Quick answer
Six classes, three levels each, unlocked and leveled with Paperclips — the meta currency that persists between runs (drops while shredding, 11-19 per session; also sold for Robux). Footage-observed unlock prices: Intern 100, Associate 100, Night Guard 300, Supervisor 200, Manager 300, CEO 1,100 Paperclips; level-up costs are unknown. Prices were observed on the class menu in guide videos and may change with updates. Community consensus: CEO is the best class (team cash up to +25%), Supervisor the squad pick. Farm Paperclips by repeating Room 1 — details in the guide and game passes.

How to Farm Paperclips
- 1Play Room 1 — it can be cleared in under 10 minutes (community-reported).
- 2Only clear a path to the next room; you do not need to empty every paper pile.
- 3Shred as you go — Paperclips drop during runs (11-19 per session in community footage) and are awarded for clearing rooms.
- 4Exit and re-enter to repeat Room 1 for the fastest farm (community-recommended).
- 5Optional: Paperclips can also be bought with Robux, and the 2x Paperclips pass doubles income.
