National Park Tycoon

Welcome to your national park. Your beautiful national park awaits! Balance preserving nature with your visitor experience as you build peaceful trails, cozy campsites, fun activities, and welcoming amenities. Manage everything from rangers to wildlife to finances. Every decision you make influences your park's scores and your visitors' enjoyment. Earn badges and meet objectives to unlock the next park in the game. Or, just play for fun in "Free Build" mode. Start with a blank slate, load an existing map, or try out the random map generator. Bring in some visitors by building hiking trails, activities and more. The "Build" button offers tons of things to add to your park. You may want to start with some comforting park amenities like a visitor center, restroom, and benches, then build an activity like a kayak/canoe rental, and finally design your first official hiking trail! Add campsites to encourage your visitors to stay awhile. Add cozy campsites anywhere you'd like—nestled among shady trees, along peaceful riverbanks, or at the base of majestic mountains! Your visitors will pitch tents, build fires, and enjoy the serenity of nature at your campsites. Watch your little people explore your little park. Every visitor has scores like hunger, excitement and mood. Everything in your park affects your visitors' scores. Make sure to place restrooms and restaurants throughout your park so your visitors are never too far from a bathroom or a bite to eat when they need it! Hire park rangers to keep your park safe and clean. Without rangers, your trails will become littered with trash and blocked by fallen logs, your visitors will get lost and maybe even attacked by bears, and your facilities will close from lack of maintenance. Don't forget to hire rangers! Keep your wild animals wild. There is a circle of life in your park. Predators eat prey, and prey eat plants and berries. Building up your park too much will infringe on animal habitats, making them more likely to wander onto your trails and steal food from visitors. Keep an eye on your animal populations to make sure none of them become endangered! Meet objectives to unlock new parks. There are three goals that you need to meet in each park in order to unlock the next one. They can be related to finances, animal welfare, visitor experience, etc. There are also 50+ badges you can collect as you play through all the parks. You may even stumble upon a hidden badge along the way... Have fun building your national park, and happy trails!
