About Wheel to Wealth

Wheel to Wealth is a life simulation about the delicate balance between money, time, and happiness. You play as a young hamster in the cartoon town of Burrowville, where the daily grind can feel like an endless cycle. Your ultimate goal is to break free from the 'hamster wheel' by building enough passive income to cover all your monthly costs. The heart of the game is your animated home, which evolves as you progress. From a humble basement to a grand villa, your surroundings reflect your financial status. You can even see the economy's health through your window, with sunshine during market booms and storms during recessions.

Manage Your Life and Assets

Using the Money, Life, and Statistics menus, you can manage everything from your career and education to your investments in stocks, property, and businesses. Watch your savings grow in a physical piggy bank and track your debt through the 'credit card shark.' Every decision impacts your future, whether it's taking on a side hustle or choosing the right insurance to protect your growing wealth.
