I’m a Carnival Tycoon!
Tue Nov 26 2024 Love&Light*I’ve been playing this game for several months now. At first, I didn’t download it because it had the word “idle” in the name. But, there is nothing idle about this game - except that you earn money in the the background while you aren’t playing. I hope in the future to see cheaper prices, mostly!! Things are Very Expensive in this game.. I also hope to see at least 3 times the amount of Gold Card Blitzes - (The Card aspect of the game is one of the most fun things about it. You collect cards and complete sets to eventually complete the entire album. There is a very active FB community - that focuses mainly on card trading. I’ve made friends there and gotten a lot of help as well as been able to help a lot of other people!) - People complain about the difficulty of the game and the card collecting but it seems like it’s about as hard as any other game that keeps your attention.. Somedays, you only get to play for a few minutes and some days you get lucky and can play for an hour, or so. Also, if you are active on FB and discord, you can get free stuff everyday. It’d be awesome if you got more than 15 batteries for free at a time! But, the fact that they give out free stuff at all is pretty cool. :)
Fun slot machine game
Tue Jul 22 2025 JNT281Fun game, no ads, keeps you going for quite a while, lots of side games, lots of tiny constant bonuses. But it’s really nothing to do with the carnival, it’s all just about the slot machine and spins. If you win tournaments, you win spins. Complete things, get spins. You can build carnivals that become repetitive and then move on to the next one, but that’s all the game is centered around, basically just a slot machine. Yes, you get cards too, but those are all just tons of duplicates minus the rare ones you actually need. And if you don’t need something on the slot machine, like shields when you’re full, you’ll get them every 2-3 spins. But if it’s something that you actually need, you’re going to be spinning forever. Before you get what you need, generations will be born and forgotten. Empires will rise and fall. New species will evolve into existence and become extinct. You will witness the heat death of the universe before you get what you need. But it really is a fun little mindless, pointless game for a little while if you just like playing slot machine games
UPDATE : They rip off IP so blatantly and unashamedly that it’s almost impressive. Everything from Popeye to Mario Kart to DC and Marvel to Star Wars to Avatar. You name it, they manage to put some unlicensed version of it in the game
UPDATED UPDATE : Pokémon, Forrest Gump, Fantastic 4…
Makes me happy!
Tue Nov 19 2024 Erica nadalCarnival Tycoon: Idle Game Review I’ve been playing Carnival Tycoon: Idle Game for a bit now, and I have to say—it’s pretty addictive. There’s something super satisfying about starting with a tiny, bare-bones carnival and turning it into this huge, bustling attraction full of rides and food stalls. It’s the kind of game you can play in short bursts or let it run in the background while you do other things, which is perfect if you’re busy. What I really enjoy is the progression. Every upgrade you make feels rewarding, whether it’s seeing a ride become more elaborate or watching your income skyrocket. The offline earning system is a game-changer too—you’re still making money even when you’re not actively playing, so it doesn’t feel like you’re stuck waiting around for progress. The graphics are bright and fun, and the overall vibe of the game is cheerful and lighthearted. There are little events and challenges that keep things from getting boring, though I will admit progress can slow down unless you’re okay with watching ads or spending a bit of money. All in all, if you’re into idle games and like the idea of running your own carnival, this is definitely worth a download. It’s easy to pick up, and it’s just plain fun.
love it
Tue Jun 10 2025 bossmanarroniCarnival Tycoon is an absolute gem of a simulation game that brings the magic of the carnival to life in the most charming and engaging way. From the moment I started building my first attraction, I was hooked. The game perfectly balances strategy and creativity, letting you design and manage your own carnival empire with ease. The graphics are vibrant and fun, the animations are smooth, and the overall atmosphere captures that nostalgic, exciting carnival vibe.
What really stands out is the variety of rides, food stalls, games, and decorations you can unlock and upgrade. There’s always something new to look forward to, and it never feels repetitive. The game also does a fantastic job of rewarding progress without making it overly grindy or dependent on in-app purchases. The challenges and goals keep things fresh and satisfying.
I especially love how intuitive the controls are and how smoothly the game runs, even on older devices. It’s clear the developers put a lot of care into making this experience fun for all ages. If you're a fan of tycoon games or just want something lighthearted and addicting, Carnival Tycoon is a must-download. Highly recommend! 🌟
Please realize that most of us cannot afford to buy your battle packs.
Tue Nov 19 2024 Brittni J.This game is generally fun; I enjoy all of the different little mini games that are available, and it's fun to be able to try to earn rewards and prizes. The best part about the game is that there's a new challenge to complete every day; however, we never get enough time to actually finish the challenges. They need to be spaced out and given more time like the partner events are, which the flower one you did last time was the first one I ever got to complete.
