DepositMonsters
You return
Step 01
You return and scan the receipt
Bottles and cans go into a deposit machine or to a collection point in a shop. You photograph the receipt in the app - and that is the only source of Charge.
Got bottles?Grow a monster.
The deposit money stays yours. Every receipt feeds your Sparkling - and on Roblox it builds a plant with you.
App · it lives and grows here
It grows from real bottles, and gets stronger in skill games and duels against other players' Sparklings. You cannot buy one and you cannot win one in a draw.
Roblox · it works here
In DepositMonsters Tycoon you rebuild a dead sorting plant, and your Sparkling takes its place at the machines and works alongside you. Nobody can buy a better one with Robux.

Receipt in hand. Sparkling on Roblox.
Sparklings live in our app - that is where you feed them, train them and grow them with real bottles. On Roblox, in DepositMonsters Tycoon, they work in the plant you are rebuilding.
You raise
Step 02
You raise it and look after it
Charge from the receipt powers it. It gets stronger in skill games and in duels against other players' Sparklings - and every stat will come in handy later in the plant.

Rebuild the plant with your SparklingDepositMonsters Tycoon
Step 03
You build on Roblox
The same Sparkling - level, stats, gear - walks around your plant and takes the machine it works best at. Neighbours on the plots next door can see what you raised.
A Sparkling cannot be bought. Your own enters DepositMonsters Tycoon only from the app, linked with one code - and it is exactly what you raised it to be. Without the app, a starter Sparkling works with you.
02 How it works
From bottle to plant
Five steps: the first one happens in a shop, the last one on Roblox - and none of them can be skipped.

Power up and raise your Sparkling
Charge fills the tank. Level grows with every receipt, the ceiling with every level.

Play and challenge others to duels
Sorting Hall trains reflex, Launcher trains strength and focus - and in the Launcher you face another player's Sparkling. Stats grow only from playing.
- Step 05
Rebuild the plant on Roblox
Link your account with one code. Your Sparkling enters your plant in DepositMonsters Tycoon and works at the machines. On Roblox the plant grows, not the Sparkling - it grows only from bottles.
Charge comes only from a receipt. Never from an advert, never for money - and that is why a high-level Sparkling cannot be bought.
03 The app
You raise it by playing
Bottles give your Sparkling fuel and levels. Strength, reflex and focus, though, it only builds up in skill games - the better you play, the faster it grows. And once it is ready, you challenge other players' Sparklings to a duel.

Duels · Launcher
Challenge a friend's Sparkling
The Launcher is turn-based artillery for two Sparklings on a scrapyard that falls apart with every shot. You send a challenge, agree on a time and play turn by turn on the same terrain with the same arsenal - aim wins, not your wallet.
- Find your rival by their Sparkling's name
- You agree on the match time together
- The server scores it, not the phone
In a duel the stake is Charge, never the Sparkling. You both pay it in to enter, and the winner takes the pot. The creature stays yours, whatever happens.

04 Gang
Every deposit machine and collection point has its gang
The place you already take your bottles to - a machine, or a shop where staff take them by hand - is more than that in this game: a gang of Reactivators from the neighbourhood stands by it. You join with one tap on the map - and from then on, bottles returned there work for the whole crew.
- Gang · Reactivators: 12
- Field lit · goes out in 11 days without a receipt
- Accelerator · +10% training for the gang
- 01
Join where you return bottles
Tap a machine or a collection point on the map and you are in the gang - no invites, no need to be there. One gang at a time, switching once a week: a gang is your neighbourhood, not whichever team is winning right now.
- 02
Build an accelerator together
Anyone can plug a part into it. The accelerator belongs to the whole gang and boosts mini-game training for everyone at once - but it only glows while one of you keeps returning bottles at that place. 14 quiet days and it goes out.
- 03
Throw down challenges
Your gang comes first on the rivals list, then players from nearby points. Or give a friend your Sparkling's name and set up a duel in the Launcher.
A gang cannot be bought. Everything it gives rests on bottles returned at that one place - and parts plugged into the accelerator stay there for good, even if you switch gangs.

One per account, raised on Charge. It never says a word; Dr Czachor speaks for it - the narrator of the game and the only interpreter of the Sparkling.

06 Map
A map made by players
Deposit machines and container collection points in shops. Every pin is placed by a player and confirmed by receipts and by other players being there - which is why this map has no places that do not exist.
Biedronka · Kilińskiego 12 · CONFIRMED · 3 receiptscollection point · corner shop · REPORTED
Reported
You drop a pin on a machine or on a shop that takes bottles back. Only you can see it.
State 01 · visible to you onlyConfirmed by presence
You stand next to it and tap “I am at the machine”. One GPS reading - and the pin goes onto the shared map.
State 02 · every player sees itConfirmed by receipts
A receipt from that place - the time, and the address when the shop prints one - confirms that bottles are really taken there. Other players and their receipts keep it on the map; a broken one is switched off by three reports from different people.
State 03 · the point really works
A pin dropped from the sofa does not go on the map. A player walks with a bag of bottles to an address that has to exist - which is why presence counts, not a click.
The game pays out Charge for discovering a confirmed point
07 Training
Mini-games are training, not a lottery
A Sparkling does not grow by itself. Every mini-game trains a different stat - and every stat has its own job later in the plant on Roblox. Mini-games never give Charge; they pay in training.
Sorting Hall
Bottle to the left, can to the right, a crushed one drops out - against the clock. Hits train Reflex.

Turn-based artillery between two Sparklings on a scrapyard. Accurate shots train Strength and Focus.

08 Questions
Before you ask
Can I get Charge without going to a shop?
No. Charge comes only from a receipt issued by a deposit machine. There is no currency shop, no bundles, and adverts never give Charge. That is not a limitation - that is how the whole game is built.
There is no deposit machine near me. Where do I get a receipt?
From a container collection point. In the deposit return scheme, shops without a machine take back bottles and cans too - the cashier counts them by hand and prints a deposit receipt. You scan that receipt exactly the same way, and you put the collection point on the map like any other Zone.
Do you take my deposit?
No. The deposit is yours and you get it back as always - you exchange the receipt in the shop for cash or shopping. The app only reads the receipt to know that you returned bottles.
What do you do with the photo of the receipt?
Nothing. The photo passes through the server memory and is discarded - there is no photo storage. Only a hash of the barcode is kept, so that the same receipt cannot be counted twice, and it deletes itself after seven days.
Does the app track where I am?
Not in the background. Your location is read once, at the moment you tap “I am at the machine” yourself. We deliberately gave up background proximity detection, because it requires the “always” permission.
Do I need the app to play on Roblox?
No. In DepositMonsters Tycoon everyone gets a starter Sparkling and rebuilds their plant from scratch. The app brings your own - raised from bottles, with your stats. Nothing that touches a Sparkling can be bought with Robux, and your plant's progress stays on Roblox.
Can I lose my Sparkling?
Never. With empty Charge it dims and waits - one receipt is enough to get it back up. In a duel the stake is the Charge paid in to enter, never the creature itself.
A deposit machine or collection point is not working. What do I do?
Report it in the app at that Zone - it comes straight to us. After three reports from different people the Zone goes dark on the map and others will not travel there for nothing. Everything else: help centre.
The bottle is in your kitchen anyway
Take it back, scan the receipt and see what grows out of it.
