Chai Tycoon
Play Chai Tycoon now · free, no download, no sign-up
Chai Tycoon puts you in charge of a small roadside tea stall that you grow into a busy cafe. You walk your chaiwala between the kettle, the samosa fryer, the lassi churn and the jalebi pan, carry stacks to the counters, scoop up the cash and spend it on new stations, counters and helpers.
It is a relaxed but busy idle-tycoon game for anyone who enjoys watching a business grow. Each day has a rush hour, VIP customers and a happy meter to keep up, and a guided first minute shows you the ropes.
How to play
- Move your chaiwala and walk past a station to pick up a stack of chai, samosas or other items.
- Walk behind a counter to fill its tray, and customers will take what they ordered.
- Customers pay into a cash pile; walk over it to collect the money.
- Stand on a build pad to spend coins on new stations, counters, helpers, a cashier and finally the rooftop cafe.
- Serve quickly to keep the happy meter up; slow service makes customers leave and tips drop.
- Each day lasts two and a half minutes, and your stall and upgrades are kept between days.

Tips
- Carry full stacks rather than making many short trips.
- Hire helpers early so they carry for you and keep earning while you are away, up to two hours.
- Prioritise counters for items customers already ask for before adding new stations.
- Gold-turban VIP customers pay triple, so serve them first.
- Stay near the busiest counters during rush hour to keep the happy meter high.
