What is Theme Hospital Tycoon
Take charge of a quirky medical center and turn it into a thriving operation. Balance the books, manage a team, and cure the deadliest (and silliest) illnesses around.
How to Play
Start by designing your hospital layout, then hire staff and build diagnostic and treatment rooms. Attend to patients as they arrive, monitor their satisfaction, and keep your finances positive to unlock new levels.
Tips for Playing
- Always build a few extra benches and trash cans to keep corridors tidy and patients comfortable.
- Hire enough janitors early on; a dirty hospital quickly leads to unhappy customers.
- Invest in Research to unlock better machines and treatments before tackling tougher scenarios.
- Don't overload your doctors with too many tasks; assign them to specific rooms to speed up treatment.
- Check your finances regularly and raise prices if you're losing money, but not too much or you'll scare patients away.
