Our take on Prison Tycoon®: Under New Management
Players who need a tightly constrained management challenge may bounce off at Sandbox Mode, where unlimited resources remove much of the resource pressure and permit unrestricted construction.
What is Prison Tycoon®: Under New Management?
Construct and furnish a prison, planning rooms, paths, power, and water systems.
Hire staff for different roles, assign duties, promote employees, and dismiss them. Prisoners require nutrition, exercise, and climate control, while therapies include virtual reality, zero-gravity rooms, hologram rooms, dance therapy, and romantic visits. Maintain facilities and repair them for resource management, then place cameras, watchtowers, and guards to respond to escapes and fights. Five climates introduce different challenges, and groups of prisoners can arrive together to raise difficulty. A room-cloning tool speeds repeated construction. Sandbox Mode provides unlimited resources for building with unrestricted quantities of rooms, therapies, and staff.
