Question 1

Is Road to Headliner really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 100% free with no ads or pay-to-win mechanics. All players compete on equal footing. We believe the best game is one where skill and strategy determine success, not your wallet.

Question 2

How long is a season?

Accepted Answer

Each season lasts 12 real-world weeks. After a season ends, there's a brief offseason period, then you start fresh with a new band while keeping your awards, prestige, and account history.

Question 3

Can I play on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Road to Headliner is designed primarily for PC/desktop browsers. The interface works reasonably on tablets, but the complex management screens are best experienced on a larger screen. A dedicated mobile experience may come in the future.

Question 4

Is it multiplayer?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You share the game world with other players in real-time. Compete on leaderboards, enter festival brackets, collaborate on features, and declare rivalries with other bands.

Question 5

What is MT (Management Time)?

Accepted Answer

MT is your action currency — think of it as your manager's energy. It regenerates 1 per hour up to a maximum of 48. Every action like booking shows, rehearsing, or recording costs MT, so planning your time wisely is key to success.