The gold card situation is also VERY frustrating... People that have been playing for the entirety of the album and play every day should be able to complete their albums at LEAST once without having to spend money. It is unfortunate and apparent, however, that the game basically forces you to spend money because it completely stops giving new cards at a certain point. In fact, I still need 8 golds and 1 regular 3* card and have done for the past month or so. It is discouraging knowing that we will never finish our albums, OR be able to keep our pets because level 9 is IMPOSSIBLE to get past. Please adjust these things and the game will be much better! Thank you!
Love
Tue Mar 18 2025 TinyShark569This is honestly one of my favorite games. My favorite type of game is an “idle” game because with a busy life, I can leave it alone for a few hours and it will still accumulate. But I love that when I do come back to it, it is right there and ready to go. I enjoy playing all of the mini games as well. But I do wish a few things were a bit easier. Sometimes all I do is watch ads and spin and then only get two spots ahead of where I was previously in the mini games or when opening card packs, you get the same cards over and over and over again then when you trade them in, it is still all of the same cards AGAIN. That honestly is really discouraging but I still love to play none the less! My favorite mini game is either the pigs or the treasure hunt. My least favorite is either the car or the flowers. But their Facebook page and discord is updated daily so there’s free spins! I really enjoy playing this game and I will definitely recommend this game to anyone who is looking for one to play!
Similar to Monopoly, Ruins the fun for players
Fri Feb 28 2025 DragonflytothemountainsSpinning the wheel, just to get coins reminds me of rolling the dice, in Monoplay just to build cities through different boards, Just like in this game where building a bunch of attractions for guests and end up having the spin the wheel to steal coins other player's theme parks reminds me of Monoplay stealing coins from other players, This doesn't seem fair to anyone since if players don't have shields their coins get stolen I get that this game is supposed to be for fun, stealing coins from other players just to build up only your themepark, doesn't seem fair to anyone playing this game, players should be able to help each other instead of stealing coins from each other what's the point of making an theme park if everything you have is stolen from you, or other players, I played this game for an 1 hour and ended up figuring out that this game is way too similar to Monoplay, I just thought this was a game where you could just focus on your own theme park like a regular tycoon game without having to steal anyone's coins that's not fair for any player who loves playing tycoon games and only wants to focus on their tycoon and not steal from anyone else, please fix this this isn't fair to anybody
Idle Games
Sat May 24 2025 GrantaloonI don’t play a lot of mobile games, so this is maybe the first “idol game” I’ve played; but I expected a bit more decision making. The whole game revolves around luck and time. It handrails you into doing very few things at a time, while the rest of the gameplay is spent staring at a roulette wheel. Of course, if you want to spend money, you progress down the single path forward faster… but why would I do that? Because after I spend that money, I’ll still be staring at a roulette wheel while waiting to progress on something further down the path. The problem I think comes from how there are no branches on this path; each level starts and ends the same way no matter what you do in the level itself, which is just purchasing all the ride improvements using time and luck. I think I felt myself becoming actively stupider somehow while playing this game; not to be too harsh. And the barrage of in-game purchases was quite annoying when you’re playing an “idol game” and don’t want to pay attention. I applause the creators at the sheer amount of monetization that is shoved into the game, none of which was required. For reference, total time spent playing was maybe a few hours before getting very bored and seeing the pattern.
Great game
Tue Jun 24 2025 BeatrizMaldonado12397This is such a great idle game! It has great visuals and several different side quest (spin the wheel, raids, plane attacks) to add more interaction and fun. Also has a bit of a competitive side where it allows you to attack players who have attacked your park and holds competitive side games like race cars with other players on your team. There are also PLENTY of opportunities to gain more coins outside of the game like Facebook, discord group, and much more.
What really sets Carnival Tycoon apart is how rewarding the gameplay loop feels. Progression is steady, and there’s always something new unlocking to keep you hooked. Events are frequent, with special challenges that let you earn exclusive prizes and costumes for your park characters. The community aspect is strong too — being part of a team adds motivation and makes the competition more exciting. Whether you’re logging in for a quick coin grab or spending an hour optimizing your park, the game delivers satisfying depth for an idle title. Highly recommended for casual players and idle game fans alike!
Enjoying the game
Tue Nov 19 2024 gatorvilleorbustI have totally enjoyed the game. It’s an easy way to spend time in my day. We now have the teams but it isn’t clear how that benefits us just yet. Wish you would have been more clear. We can’t effectively communicate with our teams because it breaks our texts apart. We also can’t tell if we are being helped with batteries or not. I love the game but after spending thousands of batteries to spin and countless coins the gold cards don’t seem to appear very often. I have needed 6 gold cards to finish my sets for the last week and they aren’t appearing. I do not know how to trade cards and don’t really care to because they should appear in the game at some point. I also haven’t seen the 3 batteries appear on my spins but a couple of times in the entire time I have been playing. Please understand these things aren’t enough of an issue to make me stop playing because I enjoy the game but I wish it would be a little easier to advance sometimes.
