Question 1

What is Roadshow?

Accepted Answer

Roadshow is a single-player roguelike iOS game for iPhone (iOS 18+). Its tagline is 'gin rummy meets antique appraisal.' At each stop on the road you build an antique lot from a hand of cards, pitch it to a buyer with distinct preferences, and bank coins or bust. Between stops you spend on relics, re-rolls, and lot expansions in the shop.

Question 2

How does the daily run cap work?

Accepted Answer

Free players get three runs per day. Roadshow Pro unlocks unlimited runs. The daily allotment is enforced server-side via a Cloudflare Worker and resets at UTC midnight. The server is the source of truth, so you cannot bypass the cap by changing your device clock.

Question 3

What is the difference between in-game cash and coins?

Accepted Answer

Cash is the in-run currency you earn by selling lots to buyers — it resets each run. Coins are the meta currency you spend on permanent unlocks and re-rolls between runs. Coins can be earned by playing or purchased optionally via consumable IAP coin packs. Runs do not require coins to play.

Question 4

How much does Roadshow Pro cost?

Accepted Answer

Roadshow Pro is $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year (US pricing). Both tiers unlock unlimited daily runs. There is no weekly subscription option — this is a deliberate product choice. Coin packs are sold separately as optional consumables from $0.99 to $99.99.

Question 5

Is Roadshow multiplayer? Can I play against other people?

Accepted Answer

No. Roadshow is strictly single-player. There is no PvP, no live multiplayer, no real-money cash-out, no trading. The server tracks your daily streak and challenge progress but never connects you to another player.

Question 6

Does Roadshow have ads or tracking?

Accepted Answer

No. Roadshow has no third-party tracking SDKs, no advertising, no account, no signup, and no email collection. You are identified by an anonymous Keychain-backed UUID stored on your iPhone, used only for subscription management via RevenueCat and for the server-side daily-run gate.

Question 7

Does Roadshow work offline?

Accepted Answer

No. Roadshow requires a network connection because the coin balance and daily-run gate are server-authoritative. If the Worker is unreachable, the app will refuse to debit coins rather than optimistically deduct them locally.

Question 8

Is Roadshow available on iPad or Mac?

Accepted Answer

No. Roadshow ships for iPhone only. There are no iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, or Vision Pro builds.
