What kind of city game this is

Virtual City Playground: Build is a city simulation where you lay out a town, then manage its economy as a tycoon. The developer, G5 Entertainment, lists it as free to play and aimed at all ages. It suits people who enjoy planning a city and watching it grow over a long session.

The game covers both building the city and running it. You construct the places people live and work, make goods to sell, and keep the citizens content enough for the city to keep expanding.

Placing homes, factories and malls

You start by building dwellings and industrial buildings. Factories make a range of retail goods, which you then deliver to shopping malls. The malls are where those goods sell.

Higher up the scale are the large landmark buildings. The listing names Apartment Towers, an Eco Skyscraper, an Airport, a Stadium, a Casino, a Hangar, an Ice Castle and a Shuttle Launch Pad among them.

Moving goods and citizens around

A mass transit system carries your residents to parks, cinemas, stadiums and other destinations. Transit is how the city's population reaches the places that keep them happy.

The listing also says goods keep being transported and earning money while the game is minimized. You can leave the city running and come back to the income.

Keeping the city healthy and rewarding residents

To make the city greener and healthier, you recycle garbage, plant trees, upgrade buildings and add hospitals and fire stations. These are the tools for keeping the town in good shape as it grows.

Happy, responsible citizens can be rewarded with public events you organize for them. The events are one of the ways the city's residents are kept involved in its progress.

Quests, achievements and in-app purchases

The listing includes over 500 quests tied to growing and improving the city, about 100 achievements to earn and share with friends, and Google Play game services support. It also includes nearly 200 buildings, landmarks and decorations for beautifying the city.

The game is free, but optional bonuses can be unlocked through in-app purchases inside the game. The listing notes that in-app purchases can be turned off in device settings. The game can be played offline or online.
