Getting started

Welcome to TAXI YIELD

Taxi Yield is a management game where you build your own taxi company in a pixel city that never sleeps. You start with a single taxi. Your taxis pick up customers and every customer earns you tokens. You fill up the fuel, upgrade the parts, buy new taxis from the market and grow your fleet.

The game's currency is the Taxi Yield token on Robinhood Chain. You can spend it in the game or withdraw it to your wallet once you meet the requirements.

Build a fleet

From the standard taxi to the limousine, buy higher-class taxis in the market.

Manage fuel

As long as the tanks are full, your taxis keep running and earning.

Earn

Every customer pays tokens. Upgrade your parts and earn more.

Getting started

Our vision

1 · Game first

It should be fun to play even without the token. The economy is built on top of the game, not instead of it.

2 · Clear, balanced progress

Every higher taxi earns more and every part makes a difference. When to invest in what is your call.

3 · The server decides rewards

All earnings are calculated on the server and protected by rules against bots and cheats.

4 · Play to earn, not pay to earn

You start for free. Tokens are earned through effort and smart management, not just by depositing money.

5 · A reason every day

Refuelling, rush hours, VIP customers and weekly races keep the city alive every day.

6 · Sustainable economy

For every token earned there are meaningful ways to spend it in the game. Inflation is kept in balance.

Getting started

Getting started

  1. Open it in your browser. No download. Works on phone and computer.
  2. Sign in with your wallet. You just sign a message with an EVM wallet like MetaMask, Rabby or Coinbase Wallet. No gas, no token approvals.
  3. Set up your stand. Every player starts with their own stand with 2 parking spots and a Standard Taxi. Founding Drivers from the waitlist also find 1 Yellow Taxi.

A wallet is permanently linked to one stand. Accounts cannot be transferred.

↺ Better taxis, more customers. More customers, faster growth.

The heart of Taxi Yield is simple: your taxis pick up customers, and every customer earns you tokens. To run, a taxi needs fuel in its tank. You grow your fleet by spending the tokens you earn on fuel, taxi parts and new taxis.

Taxis keep working while you're away from the game, but only until their fuel runs out. When the tank is empty the taxi stops, and so do the earnings until you refuel.

Gameplay

Taxis and market

Everyone starts the game with 1 Standard Taxi. All other taxis are sold in the market for tokens.

Every taxi has a customer capacity: how many customers it can pick up in a given time. The higher the capacity, the more tokens the taxi earns. Higher-class taxis have higher capacity but cost more in the market.

🚕 Standard Taxi

Everyone's starting taxi. Given for free, with the lowest capacity.

🚕 Yellow Taxi

Picks up far more customers than the Standard Taxi. Sold in the market, free for the waitlist.

🚗 Higher classes

Classic Sedan, Minivan, Electric Taxi, Luxury Sedan and Limousine. Each picks up more customers than the one before.

🛒 Market

All taxis are sold in the market for tokens. You can sell your old taxi back to the market and get a better one.

How is it balanced?

  • A higher taxi always earns more. Moving up a class noticeably increases your earnings.
  • Price rises along with earnings. Moving up a class always takes a bigger investment.
  • Higher taxis burn more fuel. They earn more but are also more expensive to run.
  • Part upgrades don't skip a class. Even a fully upgraded taxi can't replace the next class up.

Example: a waitlist player

For everyone
+
Yellow Taxi
Extra, free

2 taxis from day one
Much higher earnings

A player who joins after launch starts with only the Standard Taxi. To get a Yellow Taxi they have to save tokens and buy it in the market.

Gameplay

Fuel system

Fuel is the most important resource in the game. A taxi without fuel doesn't run.

⛽ Tank

Every taxi has a tank. The tank decides how many hours it can run. The bigger the tank, the longer the taxi runs without refuelling.

🔥 Consumption

A running taxi burns a set amount of fuel per hour. Higher-class taxis burn more but also earn more.

🛑 Empty tank

When the fuel runs out the taxi stops where it is, picks up no customers and earns no tokens. It hits the road again as soon as you refuel.

🏪 Gas station

Fuel is bought at the station with tokens. Fill up one by one, or the whole fleet with a single tap.

Why does it matter?

  • It brings you back to the game regularly. The player who keeps the tanks full earns the most.
  • It stops bots and endless earnings. Taxis can't run on their own forever.
  • It balances the economy. Tokens spent on fuel leave the game and reduce token inflation.
  • It adds strategy. A bigger tank means running longer while you're offline. Filling up before bed is a good habit.

The fuel price isn't fixed. Some days there's a fuel discount event, and during rush hour consumption goes up.

Gameplay

Part upgrades

You don't upgrade your taxi as a whole, but part by part. Each part is raised level by level with tokens you earn in the game and only affects that taxi.

🛞 Wheels

The car gets faster and carries more customers in the same time.

⛽ Fuel tank

The tank holds more fuel, so the taxi runs longer without refuelling.

🛋️ Comfort

Customers are happier and pay more tokens per ride.

⚙️ Engine

The taxi burns less fuel and becomes cheaper to run.

Each level costs more than the last. Parts for expensive taxis cost more too. Upgrades always make a difference but never replace buying a new taxi.

Gameplay

Your stand and parking spots

Every player has their own taxi stand. The stand decides how many taxis you can run.

  • Everyone starts with 2 parking spots (enough for the Standard and the Yellow Taxi).
  • For more parking spots you have to spend tokens you earn in the game.
  • Each new parking spot costs more than the last.
  • You can free up a spot by selling an old taxi in the market and put a better one in its place.
Gameplay

City districts

You can send your taxis to different districts of the city. Each district affects the number of customers and the fares differently. Downtown is free, the others are unlocked with tokens.

🏙️ Downtown

Free. Balanced customers, standard fares.

✈️ Airport

Fewer customers but long rides, more tokens per customer.

💼 Financial district

Very busy mornings and evenings, quiet during the day.

🌃 Nightlife

Open only at night. High fares, needs a comfortable taxi.

⚓ Harbor

A rush of customers on ship days.

🌅 Coast road

The final district. Tourists and rare VIP customers.

Gameplay

Quests and login streak

  • Daily quests: Things like "Carry 100 customers today" or "Refuel your whole fleet". Rewards: tokens and fuel.
  • Weekly quests: Bigger goals, bigger rewards.
  • 7-day login streak: A growing reward every day, with a fuel and token chest on day 7. If you miss a day the streak pauses instead of resetting.
Gameplay
