Guide
What the cards actually are
Swipe right if you’ve survived one, left if you haven’t. The cards are things real clients say, in the Hinglish they actually say them in. Bas ek chota sa change hai. Final hai, promise. Invoice accounts mein stuck, 60 din lagenge. ₹5K budget, ₹50K scope. If you felt something reading those, the game is not really for you. It’s already about you.
I built it because bad clients, the worst part of freelancing, stay invisible until you’re already inside the project. A red flag is obvious in hindsight and almost impossible to catch on a first call. Twenty five of them back to back is a faster education than most freelancers get in a year. Mark what you’ve survived and the game gives you a rank out of ten, plus a badge you can send to the one person who’ll understand it.

After the game
The red flags are
free. The invoice isn’t.
You can’t pick better clients every time. You can make the paperwork take one message. Describe the work on WhatsApp and Riffit sends the invoice, tracks what’s pending, and chases it for you.
