From half a billion clips in 2 hours 58 minutes to one quadrillion in 3 hours 25 minutes... what even?

Ha, another victim! Just keep going and wait for the fun. I finished my first run through with 30000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 paperclips . Anyhoo, moving this to the appropriate area of the forum in a mo

A neat little webgame I came across on Friday and have found oddly compelling and addictive

http://www.decisionproblem.com/paperclips/

The fun part is in finding out what stuff does

Couple of things though.
1. You can close your browser and come back to it later on - it saves your progress as you go along. However, see point 2.
2. Don't run the game in a private browsing session, it won't let you save your progress!

Have fun!

ps. There are a lot of different ways to approach the game, once things get going and there are multiple ways to complete it, with different endings. Oh and make sure you have your speakers on

I started a game this morning, and as the day has gone on I'm doing less and less work Just hit 30,000 I've got a way to go yet...

I am confused

 

[Cluck]

I started a 2nd playthrough last night. Currently well into the duodecillion's

[Tom]

100k!

 

[Darksi]

42 Million paper clips and rising

Real life productivity declines while my paperclip productivity rises... 100.000.000 and counting...

I blame you @Cluck if I get fired because I haven't done shit since I stumbled across this thread/game.

 

[Tom]

Aaaargh, I cannot keep up with demand! I've just gone from charging $0.03 a clip to $0.45

 

[Cluck]

Wait until you start earning $100K a second. Things start getting spicy really quickly then!

I popped home at lunchtime and set it running again for the afternoon. With a bit of luck, it should be finished by the time I get home

What I love is that it's simple, addictive, fun.

It takes quite a while before that counter starts rising

 

[Invincible]

HOW? I can't even build a factory, despite being at 500.000.000 clips with 75.000 $/second

Nevermind - got it.

 

[FuBii]

you werent kidding cluck, from 0% to 100% in less than 10 minutes

 

[m4nu]

Must... Resist... Too late

It stops runnning when the browser is minimized to task bar, and also when you have another tab open and watching that instead of game page.
