Terms of play

Last updated 9 November 2026

Journey is a free online idle adventure game at journeyidle.com, made by an independent developer. By playing, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't play. Questions go to [email protected].

An early game

Journey is in early development. The world, its items and their numbers will change, and some changes will make things weaker or stronger than they were. Progress may sometimes be reset, and there will be bugs and downtime. Journey is offered as it is, with no promise that it will always be available, free of errors or kept the same.

Your account

• You must be at least 13 years old, or older if the law where you live requires it.
• You sign in with Discord or Google. Keep those accounts safe: what's done with your sign-in is on you.
• Your account is yours alone. Don't share it, sell it or play someone else's.

Playing fair

Don't:

• cheat, or use bugs and exploits on purpose. Report them to [email protected] instead;
• use bots, scripts or other programs to play for you, or to reach data the game doesn't show you;
• attack, overload or try to break into the game's servers;
• buy or sell gold, items, companions or accounts for real money;
• harass, threaten or impersonate anyone, or use names or chat that are hateful, sexual or meant to offend;
• share anyone's personal information.

Adventurer and guild names can be changed, messages removed, and accounts suspended or closed for breaking these rules.

What's in the game

Gold, items, companions and everything else in Journey belong to the game. They have no value in real money and can't be cashed out. You get to use them while you play. Journey sells nothing today. If it ever does, the terms for those purchases will be here before they go on sale.

Stopping

You can stop playing at any time, retire your adventurer in the game, or ask for your account to be removed (see the privacy page). Journey may also close one day. If it does, it will say so in the game first.

Limits

As far as the law allows, Journey and its developer aren't responsible for lost progress, lost data, or any indirect loss that comes from playing or not being able to play. Some places don't allow limits like these, and there they apply only as far as allowed.

Changes

These terms may change as the game grows. When they do, the date at the top changes, and a change that matters is announced in the game first. Playing after a change means you accept it.
