## What is Citrus Empire?

Start with one wobbly lemonade stand on a quiet street and squeeze your way to a citrus empire.

Check the forecast, mix your recipe, set your price and open for business. Hot days bring crowds, rain keeps people home, and every customer tells you what they think. Get it right and your reputation soars.

SIX PLACES TO SELL
Suburb sidewalks, a leafy park, the beach boardwalk, the busy financial district, the shopping mall and a music festival. Each spot has its own crowds, sounds and surprises, and builds its own popularity the more you sell there.

GROW YOUR BUSINESS
- Upgrade from a hand squeezer to an automated juicer
- Beat the lines with a cash register, velvet line ropes, a lemonade dispenser and tap-to-pay
- Hire assistants, managers and a dancing Lemon Mascot
- Unlock Pink, Mint, Strawberry and Honey Ginger lemonade
- Buy stand upgrades: tip jars, parasols, a boombox, even a billboard
- Advertise with flyers, newspaper ads and radio spots
- Expand every location for bigger crowds and faster service

FRANCHISES THAT EARN WHILE YOU'RE AWAY
Train a manager at any spot and it keeps making money while you run another stand or close the game.

CITRUS LEGACY
Built a big enough empire? Sell it for Golden Lemons and start again stronger. Every lemon boosts your sales for good, and you keep your stands, pets and flavors.

FOUR SEASONS
Spring Bloom, Summer Splash, Autumn Harvest and Winter Frost follow your calendar. Each brings its own decorations and a limited flavor (Lavender, Watermelon, Pumpkin Spice and Cranberry), and the autumn and winter seasons let you earn a special cart.

A TOWN THAT FEELS ALIVE
Picnics in the park, anglers by the pond, kids flying kites, sunbathers on the beach. Customers pop open umbrellas in the rain and your staff pull on ponchos. Tap the clown, jogger, skater or balloon seller when they stroll by for a surprise tip, and watch for six rare guests who sometimes walk up for a lemonade: a shark in shades at the beach, a bear in the park, a penguin in a suit downtown and more.

MAKE IT YOURS
Collect 17 stands, from the Candy Wagon and Tiki Hut to The Big Lemon, a stand shaped like a real lemon. Earn the Champion Stand, Empire HQ and seasonal carts by playing. Bring a pet along (a cat, a pup, a bunny, a parrot or Goldie the Goldfish), choose where it sits, and recolor your sign's lettering.

NEWS, CRITICS AND GOALS
Read the Citrus Gazette, impress the food critic, chase daily goals, Empire Goals and achievements, keep your Daily Bonus streak going, and watch your profits climb on the daily chart.

PLAY YOUR WAY
A full-screen layout made for every iPhone and iPad. Speed the day up to 8x or skip ahead, and come back later to collect franchise earnings. Curious how something works? The built-in Game Guide explains every system in plain language.

FAIR AND FRIENDLY
No accounts and no sign-up. Ads only play when you choose to watch a short clip for a bonus, and they're rated for all ages. Citrus Premium, a one-time optional purchase, gives every bonus without clips plus the Gold Leaf stand and Zest the Lemon Dragon, a pet that's all yours. Accessibility options include reduce motion and larger text.
