Zoo Keeper
Run a sunny cartoon zoo for a 10-day season: build enclosures, feed and clean up after eight species, catch escaped animals and earn tips from happy visitors.
Zoo Keeper is a cheerful zoo management simulation played on a sunny grid of fenced plots. Build habitats for bunnies, flamingos, penguins, zebras, monkeys, lions, pandas and elephants, then keep every enclosure fed, clean and happy. Visitors stroll the sandy paths, pay at the gate and tip generously at enclosures with happy animals, while grumpy animals earn complaints that drag your star rating down.
Each day lasts about a minute. Hunger meters drain, poop piles up and the pace rises every day, so you juggle feeding, cleaning and buying crates of greens, fish and meat. Neglect an enclosure and its animal may escape and scare visitors away until you tap it to catch it. Happy pairs have babies, rainy days and heatwaves change the crowd and appetites, and on days three, six and nine an inspector checks your rating. Between days you spend profits on keepers who clean automatically, a better ticket booth, snack kiosks and billboards, and during the day you buy land, add animals, enrichment toys and auto-feeders.
This zoo tycoon game suits anyone who likes busy but friendly time management. Reaching later days unlocks new species permanently for future seasons. Tip: buy an auto-feeder early for your hungriest enclosure so you can focus on cleaning.
How to play
Tap an empty plot to build an enclosure and tap a For Sale plot to buy land. Tap an enclosure to feed its animals, tap poop to clean it, and use the + badge for upgrades. Buy food crates with the buttons at the bottom. Keep animals happy so visitors tip you and your star rating stays up. Tap escaped animals to catch them. Survive all 10 days for the best score; the zoo closes if your rating reaches zero.
