Summary
A capitalist survival game where money builds teams —
and leadership decides who wins.
The Sidekick is a high-stakes reality game show where contestants — dubbed Capitalists — must use limited seed money to bid on and recruit skilled individuals known as "Sidekicks" to form mission teams.
Each Sidekick comes with unique strengths and price tags.
The Capitalists must draft wisely, lead strategically, and outlast rivals through multiple rounds of team-based challenges.
But here's the twist: in the final round, money can't buy loyalty —
Sidekicks will choose whom they follow.
“Buying talent isn’t enough.
To win, you must lead.”
A dynamic blend of strategy, psychology, and social hierarchy — The Sidekick is a format ready to be localized across genres and global markets
