THE HANDBOOK / 11 FIELD NOTES
Scam With Your Friends Guides
Find your way through the first shift, co-op setup, speech problems, and the details that matter before you play.
All gameplay, troubleshooting and game information guides
How to play your first shift
A first-launch checklist and a six-step shift sequence, from testing a call to checking earnings and the boss review.
Multiplayer & co-op
Set up an online group, join by invite, and resolve code, version or first-launch blocks before your first call.
Microphone not working
Separate microphone input, speech recognition, and player chat before changing settings.
AI not working
Check the response chain: captured words, AI connection, then caller voice playback.
Official download & setup
The official Steam listing, Windows requirements, and what to check before installing.
Platforms & requirements
Windows, Mac, console and mobile: keep confirmed support separate from similarly named listings.
Price & purchase options
Paid Early Access, regional prices, Steam keys, and optional external AI costs.
Recordings & privacy
Local recordings, AI transcripts, the in-game browser, and controls worth understanding.
Playtest & demo status
Paid Early Access is the confirmed route. Check what an older invitation grants and whether a separate test is actually offered.
AI access & services
Understand what powers the dialogue, what a personal API key does, and which services are optional.
Tips & daily quotas
Check actual earnings, coordinate your group, and understand the documented completion steps for investment, lottery and code-based tasks.
Choose the guide for your next step
Start with the beginner guide for calls and daily quotas. Use the multiplayer guide for joining a crew, or the troubleshooting collection when input or caller responses fail.
Built around official information. Every guide includes its sources and a review date.
