Build your own data center, one GPU at a time. Turn a tiny garage lab into a sprawling AI campus in Compute Tycoon. Install powerful hardware, win compute contracts, and keep your growing operation running. Every upgrade brings a new challenge: more servers need more power, better cooling, and a crew that can keep up. BUILD AN AI EMPIRE Place server racks, transformers, and cooling systems on a physical grid. Expand through 15 departments, from your first lab to GPU halls, research facilities, and a supercompute campus. Develop rooms through four levels and watch their interiors evolve. POWER UP YOUR HARDWARE Discover six generations of fictional GPUs. Install faster chips, increase rack capacity, and improve efficiency. Move equipment for free as your facility grows and your layout changes. TURN COMPUTE INTO CONTRACTS Choose inference, training, research, enterprise, and urgent workloads. Balance cash, Research Points, and reputation rewards. Run concurrent contracts that share your available compute, and deliver work to earn your payout. KEEP THE CAMPUS RUNNING Balance electricity, cooling, payroll, maintenance, and room overhead. Equipment wears down and can fail. Hire and train technicians who walk through your facility to build, install, upgrade, service, and repair your infrastructure. RESEARCH AND AUTOMATE Invest Research Points in compute, power, cooling, operations, and automation. Unlock permanent Auto Accept through gameplay and build an operation that can handle larger clients. PLAY AT YOUR PACE Follow Nori's guided introduction or skip it and explore. Pan and zoom around your miniature 3D campus, tackle challenges, and return to offline progress. Offline earnings, expenses, wear, and work are capped at 30 minutes per offline shift. FREE PROGRESSION, OPTIONAL PURCHASES All 15 rooms and normal research and contract progression are available through play. Optional Research Point packs speed up research while earned requirements still apply. The one-time Supporter Pack adds a badge and one active contract slot sharing your existing compute. It does not increase the offline cap. No subscriptions or forced ads. Core gameplay works offline, with progress saved on your device and backed up to iCloud when available. Optional purchases and advertising services require a connection and may be unavailable. Play in English, Japanese, German, or French. Start small. Build smarter. You need more compute. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open your device to see rack details beside your campus and wider management layouts. Controls adapt around folding regions and camera cutouts, while your selected rack and current page stay with you as the layout changes.
