The idea behind the Spa Empire game is to create a smooth, organized experience for managing a wellness business. Players start with a small spa and take care of their first clients. Then, they will start expanding, modernizing and developing their own spa until it is busy, well-organized, and successful. Progress is clearly visible in the game. Initially, there is only a small treatment area. But then it expands, offering a lot of services, attracting a large number of clients and requiring a great deal of decision-making.
That development creates a nice rhythm. Each upgrade will affect the way of working at the spa, and each expansion increases the satisfaction of the player that he has created a solid company. For players that like to work on tycoon games, but prefer lighter versions, that give them enough possibility to improve and optimize while being easy to learn, Rocket Games' version of Spa Empire is perfect.

Game Overview
Spa Empire is a casual management game about customer service, expansion and continuous investment. Guests come to relax and get treated. Your task is to keep the spa running smoothly and continuously expand it to become a larger spa. The game's cycle is quite easy to follow. You generate revenue from treating guests. You Invest the generated revenue back into the company. Once you've made some money, you'll be able to open better services and arrange the interior of the spa to operate more efficiently.
It's what sets Spa Empire apart from other tycoon games (such as those centered around factories, shops or restaurants) that contributes to its softness. In Spa Empire you're building a wellness space. So although the management aspect is also present in Spa Empire (just as in all tycoons), the theme of creating a wellness space provides a calmer approach than other tycoons. However, when the spa grows and attracts more and more guests, the service process becomes increasingly important. Also, the role of employees becomes more significant as does the contrast between an unorganized set up and a neatly organized one. Therefore, Spa Empire offers a calmer yet rewarding tycoon experience.
