  • Good, but needs some technical work

    I like this game very much, but there are some tech problems.
    Sometimes it freezes after watching an AD (this happens to many games, but happens more frequently with this one.)
    Doubling the offline 2 hr by watching an AD doesnt work for me more often than not, yet the 10 min boosts by watching an AD always work.
    And the worst offense is, you get no offline income AT ALL if the game mis-loads or you dont tap the “continue” button.
    I recommend the game, and I recommend the devs fix this stuff.

  • Good game expensive in-game purchases

    The game is cool for the most part except for the outrageous prices they try and ask people to pay for ad removal and all the other perks.. I bought the piggy bank (so I could at least show my gratitude for the game) but I was only able to use it once even though supposedly it’s suppose to keep filling up until it’s full again. Not sure if that’s correct but either way it’s a rip off because I haven’t seen the piggy bank since. Game is cool I just wouldn’t buy anything in it. If the piggy bank is able to be used more than once it really should be addressed how, so I’m able to change my review.

    Developer Response

    Hello! Piggy Banks are one-time purchases. When you fill and break them, you claim them. Like a real Piggy Bank, they're broken when you open them. Sorry for the confusion!
  • Good game! But...

    I love this game so much and I enjoy playing it when I’m bored! I highly recommend this game for anyone who likes to customize! The one thing I dislike about the game is that the customization is limited because you can’t put things were you want, everything has to be in the same place. But other that that, I really love this game! 😄

  • Support is terrible, 0 stars should be an option

    I have played this game since July of 2020. I recently got a new phone and because I didn’t restore from a backup and I didn’t connect to Facebook, they will not honor the purchases I made in the app. I chatted with their “support” they stated that because I did not do one thing there is nothing they can do to honor the purchases, they will not add a restore purchases button to the game because they believe Facebook is the way to go instead of the Game Center, so make sure you add Facebook to the cloud save option or your out of luck if you purchase any thing inside the app like the ability to have offline work for 12 hours

  • Almost a two thumbs up

    I’d give this a good score overall. I play this often even but, it’s also not without a few things that I don’t like. First off is the progression system. Theaters have to be upgraded fully before you can advance to the next, I wish it didn’t do that. The other thing is some of my saved progress seems to disappear every so often, not sure if that’s just due to the game or something more. Either or way overall though, I like this game.

  • Box Office Tycoon

    This game is a ton of fun, and not terribly time consuming.

    Pros - updates to game, new levels to try, good 10 minute break, events twice weekly.

    Areas for improvement (IMHO) - lots of ads (2 hour ad boost time means 12 ads to watch for max boost, plus money guy and bus are extra ads). I appreciate the boosts, but I feel like I’m spending more time watching ads than playing the game by a significant amount. The other area I think could use work is the parking number versus the available seats number (I.e. sunset box office allows for about 60-80 more spaces available than are ever able to be used).

  • Super super fun games

    This game is fun but you have to unlock skins and I don’t really like it but it’s still fun because the characters are funny and they have an updated since I played this game I played this game for about a year now and it’s fun and on this 2020 day super fun so here are some tips that this game needs to get first of all it needs more updates second of all it needs to get more skins third of all it needs cards

  • I enjoy this game.

    I downloaded 3 idle tycoons at once and tried them all. This is the one that remains downloaded. This game allows you to make in game money quickly and easily. You occasionally have to watch an ad , but you will be rewarded for doing so. A little guy will walk In and offer you in game money , as long as you watch an ad. Keep an eye out because sometimes he offers a very large chunk of money which will help you so much. 4 Stars because late game quests are expensive and reward you diamonds which are pretty useless compared to in game money. But none the less if you are looking for a game to kill time with , this is the one.

  • It’s fun but needs some changes, plus recommendations

    So overall this is a really fun game. One I’d happily pay for *but* it needs some changes, also I’m including some recommendations for the games developers.

    -1. *Most Important* I understand that a lot of work goes into creating games/apps, but honestly the prices for buying features in the game are WAY too high. I mean, $20 just to skip ads? Or $15-20 plus to add other features that’s a crazy high price for a simulation game on my phone that I would never pay. Prices closer to $10 & below & you’d probably make more in sales.
    -2. Toggling between theaters/venues would be a huge help/time saver instead of having to zoom out & tap every time you want to change rooms
    -3. Better quality graphics
    -4. New/changing music, the same background music gets old after awhile
    -5. More skins/faces for managers so it’s easier to tell them apart
    -6. The ability to name your theatre’s, name your managers etc
    -7. Adding more add-ons like bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, laser tag etc just some ideas.

    Overall you’ve done a great job. The main two issues I have are A) The high prices for in app purchases & B) Adding the ability to toggle/click over to the next Theater/room etc. If you can ever lower your prices I’ll be happy to purchase the game.
    Thanks!

  • Cute, Simple and Realistic

    It’s awesome to see the customers bop around the movie theater as they go to the bathroom or grab a snack. The game is clean and simple. However when you look at your customers it begins to get complicated. You see a line starting at the bathroom, customers getting frustrated that there’s a long line at the concession stand. Your customers show you where your theater’s shortcomings are and I N actually feel like I’m managing the box office instead of just blocking upgrades in an idle game.
