Employees move significantly slower than Emily does, which means it’s usually faster to just do everything yourself. The biggest source of frustration is the employee assistants, who are not only slow moving but pretty dumb as well. However, neither the time management nor the strategy portions of the game are pulled off terribly well. Anyone who’s a fan of the store’s treats will enjoy serving Dilly bars, Blizzards and other familiar treats, and the game has a fairly good sense of humor with touches like "brain freeze" moments, a crisis tha thapens when a customer eats a treat too fast and you must take them a hot hamburger to bring their temperature back down to normal. Their wages are deducted from the day’s profits.ĭQ Tycoon is a cute idea. You can also hire assistants to work in the same store as you and automatically fill customers’ orders. You can decide which store to work at each day, and whichever stores you’re not working you’ll have to assign employees to work for you. What makes a DQ Tycoon a little different from other time management games is that although a new store location is added each week, you’re still responsible for running the previous stores as well.
If not, you’ll have to go back and replay certain days to try to improve your performance. If total earnings reach or exceed the minimum amount, you’ll get to advance to the next week.
The goal is to earn as much money as possible each day, which goes towards an overall weekly total.
In between levels you can shop for upgrades like faster machines, play a cake-decorating mini-game to restock the fridge, and read about fun DQ trivia like the fact that the first store opened up in 1940.Įach chapter in the game is divided up into a seven-day work week, and the last day of the week involves working the treat prep counter making cones and sundaes by matching the correct ingredients. Later in the game there are two- and three-step orders, like assembling banana splits and dipped cones. When a customer arrives, Emily clicks on them to take their order, then, much like a DQ server in real life, walks over to the correct machine and presses a button while the treat gets made. Emily stands behind the ice cream shop counter serving tasty soft serve cones, Blizzards, Peanut Buster Parfaits, banana splits and other treats to a steady stream of customers. In DQ Tycoon you’ll try your hand at managing a chain of stores selling various tasty treats.Īlthough there are some strategy elements to DQ Tycoon, the game is basically a straightforward DQ-branded time management game.
The little store on the edge of town hasn’t been profitable in years, but hopefully Emily can turn things around. Emily’s favorite place to spend a hot summer day is the local Dairy Queen (DQ), so when she sees a Help Wanted sign in the window it seems like a match made in heaven.
