About This Game


From the creator of Big Pharma comes a brand new economic simulation game. Megaquarium follows in the footsteps of classic theme park management tycoon games and adds an aquatic spin!

A living simulation

Starting with just a few tanks and the most basic of livestock, you’ll grow your aquarium to a thronging metropolis filled with hundreds of guests, tens of staff and a multitude of different aquatic lifeforms, each with their own unique care requirements.


Design your exhibits

Megaquarium features almost 100 different marine species including fish, sharks, crustaceans, corals, jellyfish, other invertebrates and even a turtle! You’ll be spoilt for choice as you design, decorate and populate your tanks.

The right staff for the job

You won’t get far without the right staff. Choose who to hire based on their skills and future potential. Will you train up a team of multi-disciplined staff or a set of super-focussed experts? You’ll have to weigh up the pros and cons of each strategy and work out what is right for your aquarium.

Research new animals and technology

As guests experience your displays you’ll earn points which you can assign to discovering new livestock and equipment. Keep upgrading and expanding your aquarium and work your way up to the most prestigious animals and displays in the aquarium industry.

Manage your finances

The latest fish might look cool, but have you considered its impact on your aquarium’s bottom line. Tricky animals may require new staff to be hired, expensive fish food or supplements and the best tanks are a hefty investment! As aquarium curator you’ll need to master creativity and economics to succeed.

Manage your guests!

Keep your guests happy by providing them with seating, food, drinks and toilet facilities. Then at the end of their visit, direct them through the gift shop to boost your profits!

Curator school

Start your career in the campaign mode where you’ll learn everything you need to know about designing and managing an aquarium. Each of the 10 levels challenges you to build an aquarium with unique gameplay conditions and objectives, while new features and concepts are explained along the way.

Dive into the sandbox

Next explore sandbox mode where, with customisable settings and a random challenge generator, you can find virtually unlimited fish-related gameplay!

Easy to learn, difficult to master

Running an inefficient aquarium is easy. To really thrive and take on the greatest challenges you’ll need a lateral thinking brain and attention to detail. Will you group your animals by food type, water quality or something else entirely? Will you locate your equipment in a centralised hub using pumps or spread them out embracing the zoning system? How will you optimise your layout so that visitors can find your tanks and staff can easily access them?


Every decision you make in Megaquarium has consequences. Your choice of animals, filters, tanks, staff and layout all have subtle and far reaching effects on each other. Experiment, adjust, learn, reapply and most importantly, have fun!

Features

  • 10 level ‘learn the game’ campaign
  • Sandbox mode with full customisation and random challenge generator
  • 97 species of livestock to discover each with their own unique care requirements
  • Over 100 different objects to place including filters, skimmers, nitrate reactors, chillers, heaters, food boxes, equipment stations, doors, gates, food and drink dispensers, balloon stands, decorations, paint and more!
  • Plan staff talks down to the subject, time and frequency to increase your point income even further!
  • Gift shop and guest facilities
  • Fully featured theming and decoration system

I've been addicted to playing this game for a long time. Some goals in career mode can be slow going and frustrating, but my love for aquariums, simulation games, animal games, and building games far outweighs the downsides that I've experienced.

Megaquarium is a charming and deeply engaging simulation and management game that invites players to build, customize, and operate their very own public aquarium. Developed by Twice Circled, the game offers a refreshing twist on the traditional tycoon formula by combining the intricacies of marine life care with the challenges of designing an appealing and profitable visitor attraction. With its accessible yet layered gameplay, Megaquarium strikes a fine balance between creative freedom and strategic management, making it an excellent choice for fans of simulation games and aquarium enthusiasts alike. The heart of Megaquarium lies in its detailed ecosystem simulation. Players begin with a modest setup but quickly find themselves tasked with creating complex aquatic habitats tailored to the needs of a diverse range of fish and marine creatures. Each species has unique requirements in terms of tank size, water temperature, filtration, lighting, and compatible tank mates. The game forces...

I LOVE this game. I have clock over 300 hours easy on this game. about 200 hours on my other account. This is a simple fun aquarium building sims game. Simple game where Some challenges later on get a little harder [ Level 8 where you can only have one fish per speices in tank ] but nothing over complicated. What you do get is a game where you just get so focus that You build this mega aquarium ( XD said the title of the game!!!!), Now its dark outside. The best part of it all is you can zoom right on in and walk around in your masterpeice view all the fish and be apart on what you built. Feels so good. This game is not over complicated the fresh water dlc adds some depth with ph balance. some fish cant be housed with others, Some are greedy eaters, fin nippers, It has a right amount of depth that its not over complicated, but you have some thinking. Like planning out your workers, Zoning, leveling up your staff, gift shops ect. You level up and get new spieces of fish, and t...
