About Zoo Builder

Build a zoo into a thriving attraction with this idle management game. You start with 500 in funds and two active pens that steadily produce Animals, Visitors, and Feed. Tap Collect to convert that output into money, then spend it on Upgrades for faster production or Expand to open more of your six pens. Each day brings an operating cost, so the challenge is keeping income ahead of expenses. Stay in the black with high satisfaction and your zoo levels up every five days.

How to Play Zoo Builder

Your active pens produce Animals, Visitors, and Feed on a steady tick. Tap Collect to bank all three as money. Reinvest in Upgrade (each adds +0.2x production speed, costing 50 times the next upgrade number) or Expand to unlock the next of your six Pen slots (cost rises with slot number and level). Tapping an active Pen adds to its current progress. A daily cost is deducted automatically — keep your balance above zero. Every five days with satisfaction over 60, you level up.

Controls

Tap Collect, Upgrade, and Expand, or tap an active Pen to boost it. P to pause. Space to start or restart.

Tips & Strategies

Each active pen raises satisfaction a little per tick, keeping you on pace to level up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pens are there?

Six pen slots in total, with two active at the start. The rest unlock with the Expand button as your budget grows.

What ends a run?

Bankruptcy. If a daily cost drops your money below zero, the game ends and your highest money total becomes your score.
