About this game

Help Adam, Barry, and Erica Goldberg get to the top of their school’s “Cool List” and become the most popular kids in town!

The official idle tap game of The Goldbergs hit comedy TV show. The Goldbergs: Back to the 80s is an idle game where you build your popularity by managing the social life of the Goldbergs teenagers Adam, Barry and Erica in the 80s.

Were you ever popular in high school? Ever make it to the top of the Cool List? Now's your chance! As the true king or queen of the social ladder, you'll collect and upgrade characters straight from the TV show and boost your cool rating to open new hangouts.

Your cool rating is key to completing the idle game popularity challenges and climbing the Cool List!

Ratings and reviews

Sunk cost fallacy: I've invested time and money into it, and gameplay is middling but decent enough, so I don't feel like deleting. But screen is covered in bs attention-grabber. Excess niggling to buy buy and buy some more: exclusive this and exclusive that. EXTREMELY loud ads even on lowest volume. Progress is slowed down to incentivize microtransactions. Pro: once things are automated, it can be a pretty decent idle time-waste

Fun game and even though there are a lot of ads, it's not too bad for a free game. However, after you get past the first few levels/episodes, it feels like you need to spend actual money, and a lot of it, to really enjoy the game. The free items / packs arent give often enough (or have enough in them) to really advance without a lot of waiting and constant playing...

A few improvements with the tutorial could be some guided prompts or glowing spotlight in suggested zones without forcing an interaction with a specific item. Maybe a skip tutorial button. Or a setting in the settings tab that says "disable hints" without forcing someone to tap a certain thing and screen locking it enables a user to feel like they're in control of the device they own. Lots of games now have a setting like "I have played idle games before." Or "help me I am completely lost"
