Welcome to Scoop Stack, the cozy idle game where every tap builds a sweeter empire. You start with a single cone on a sunny street corner. Tap to stack scoops, watch them sell for coins, then reinvest in auto-scoopers that keep the parlor running even while you're away. Before long you're running a whole ice cream business that earns around the clock. It's the perfect blend of relaxing and addictive. Calm enough to unwind with, satisfying enough that you'll keep saying "just one more upgrade." STACK AND SELL Tap to drop scoops onto the cone. Fill it, top it with a cherry, and it sells on its own. Build combos for a rush of bonus income — or hold with Steady Hands once you've unlocked it. UNLOCK 36 DREAMY FLAVORS From everyday Vanilla and Strawberry to Mango Tango, Matcha Swirl, Galaxy Swirl, Gold Leaf, Eternal Sundae, and mythic scoops beyond. Rarer flavors sell for much more, and your flavor collection stays with you forever. TRAVEL 18 BEAUTIFUL WORLDS Take your parlor from Sunny Street Corner to Beach Boardwalk, Harbor Wharf, Neon City Plaza, Starlight Fairgrounds, Tropical Island, Orbital Station, Crystal Cavern, and beyond. Each world is its own little scene with a unique look and bonus. FRANCHISE AND GROW Hit it big, then franchise to earn Stars that permanently speed up every future run. Worlds reset so you can re-travel the map; flavors stay unlocked. Chase daily treats, finish quests, and tick off goals for steady rewards. COMPETE AND BACK UP Name your parlor and climb live worldwide leaderboards. Add friends, join seasonal cups and clans, and optionally back up your save to the cloud — all without creating an account. EARNS WHILE YOU'RE AWAY True idle gameplay. Your auto-scoopers keep selling cones while the app is closed, so you come back to coins waiting to be collected. Optional rewarded ads can boost your run when you want them. COZY AND POLISHED Soft pastel art, gentle animations, and a relaxing feel. Progress saves on your device by default. Play fully offline, or hop online for Social when you're ready. Whether you've got two minutes in line or a whole evening to unwind, Scoop Stack is the comfy, endlessly satisfying idle game your sweet tooth has been waiting for. Start scooping. Your ice cream empire is one tap away.
