About the Game
Build your own shop, hire employees, and compete with up to 8 players in a chaotic mall where success comes from smart business decisions or cunning sabotage.
Pick the store that fits you best, decorate it however you want, fill your shelves and stock up your shop, your rules.
Up to 8 players in the same mall fighting for the same customers. Undercut prices, steal strategies, or take a shadier route sabotage is always an option.
Head to the board room, propose new policies, and vote with other players. Smart proposals can give you the edge or mess things up for everyone else.
Broke the rules and got caught? Your face goes on ShameTV for everyone to see. Risk it or play it safe your call.
Hire employees who will support you on your rise!

A quick note first 💬
Hey everyone,
First of all, the growing player count makes us incredibly happy. But with such rapid growth, bugs are popping up just as fast, and we're doing our best to keep up.
We have a single developer on the team, and they've been fixing bugs nonstop all day long. We're aware of the issues with police and shelves. Rather than slapping on temporary fixes, we prefer to build proper, lasting solutions. So we ask for a little more patience.
Patches will keep rolling out throughout the day, morning, noon, and night. Thank you so much for sticking with us, reporting bugs, and being patient. 🙏
