## What is Idle Prison Tycoon?

Come join our Seasonal Event that takes place every week! 
There are events such as Life and Death, Fantasy Land, The Robot's Dream, Wind of the Wasteland, and Third Humanity.
You can participate in events when you reach Prison 3.

Are you looking for a tycoon? A prison tycoon game is right up your alley!
We teach the bad criminals a lesson in a ""nice"" way.
A simulation game that turns the criminals' lives around 180 degrees!

Manage the prisoners and operate the prison facilities to earn money.
A prison facility starts out as a one story building, but it soon becomes a high-rise building as you learn how to operate it strategically.

It is an ""idle"" tycoon game, so the criminals work continuously even if you're not playing the game.
They're being rehabilitated nonstop, so you don't have to worry!

Criminal Manager Simulation

The troublemakers that enter the prison need to take education courses to be rehabilitated!
Try upgrading the Gym, Labor Zone, Meditation Room, etc.
Also, guide them through the education course to change their behaviors and looks.
The savage criminals will be able to lead normal lives once they complete the rehabilitation program.

Try hiring qualified prison guards.
You need to come up with the appropriate strategy to hire guards for each rehabilitation room.
The guards are basically 'teachers' who possess different skills!
You'll find hairstylists, fashion designers, kickboxers (who change the criminals' behaviors), and many more! Develop your strategy to hire various types of teachers!

The value of the prisoners increases every time they pass through a rehabilitation room, so you'll be able to earn more money as long as the prisoners keep moving.
Secure as many facilities as possible by building and expanding them.
Also, you can invest your income in increasing the value of the rehabilitation facilities!

If you like prison tycoons and casual games, try it now!

Think strategically to activate the facilities, and rehabilitate even more prisoners.
We need your help to make the world a better place!
Try out the perfect prison game!

This game features ads that help you make faster progress.

You do not need any internet connection to play this game.

Take a strategic approach to make the criminals in the rehabilitation facilities turn over a new leaf!

### 1/5 — ゲームバランス

*2024-11-03, version 1.0.52*

ホットドッグやゲーム内マネーの稼ぎ量と増築の必要量とか、バランス悪くて進まないなぁと。
序盤で2日で1ステージ終わらないからすっかり飽きました。

### 2/5 — Eh

*2024-08-25, version 1.0.51*

I play all the games this creator makes and this one is the worst of them all. Claims there are weekly events but the lock never comes off of that section. Sometimes all the prisoners become invisible, and the game becomes nearly impossible to level up in. I wish it could work because I love the concept, but they have neglected to fix any of it for a couple months now.

### 3/5 — Event

*2024-04-17, version 1.0.48*

Are there no events anymore

### 2/5 — 最初は面白いとは思ったんだけど

*2023-01-23, version 1.0.46*

後に増えていく広告と、バグって開かない構成広場…笑   3ステージ目位でやる気なくなった( 👁‿👁 )

### 1/5 — 按本事一直閃退

*2023-01-01, version 1.0.46*

如題，是個無法遊玩的遊戲。

### 2/5 — Loved this game

*2022-11-13, version 1.0.46*

But hasn’t been updated for 9 months and the events have stopped…think the developers have abandoned it?

### 5/5 — Love love love, but..

*2022-10-03, version 1.0.46*

Loveee this game!! One of the best tycoon games there is! Hope more events come out??? Also hope another game like this is made, mental instead of a prison one a horror one or something crazy like that?????

### 1/5 — 復元できない

*2022-09-24, version 1.0.46*

VIPを購入したが、機種変更に伴い再インストールして購入復元しようとしたところ反映されませんでした。
何回やり直してもフリーズしたかの如く動きません。

### 2/5 — If you try and pay for the stuff it takes your money and no reward

*2022-04-30, version 1.0.46*

I really enjoy the game but this is its massive let down.

### 4/5 — Very good but

*2022-01-13, version 1.0.45*

Very good game and extremely addictive but please can you add an option to skip the tutorial in the special zone. It’s very frustrating very to sit through it all every time.
