Ever driven past a sketchy highway rest stop and thought "I could do better"? Now's your chance! Highway Hub puts you in charge of building and managing your very own roadside destination. Start with a patch of land off the highway and grow it into the premier pit stop that every road-tripper, trucker, and family van is dying to pull off for. BUILD YOUR REST STOP, YOUR WAY Lay out roads, parking lots, and sidewalks to keep traffic moving smoothly. Construct bathrooms, diners, travel shops, gas stations, EV chargers, vending machines, and more. Every facility you add brings in new visitors — and new revenue. HIRE AND MANAGE YOUR CREW A great rest stop doesn't run itself. Hire cleaning crews to keep things spotless, security guards to deter troublemakers, and road repair teams to patch up potholes. Happy staff means happy travelers. GROW FROM PIT STOP TO DESTINATION Unlock new buildings and features as your business expands. Add a dog park, playground, or fountain to boost your reputation. Host truck shows and seasonal festivals to draw in bigger crowds. The further you build, the more travelers show up. STRATEGIC DEPTH, CHILL VIBES Set your own prices, manage your stock levels, take out loans to fund your next expansion, and keep an eye on your daily ledger. There's always something to optimize — but never so much that it stops being fun. FEATURES Build and customize your rest stop layout tile by tile Manage staff with raises, training levels, and schedules Dynamic traffic and visitor pathfinding Multiple building tiers to upgrade over time Beautify with trees, ponds, fountains, and more Autosave and multiple save slots Relaxing gameplay that respects your time Whether you have five minutes or five hours, Highway Hub is the perfect game to unwind with.
