Your team’s balance stalls, the review countdown keeps ticking, and a rageaholic boss is already warming up for the performance review.

Reading the Quota and Review Timer in Scam With Your Friends
Each workday starts at an office computer, and the taskbar tells you almost everything you need: your personal balance, the team total, the daily quota, and a countdown to the performance review. Opening Scammer Script shows how your available apps earn money, so check it before the first call. A solo opening day shows a $600 quota, and a bigger crew starts with a higher number.
You can speak into your microphone or type into the phone’s chat box, and both work. Money only counts when a conversation finishes, since an unfinished call adds nothing toward the missing quota. Early in the game that makes abandoning a promising caller to grab a fresh one a classic mistake.
The boss review is the moment players remember. The boss replays lines from your calls and comments on them, so your worst sentence gets played back to the whole crew, which is why content creators love it. If the team falls short, everyone is fired and, according to gameplay footage, the run restarts at Day 1.
Scambaiters and Computer Viruses in Scam With Your Friends
Scambaiter is the caller who turns the tables. These callers waste your time and can hit your workstation with a virus, so a caller who sounds too eager or suspiciously prepared deserves caution. Hang up before they get a long window on your computer.
Computer virus is what turns a good shift into a rescue job. An infected workstation costs you shift time while the review timer keeps running, so warn your teammates the moment it happens.
Caller variance is the quirk players argue about most. The AI reacts to what you say, so the same script can land a jackpot on one caller and get you hung up on by the next. Some players read that as the game’s best joke, while others call it randomness, and it is fair to remember the game is still in Early Access.
Co-op Lobbies, Workshop Callers, and Floor Two
Lobbies hold 1 to 8 players, with public lobby search and code joining that also accepts Steam invite links. Friend groups tend to split the work, with one player chasing high-value callers while the others take quick calls. Everyone still shares the same quota, so a strong teammate cannot carry a crew that keeps losing callers.
Character Creator lets you make a caller who can phone the office, while Daily Callers edits the existing callers. Steam Workshop callers add extra marks to the rotation, but a custom caller showing Waiting for Workshop Upload gets skipped when calls begin. Check that status before the shift starts.
After each boss review, the Tomorrow’s Scams announcement tells you what unlocks next. Read the Scams and Apps unlock requirements before spending earnings on a new application, and keep that announcement in mind as you progress toward Floor Two.
Common Questions About Scam With Your Friends
- What happens if the team misses the quota? The boss fires the whole team at the performance review, and gameplay footage shows the run restarting from Day 1. Watch the review countdown on the taskbar and stop taking risks once the team total passes the quota.
- Can you play Scam With Your Friends solo? Yes, since lobbies start at one player and the solo opening day shows a $600 quota. Without teammates you handle every incoming call yourself, so the apps listed in Scammer Script matter even more.
- How do you spot a scambaiter? Treat a caller who is too eager or suspiciously prepared as a possible scambaiter, because those calls can end with a virus on your workstation. Hang up early rather than gambling the shift, and warn your crew right away.
Scam With Your Friends is at its best in the minutes before the performance review, when the team total is a few hundred short and everyone is arguing over which caller to trust. The boss, the taskbar countdown, and the next Tomorrow’s Scams announcement keep every shift tense, and a good crew learns to hang up on the wrong caller as fast as it learns to close the right one.
