Our take on Mall Craze
Mall Craze moves the simulation focus from managing a single business to shaping an entire shopping center. It combines visual customization with staffing, advertising, loans, and pricing, replacing a conventional character-led structure with retail administration.
What is Mall Craze?
Create and run a retail complex by selecting stores such as a video-game equipment outlet or a florist, then altering its visual style.
The work continues once construction ends: staff can be added or dismissed, promotional efforts can be started, borrowing can supply funds, and store prices can be changed. The game brings together layout choices and ongoing decisions about employees, marketing, debt, and the center’s financial results.
