Dear ZooKeepers!

No matter how much we love animals and want to provide them with every comfort. In order to stock the zoo brilliantly with great food or attractions for the animals, funds are needed. The funds will be provided by tourists. A satisfied tourist means better care and comfort for the animals. Take care of the visitors and your Zoo will be unique.

Tickets and expectations

No ticket = no fun. Buy or bye. Every tourist visiting our zoo starts their adventure by buying a ticket. The price of the ticket depends on the current level of development of the zoo. To increase the level of development of the zoo, click on its gate and then use the panel that appears on the screen.

“Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” Every Zookeeper's problem is that tourists expect a lot. We need to meet and even exceed their expectations. Every tourist in our game has specific expectations of what they would like to see in the zoo, so it is important to take care of the diversity of species. This will allow you to meet all the expectations of visitors which brings us extra rewards.

VIP Tourist and happenings

Every day there is a chance that a special quest will visit our zoo. The VIPs require more attention to fulfill their wishes, but they are quite wealthy, so we want them to be as happy as possible with their visit, which will lead to faster development of the zoo.

To properly prepare for a VIP visit, it would be best to have a least two different species of animals in the habitats and some infrastructure.

While playing from time to time a special quest will appear. You will need to gather a few tourists and employees in one place for a special lecture. It can be done by using drag and drop. After setting them up in the highlighted place and when the time is up, the quest will start, completing itself after a few hours.

Star System and prestige

There are 3 star quests in each zoo. Completing them is rewarded with stars. A certain number of stars unlocks sculpture decorations, which provide permanent prestige bonuses and can be purchased almost for free.

The prestige grows with each fulfilled tourist's wish (by 1) and decreases with each unsuccessful one (by 2). The prestige level affects the number of tourists in the zoo and allows you to raise the level of the zoo center, which unlocks more expensive tickets and additional items for purchase. There is a prestige cap for each level of the zoo center. Once you reach it you can buy the next level and earn more prestige points.

The prestige adds a little challenge to the game. The more prestige you have, the more tourists will visit your zoo.

Sculptures

In ZooKeeper, there are some hidden prizes (sculptures of the most valuable species) that you can obtain by collecting stars. Each purchased sculpture permanently raises the reputation level by 1 point. However, remember that in one zoo you can have only one sculpture of a given type.

Create the Zoo of your childhood dreams!

ZooKeeper Team
