Tinyville is a cozy home-building game where you decorate, collect, trade, and compete in a world full of other players. Build tiny homes one piece at a time in a warm, low-poly world. Shop for furniture, complete quests, trade with players in a real economy, and make your space feel like yours — all at your own pace. DESIGN YOUR DREAM HOME Place every chair, bed, and plant exactly where you want it. Rearrange freely, experiment with styles, and build multi-floor homes across different environments — forest cabins, beach houses, and more. COMPETE WITH OTHER PLAYERS Climb the leaderboards and compete for the title of Most Productive Citizen or Best House Designer. Show off your creativity, optimize your daily routine, and earn recognition from the community. KEEP YOUR CHARACTER HAPPY Take care of your character's needs by providing nutritious food and maintaining happiness through various activities and lifestyle choices. A happy resident is a productive resident. SURVIVE THE ELEMENTS Weather can impact your home and daily life. Strengthen and protect your house against storms and other weather events to keep your cozy life running smoothly. A SHOP THAT'S ALWAYS FRESH The shop rotates on its own schedule, so new items keep showing up. Catch a rare piece before it's gone. QUESTS & LEVELS Complete daily quests and work through a story that teaches the game one piece at a time. Every level unlocks new furniture packs and categories to collect. TRY YOUR LUCK Spin the gacha for a chance at rare furniture you won't find in the regular shop. GRAND EXCHANGE List items for sale or place buy orders. The Grand Exchange anonymously matches players by price — build a fortune by trading smart in a real player economy. VISIT FRIENDS Add friends, tour their homes, and leave reactions. Discover the most creative builds from players all over. FOCUS MODE (OPTIONAL) Want to stay off your phone for a bit? Send your character to work and we'll block distracting apps while they earn a little extra gold and XP. Totally optional — you can earn everything without it. NO ADS. NO PRESSURE. Play at your own pace. Tinyville is built to feel like a quiet corner of the internet — cozy, social, and yours to build. Download Tinyville and start building your tiny world today!
