Highrise Ideas lets you share a design for a single wearable item so other players can pre-order it. If an Idea reaches its funding goal, the Highrise art team makes it into a real item and everyone who pre-ordered gets a copy. If it misses the goal, the Idea is canceled and every backer gets their Gold back.
Where do I find Highrise Ideas?
Highrise Ideas is on the web at https://highrise.game/highrise-ideas. In the app, open the Shop, go to the Creators tab, and tap Ideas under Submit Your Ideas. Sign in with your Highrise account to submit, pre-order, or save Ideas.
Is Highrise Ideas accepting new submissions?
Yes. Ideas reopened for submissions after a pause. If submissions are ever paused, the Ideas site shows a banner at the top saying new submissions are temporarily closed. To submit, see How do I submit a design to Highrise Ideas?
What do the Idea statuses mean?
Every Idea shows a status badge:
In Review: the Highrise team is checking the submission. Only the designer can see it.
Not Approved: the Idea didn't pass review. Only the designer can see it.
Funding: the Idea is live for 30 days, and anyone can pre-order it at a discount.
Funded: the Idea reached its goal and is waiting to be built.
In Production: the art team is building the item with the designer.
Delivered: the item is out and backers have received their copies.
Ended or Refunded: the Idea didn't reach its goal. Pre-orders are refunded automatically.
How many pre-orders does an Idea need?
An Idea needs 85 pre-orders during its 30-day Funding window. Once it hits 85, it moves straight to production. If the window closes first, the Idea ends and backers are refunded.
How much do Ideas items cost?
All Ideas items are Legendary, and the price depends on the item type:
Most items: 6,000 Gold to pre-order during Funding, 8,000 Gold after the Idea is funded.
Hair: 9,000 Gold to pre-order during Funding, 12,000 Gold after the Idea is funded.
Hair costs more because it takes much longer to build.
When does a funded Idea come out?
There's no fixed production time. Funded Ideas are built in the order they were funded, and finished items go on sale as a Monday drop in the Shop's Creators tab, under Latest Ideas. Backers and the designer receive their copies on launch day. Highrise doesn't announce individual release dates for funded Ideas ahead of time.
Can I trade an Ideas item?
Not right away. An Ideas item can't be traded or gifted during its first 7 days on sale in the store. After that, it trades like any other item.
