📰 Newspaper Tycoon: build your media empire

Start with a canvas bag and a pile of papers. Finish with a media empire that spans the globe.

Newspaper Tycoon is a long-haul idle game with button-based gameplay. Build your business over weeks and months, with a few minutes a day, whenever you like.

🚲 How it works

• 📰 Deliver papers. Use /work to earn cash and XP.
• 🔧 Upgrade your equipment. Improve your bike in /garage, then grow your operation in /business.
• 🏢 Build your business. Progress from paperboy to newsstand, print shop, national paper and beyond — twelve tiers in all.
• 💤 Earn while you're away. Unlock passive income when you own a newsstand, then collect your earnings when you return.
• 🎁 Keep your streak alive. Claim your daily reward and come back for more.

🌍 From paperboy to media mogul

Reach the top as a Global Media Conglomerate, then go public.

Start again with shares to spend on permanent perks, making each new run faster than the last.

👑 Build your empire. After your first go-public, /empire unlocks. Buy thirty media outlets across six regions, and own them all to become a Media Baron.
