Arcade Tycoon

Arcade Tycoon is a management game about designing, building and running an arcade in an isometric pixel-art world. You choose from hundreds of entertainment machines and decorative items to keep guests happy; happier guests spend more of their money. Research and unlock new games, technology and staff as your arcade grows.

Design your arcade

Choose attractions across consoles, pinball, retro and modern games, shooters, pool, ice hockey, virtual reality and more. Create themed areas with unique attractions, and customize floors, walls and pictures. You can also add facilities guests need.

Campaign and sandbox

The campaign has 12 levels set in locations including a ghetto, wacky museums, theme parks, a pirate ship, shopping malls and haunted hotels. Sandbox mode offers a more casual game while still allowing your arcade to expand and grow.

Guests and staff

Visitors include aliens, thieves and angry customers. Guests may drop litter, crave particular machines or need access to food and drinks. Hire security staff, cleaners, technicians and entertainers to meet their needs; staff wages depend on their skill levels.

Running the business

Manage electricity to keep your machines running. If they do not have enough power, guests can be electrocuted and a chain of explosions can follow. A finance panel tracks profits and losses with monthly statements and graphs, while marketing and loans are available through Donald Corp.

Research and unlock upgrades and new technology to improve how smoothly the arcade runs and continue expanding its attractions. The game also features customization, staff management, marketing, finance and an appeal system.
