  • So. Cute.

    This game is so fun! It’s totally cool, and I love the adorable graphics!!! There are a couple things I wish were in the game. One, I wish you could customize the theaters. I like the red theater seats but I always have to upgrade them to the purple ones and it doesn’t feel as cushy. Two, I wish you didn’t have to use gems to buy some items in the areas, because it doesn’t say the entire thing is complete without them and my OCD levels spike because I want them to be done and the empty areas filled. Other than that, it’s an amazing game, totally ad free unless you want VIP perks. 🩷🩷🩷

  • Great game

    I usually don’t do reviews. This game has been fun. Although, I’m now in the 4th level and can’t do anything because I can’t see any of the managers I have in the manager menu. Everything was fine up until then. I’ve powered my device off and back on and still no fix. Also, it’s a bit frustrating to have to spend a ton of money on managers until you finally get the kind you really need for a certain area and as you move up levels, there are more theaters but not nearly enough movie managers for them. You end up spending all your money trying to get enough but never do.

  • Good but…

    I’ve been playing this game for about 3-4 months now and it’s amazing I like everything about it except the hiring managers. I spent over a week consistently playing every day trying to hire a specific manager for a specific role and it just keeps duping The ones I already have to level up and that’s a huge downside for me so I constantly have to have managers assign to stations that they don’t like because hiring managers doesn’t give you ones that you need.

  • Need an Update

    Updated Review: Please note, I stand by my old review ( see below). This game is still great. However we need a new update. It’s been a while since we’ve had new theaters. Why don’t you make one of them the drive-in? Not like the one in the challenge, but a permanent one. Please fix soon!

    Old Review:
    I really love this game. It’s really fun. The only reason I won’t give it a 5 star because I wish you could transfer money from one theatre to the other. The second thing, I wish they would add more people. Make the parking lot look full and everything. All that hard work and it seems like no one wants to come to the movies. Please fix!!

  • Great game

    A lot of tycoon games I play I don’t stay until the end. I usually play a little bit of the game and then get bored. THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE GAMES.

    1. No ads unless you want ads

    2. Very creative movie theaters, posters, collectibles, I guess you would call items you have to buy with gems, quests, side quests if you will, and more

    3. I stayed until the end of the game which is saying something

    The only downsides are that you have to have Wi-Fi, you don’t come out with theaters fast enough (I get it’s probably hard to make new theaters with the programming and ideas and such, but when I’ve been playing over a few months and you still haven’t come out with anything, it’s hard to continue playing), and the last theater doesn’t have many things you can buy with gems and it’s basically a copy of the one before except it’s fantasy themed. Other than that one of my most played games to date and it’s a really good. Definitely recommend.

    P.S.- idk if anybody will read this out of the thousands of reviews but if you do thx!

  • Have you abandoned this game?

    Another edit. Still waiting for a new theater. The Queens landing theater is the last one. I’d like to keep playing this game but you guys don’t seem to want to keep players. Edit: Well it’s now been 4 months since it shows you’ve done any updates. I’ve completed all available theaters. Still waiting on a new one. I’ve completed the queens landing theater over 2 months ago. Is that it? There’s no new theaters except for the limited events going on. Are there going to be more theaters? It’s been 2 months since the last update to this game.

    Another edit. It’s now may and there is still no new theater. How do you guys expect to keep people playing your game if you don’t add anything new.

  • Not enough uses for coins

    I like this game a lot and I play it every few days now. I am almost done with the latest available theater and it’s still fun. I hope the next theater gets released soon. The main issue I have with this game is that I can’t buy gems with the coins. It takes a long time to save up coins but it would be awesome to be able to buy gems with enough of them. Since gems are the biggest currency in the game besides just real world money. It doesn’t have to be a good deal but it would make my game experience better to have the option to trade coins for gems.

  • Events

    The main game is actually pretty fun, but the fact that you can hire 10 different food managers with one concession stand and barely any theater managers with multiple movie theaters is stupid. Also, the event goals are way too high. For the alien one you have to reach 780 thousand alien customers to get the final goal, but upgrading everything to its fullest only gives you 2 thousand and something alien customers per hour. No one is going to spend money on an event when the upgrade only lasts until the event ends and the upgrade costs $20 dollars. Make the goals more reachable and stop trying to rob the players.

  • Not bad, could use improvement

    This game is a good way to kill time. Only issue I have come across is that the proportion of managers to respective areas is frustratingly off. I.E. Your cinemas have one arcade and I have 9 different managers for the play station type, on the flip side you have 12 theaters and I have spent over $10mil to only get 10 managers for the movie station type. The same could be said for service and food station types. I understand having a few extra to swap out or they have minor differences in attributes, but it is frustrating when I hire 30 managers in a row and can’t get another one to manage a theater. It would be great if you could use excess managers from cinema to cinema.

  • Bug and support

    So there’s a bug in the star light nights events where people finish using the sink and get stuck and contact support does not work I typed in my issue after it asked and no response and now I can’t type anything else on. Only reason I’m doing this here and giving it a one star. Someone please reach out and/or fix the issue and I will fix my ratings I love y’all’s games even have prison tycoon I’m not trolling. Again would not have put this review and one star here if at least the contact us bot or person worked. This is a five star game just doing this so someone will do something about it thank you and sorry.
