About Simian Shakespeare
Simian Shakespeare is an idle game in which you hire monkeys to type random strings on emoji keyboards until they find the Complete Works of Shakespeare, one word at a time. You start with a single ape typing one character at a time. Finding a real word earns peanuts, which you spend on more monkeys, faster typing, longer words and unusual helpers.
Monkeys and helpers
As you progress, you can unlock the Celestial Monkey, which uses your GPU to type millions of characters per second, and a cloud monkey that shares found words with other players so you can work together. A mysterious hairless monkey can help you earn all 100 achievements and bring Shakespeare back in an unexpected way.
Unveiling the book
You can leave the game running and check the book on the left as Shakespeare’s complete works are gradually revealed.
