🧭 Getting started: your first day in Rocket Crew

You start on Earth with an empty launch pad, a hangar and one worker: yourself. The goal is to take your rocket to level 25 and fly it to the Moon. This is the shortest way through the first day.

Your first ten minutes

Name your rocket. You can change the name, and pick a country flag, whenever you like.
Assemble the engine. It is the first part and costs 30 coins. Paying starts a work: nothing is instant in Rocket Crew.
Send your worker to it. A work does not move without a worker. They walk there (10 seconds) and then the countdown starts.
Go up in order. The rocket is assembled from the bottom: Engine → Tank → Fins → Fuselage → Cockpit. Each part needs the one below already finished.
Share your link. Every person who opens your base gives you 10 coins. See how to earn coins.
Collect. The coins from visits wait in your base until you collect them, and there is only room for 200 at the start.

What to build first

Your rocket cannot outgrow your base. Each part is capped by the level of one building, and the whole rocket by the launch pad. So the order that works is: assemble the five parts, take the launch pad to level 2 (it unlocks the tower and the fuel building), and then raise each building just before the part that needs it. The whole picture is in the guide to the base.

💡 Verify your email as soon as you can: it gives you 50 coins and, if somebody invited you, it is what makes you show up as a worker on their base.

Things worth knowing on day one

The daily reward grows each day in a row, from 10 to 70 coins. Skipping a day does not reset it.
One work per worker. With only your own worker you do one thing at a time. Every friend you invite is one more pair of hands: see workers and invitations.
The game goes on without you. Works finish and visits count while you are away. When you come back, a summary tells you what happened.
You can try it first. “Try it without an account” opens a practice base that lives only in that browser tab: nothing is saved.
