Games Like Monkey Mart: Shop and Tycoon Games to Play Next

Monkey Mart is a tycoon game in its simplest form: do a job, earn money, spend it on something that makes the job easier. Once your store is fully built and staffed, the loop runs out. The good news is that plenty of other browser games use the same idea with a different twist. These are the ones on this site, grouped by what they have in common with Monkey Mart.

If you liked walking around a growing shop

• My Super Tiny Market — the closest match. A small shop, shelves to fill, a queue to serve, and upgrades that make it bigger.
• My Perfect Hotel — the same walk-and-stand controls, but you clean rooms and collect cash instead of stocking shelves. The hotel grows floor by floor.
• Barbershop Inc — customers wait for haircuts instead of bananas. Hire barbers so you can stop cutting hair yourself.
• Cat Coffee Shop — a café where the customers are cats; brew, serve and decorate.

If you liked the farm side

• Chicky Farm — chickens, eggs and a farm that expands as you sell.
• Idle Cowshed — milk cows, sell the milk, buy more cows. It is Monkey Mart's milk line turned into a whole game.
• Game of Farmers and Harvest Simulator — bigger fields and machinery, if you enjoyed planting and harvesting most.

If you liked making the products

The Papa's games by Flipline Studios are about the part Monkey Mart automates: actually making the food. Each one has its own restaurant — Papa's Freezeria for sundaes, Burgeria for burgers, Pizzeria, Cupcakeria, Donuteria, Hot Doggeria, Wingeria and Cheeseria. Customers order, you build it step by step, and you are scored on how close you got. They are more hands-on than Monkey Mart and a lot busier once the lunch rush starts. For something gentler, try Yummy Ice Cream Factory or Grandma's Delicious Cakes.

If you liked watching the money pile up

• Idle Gold Miner and Idle Lumber Inc — managers run everything, and your job is deciding what to upgrade next.
• Idle Money Tree — a tree that drops coins. Pure number-go-up.
• Merge Cakes and Veggie Merge — combine two of the same thing into a better one. Quick to learn, hard to stop.
• Idle Breakout — Breakout that plays itself while you buy more balls.

If you liked the monkey

Swing Monkey has nothing to do with shops, but it does have a monkey, and swinging it through the jungle on ropes is a nice change of pace after an hour behind the till.

Which one first?

If you want more of the same, open My Super Tiny Market. If you want to be busier, pick any Papa's game. If you want to relax and let the numbers climb, start an idle game in one tab and your Monkey Mart store in another. All of them run in the browser and save on this device, and every one is on this site's games page.
