My Free Zoo is a zoo simulator where your goal is to transform an unpopular zoo into a popular tourist attraction.
If you’ve played Zoo Tycoon (or pretty much any Tycoon game), you’ll know exactly how this game works. It’s a sim where you need to build, manage, and promote your zoo in order to increase its value and attract paying customers.
These type of strategy games are very addicting and are just huge time drains because they’re super fun to play.
My Free Zoo isn’t the best name (it sounds kind of tacky), but the game does somewhat deliver.
You play as a zoo director and your job is to save it from going bankrupt. You can do all the essentials- build paths, habitats, provide food/water, entertainment, and even equipment for your animals. You can nurse anything from lions to grizzlies to even dinosaurs. You can also build snack booths, exotic exhibits, and decorations as well.
As you progress, you’ll unlock more exclusive animals like meerkats and elephants.
The game offers some unique buildings like nurseries for your animals’ offspring to delight visitors.
You earn Zoo Dollars which are used to promote, build, and reinvest back into your zoo. You can host seasonal events, take on quests, breed animals, and even compete with online players. My Free Zoo is online-based which is something that more and more tycoon sims are doing nowadays. you can form “friendships” and interact with other players, which is kind of interesting. But it doesn’t really add much to the game. You’ll be playing solo for most of it and won’t care for online interaction.
The graphics are colorful and appealing. They’re detailed and offer a variety of unique decorations for each animal and building. However, every animal is a clone of itself and so are the buildings.
The game does play pretty well, but there are some issues.
For starters, it’s pretty much a flash game. The game runs on the slower side and it does require pay-to-win in order to get things done faster. There are daily login bonuses and other ads that appear on the screen. It plays pretty much like an app or Facebook game, so its pain point is to make you wait unless you buy their currency.
Other than that, My Free Zoon is entertaining and makes a good idle game to kill some time. It’s free, but only if you’re willing to deal with wait times. It supports full-screen play and window mode as well. If you’re looking for a casual free tycoon game, try it out. It plays in the browser so you can start right away without downloading it.
