQ and support refused to replace the items to me. I could get into about how ridiculous the game has become over time, and the amount of cyber bullying that goes on, but at the moment I’m just here to express that many accounts get hacked and the support system is very poor and will not help, in fact after four years of me spending so much and keeping my account secure, they blamed me for getting scammed. Even if they track down a user, and block them, it’s as simple as resetting their device and creating a new account. So nothing really gets done when someone has done something terrible. The game scams users out of their money, it is a pay to play type of game and if you’re not extremely careful and someone hacks your account you will not be getting your items back. I advise staying away from this toxic game the people in it as well. It’s easy to get addicted to if you’re more of a social media type of person, but I’m literally begging everyone to stay off because it will hold you back and scam you out of a lot more than you expect. This doesn’t even get a star for me.. it’s just required.

I’m starting off with the people in this game. It can be VERY toxic. Period. There’s literal ADULTS on this app that are bullying children. The app is 12+ and these 20 year olds are on here telling everyone to report younger kids playing just to kick them off the app. It’s literally a game- anyone can play. You’ll get bullied for doing anything on here, if you don’t spend money and your character looks like a noob. And then these people who’ve spent thousands of dollars on this game go and make their characters as noob-y as possible and praise each other about how good they look right after they bully new players for looking like that. And if you actually want to be one of the top people in events, and be in a top crew, you need to spend money. LOTS of money. Otherwise you’ll probably stay at the bottom. The events in this game are a scam, they’re designed to keep the rich, richer, and the poor well poor... if you don’t spend money on the grabs (which barely give u the better items and it takes forever to get the better items) you won’t get anything unless you know how to get stuff and work your way up(which for me took months to At least get somewhat decent items) you’ll find friends in this game because some people are really nice, and some people do giveaways and games which is nice too and that helps some newer people but some of the games people host, rich people go to and then there’s no way to win because you don’t have any good items.

I have played this game for awhile so I have a pretty good idea of how it works. You really can’t get anywhere without buying something. The app pushes you to buy new clothes, membership, etc; Which would normally be okay expect they’re asking for way too much money. The creators are definitely way up on their high horse. And then when you complain they tell you “you can definitely play the game without buying anything just like in real life” No. First of all when everyone else is buying overpriced items in the game and you don’t you start to feel left out. You’re not as “cool” as the others and sometimes you can be down right bullied for it. You’re pressured into spending money to fit in with the higher members. I have tested this firsthand. I went through the game without buying anything at first, it was hard to make friends, no one talked to me and no one complimented me on the very basic outfits you’re giving with in the beginning. Then I made a new account on my tablet and bought a few things. I made more friends because they people were attracted to the fact that I had things normal players couldn’t get. I was invited to more rooms. It’s all a sales tactic these people are playing with you. I’ve worked in sales and I know all the games. The creators of this app are money hungry. Don’t waste your time unless your willing to drop some serious cash.

When I first got this game I was thinking it would be one of the best games I ever downloaded. The graphics were really nice and I loved the fact you could design your own house and character. In order to purchase clothing and furniture items you have to have bubbles or gold. Bubbles are easier to earn and you can get them by completing daily challenges in the game. Gold is not easy to earn. People make it seem like it is easy and can be done without spending money but the only way to get a decent amount of gold is by paying for it. People will tell you that you can watch ads, but you only get 2 gold for the first 2 ads that you watch. The other ads after that will give you bubbles. The problem is that most things in the game can only be purchased by gold. In order to buy limited items, you have to use 200 gold. People won’t want to trade if you are selling something that is available at all times. When it comes to trading, clothes and accessories cost somewhere around 2k-5K gold. I honestly think that this game would be a lot better if there was a way to transfer in bubbles for a good amount of gold in the shop. I think there should be ways to earn gold in the daily challenges other than signing up for a membership since that costs money. There is not much to do on the game either besides visit rooms and socialize.
