A tycoon game puts you in charge of developing a business or operation. You earn in-game income and invest it in equipment, space or staff. The actual work varies: serving food, stocking shelves or adding park attractions.

Restaurants: service and development

In Burger Tycoon, prepare burgers, serve customers and expand the dining area. Restaurant Director - FastFood 3D combines pizza preparation, staff management and opening restaurants.

Stores: products and prices

In Supermarket Simulator: The Original, buy products and stock shelves. Dream Store adds shelf placement, customer service and price management.

A water park: facilities and guests

In Water Park Simulator, build slides and pools, serve guests and expand the site.

Tycoon versus idle

Tycoon describes developing a business or operation. Idle describes progression that automates some of the work. Choose by the activity you want to handle yourself: serving, trading or building.

Choose the activity first: serving, trading or developing a park. Then check which improvements the game lets you buy. A genre label is not a substitute for the selected version's instructions.
