Pick Your First Exhibits Carefully
  • Start small and focused: Choose themes that are cheap to curate and build (like Ancient Egypt, Dinosaurs, or Local History).
  • Check popularity vs. cost: Some exhibits attract lots of guests but are expensive to maintain. Strike a balance early on.
  • Diversify themes later: After your first exhibit is established, add a second with a different theme to attract more visitor types and meet star objectives.
Design Efficient Layouts
  • Main path flow matters: Place key exhibits along a clear, central path to guide guest movement.
  • Entrance → Exhibit → Facilities: Ideally, guests should pass through or by at least one exhibit before reaching shops or rest areas.
  • Use benches and signs: Benches near exhibits keep guests happy, and signs help reduce confusion and traffic jams.
Hire Smart, Not Fast
  • Look for multi-skill staff: Early on, staff who can manage exhibits and clean or entertain are gold.
  • Watch your wage costs: Don’t over-hire. One great educator is better than three mediocre ones draining your budget.
  • Use training rooms early: Train staff in Customer Service and Exhibit Knowledge to improve guest satisfaction and exhibit quality.
Focus on Guest Needs
  • Monitor the Needs tab: Keep an eye on hunger, thirst, boredom, and rest levels.
  • Place basic facilities early: One café, one bathroom, one gift shop, and a seating area can go a long way.
  • Entertainment matters: Add low-cost interactives or mini-exhibits to boost dwell time and enjoyment.
Watch Your Finances
  • Don’t overbuild: It’s tempting to decorate every inch, but keep initial costs lean.
  • Adjust ticket prices: If guests say it’s too expensive, lower the price a notch. If no one complains, raise it!
  • Pause before big hires or expansions: Always check your balance and projected income first.
