About

Grow Sell

Read full description

Grow Sell is a cozy idle game about building a tiny food business with your own hands: grow it, cook it, sell it. Plant seeds in the Garden and wait for the harvest. Take the ingredients to the Kitchen and cook dishes that sell for far more than what went into them. Stock the shelves of your Shop — customers walk in, pick something up, and queue up with it. Tap the one at the front to take their money. WHAT YOU DO • Plant and harvest crops, from carrots to artichokes • Cook dishes from what you grew — every recipe is worth more than its parts • Stock shelves and serve the customers who come for them • Upgrade plots, stoves and shelves: higher level means faster work and better prices • Unlock new seeds and recipes as you level up WHILE YOU'RE AWAY Your shop keeps living without you. Come back to a full queue of customers and a summary of what happened. EVERY DAY Three daily tasks and a streak that grows over a week. Keep it up for seven days and the chest turns into a super prize. ALSO • Leaderboard — see where you stand among other players • Play in English or Russian, switch any time • No timers pressuring you, no punishment for leaving Free to play, with optional ads for bonuses.
