Create and manage your own virtual website in Web Tycoon, a business simulation game where you attract visitors, hire writers, and manage finances to grow your site.
Web Tycoon is a single-player business simulation game developed and published by David Galley. In Web Tycoon, players take on the role of a fictional website owner and must manage all aspects of running a successful online business.
The main goal in Web Tycoon is to grow your site by attracting more visitors each month. This is done by hiring writers to create engaging content, managing finances to pay salaries and advertising costs, keeping up with emerging technologies, responding to events, and making strategic decisions. The more visitors your site receives, the more money you make through advertising revenue.
As the game progresses, players unlock new features like forums, paid subscriptions, online stores, and mobile apps. The simulation offers real-time insights into traffic sources, user engagement metrics, and financial summaries to inform your strategy. Balancing budgets, staffing, content creation, advertising spend, and technology investments are all crucial to running a profitable site.
With its simple interface and rewarding gameplay, Web Tycoon offers an entertaining but realistic look into the challenges of managing an online business. Its open-ended structure allows players to experiment with different approaches at their own pace. Reviews praise Web Tycoon for its strategic depth despite the accessible presentation.
