Zoo Tycoon is a tycoon game created by BlockfaceBob's group, Block Evolution Studios, and inspired by the hit video game series of the same name. The goal of the game is to build a zoo and find animals to fill it.

Gameplay
The game takes place on both a woodland and desert surrounded by mountains (snow only appears during wintertime). After customizing their avatar, the player is given a plot of land and a staff building to start their zoo.

To earn money, the player must open a till which will produce money. Anytime, they can receive the money from the till (starting its money production over), upgrade it so it will produce money at a faster rate, and open up to 4 tills.

The player builds the zoo by purchasing constructions. They must have an enclosement exclusive to a species in order to store such species.

To capture an animal, it depends on how the animal can be captured. If the animal requires being shot with a tranquilizer, the player should carry a gun with a dart, aim, and shoot it. The animal will fall down and can be collected. Otherwise, the player can just walk to the animal and collect it. (The default dart gun can only hold 2 darts, however, more guns can be unlocked with gamepasses, which allow more darts. Free darts refill in 300 seconds.)

A quad bike can be purchased for means of traveling faster than walking. Although not part of the zoo, the player can buy and upgrade their own house. Gamepasses can be bought to enhance and ease gameplay.

During winter, presents randomly spawn over the environment. It can be collected by walking over it. Collecting presents can earn in-game items.

Trivia

 * In real life, zoos mainly acquire animals from other zoos, rather than capturing them from the wild.
 * Some of the locations of the animals are not suitable for them in reality, such as elephants and ostriches in a desert, especially in the winter, where snow is common.
 * Interestingly, with animals that currently have babies supported, adults captured will turn into babies, when there are enough adults in the zoo.
