You need: a crypto wallet, such as a browser extension wallet (find one). We suggest a separate wallet for testing. Billable never asks for your seed phrase or private key; anyone who does is a scammer.
1. Add the network
The easy way: skip this step. When you connect in step 3, the app asks your wallet to add Robinhood Chain testnet and switch to it. Just approve.
To add it by hand, use these values in your wallet's "add network" screen:
- Network name:
Robinhood Chain testnet - Chain ID:
46630 - RPC URL:
https://rpc.testnet.chain.robinhood.com - Currency symbol:
ETH - Block explorer:
https://explorer.testnet.chain.robinhood.com
2. Get free testnet ETH
Every action in the game is a transaction, and each one costs a tiny network fee in testnet ETH. Testnet ETH is free: paste your wallet address into the Robinhood Chain testnet faucet and it sends you some. You never need to buy testnet ETH; anyone selling it is running a scam.
3. Recruit your lawyers
- Open app.playbillable.com and press Connect wallet. Pick your wallet and approve the connection (and the network, see step 1).
- Go to Recruit, choose how many lawyers you want (1 to 20) and press Recruit. You pay a symbolic test price in testnet ETH, plus a small reveal fee once per transaction. The fee pays for the random number that rolls your lawyers.
- Your lawyers arrive as sealed case files. After a few seconds, pick files and press Open selected (or Open all). Opening rolls each lawyer's grade, skills and looks.
4. Open your firm and give orders
- Open your firm: give it a name (3 to 24 characters, shown in capitals) and dress your CEO. It's free apart from the network fee, and you can change both later in the Partner's office.
- Stake: in Recruit, press Stake lawyers to move your new lawyers into your office. Each one starts on the job that suits its best stat.
- Give orders: every lawyer does one job per turn and repeats it until you change it. Click a lawyer or a room in your office, pick a job, then press Save job changes.
- Bill hours (Bill in the app): safe, steady fees. Uses Diligence.
- Discovery (Dig): safe, always finds an item. Uses Research.
- Litigate (Sue): a duel against a random lawyer on Litigate; win for more fees, lose for less. Uses Advocacy.
- Poach: the riskiest duel; the loser's lawyer may move to the winner's firm. Uses Persuasion.
The full rules are in the whitepaper.
5. Turns and results
- A turn lasts 12 hours. Turns change at 00:00 and 12:00 UTC (02:00 and 14:00 Danish summer time; 01:00 and 13:00 in winter). The app shows the time to the next turn.
- Results appear a few minutes after the turn changes, in Results and in your office.
- About half an hour after the turn changes (a safety window), press Settle to apply the results to your treasury (only the network fee). Settle before you withdraw tokens, unstake lawyers or take items out: nothing leaves a firm with unsettled turns. Tokens you win can be used in the game at once and become withdrawable bit by bit until the turn ends.
- Upkeep (about 30 tokens a lawyer) is charged after each turn, so your lawyers work even with an empty treasury. If the treasury drops below zero, you pay 10% of the debt each turn and can't withdraw or unstake until it's back above zero. Bring your locked Genesis tokens in (Recruit) to start with a cushion.
6. Report bugs
Something broken or confusing? Tell us in #bug-reports on our Discord, send a direct message to @Billable_game on X, or email hello@playbillable.com.
Say what you did, what you expected and what happened, and add your wallet address (it's public anyway) and a screenshot if you can. Found a way to break the game? Report it instead of using it against other players.
