Monkey Mart Unblocked — Play Free Online

Monkey Mart is a small shop-management game where you play a monkey who has just opened a supermarket with nothing but a patch of ground. Everything starts by hand: you walk to a banana tree, collect the fruit, carry it to an empty shelf and wait for customers to wander in. It is a loop of gather, stock, sell and upgrade, and it is easy to pick up in a minute.

The pace is relaxed rather than frantic. There is no timer on a level and no way to lose outright, but a queue of shoppers at the till is a good reminder to keep moving. Early on you are doing every job yourself; as coins come in, the shop grows and starts to run itself.

It sits a bit apart from the table games on Guess Who, which are mostly about outthinking an opponent. Here you are optimising a little production line, which makes it a good change of pace between rounds of something more tactical.

How to play

Move with WASD or the arrow keys, or drag with the mouse or a finger on a touch screen. You do not press an action button: standing next to a field, shelf or till uses it. Walk up to a tree to pick produce, then stand at a shelf to drop it off. Stand at the till when customers are waiting to ring them up and collect the coins.

Money pays for the next step: new kinds of produce to grow and sell, bigger carrying capacity, more shelves and helpers who take over some of the walking. Each upgrade shifts your time from fetching things to deciding what to expand next.

Tips

• Keep the shelves full before the queue builds. An empty shelf means customers wait or leave, and that is lost coin.
• Spend early coins on whatever removes the most walking, such as a helper or extra carrying space, before adding more product lines.
• Watch the till. A long line there costs more than a half-empty field, so go back to it as soon as you have dropped off your load.
• Do a full loop of fields, shelves and till each time rather than staying in one spot, so nothing runs dry unnoticed.

Similar games on Guess Who

Nothing else on the site is quite like it. Ludo King and Snakes And Ladders are also relaxed and good for short sessions, but they are about dice and luck rather than building something. Master Chess and Backgammon are the opposite: slow, tactical and head to head, where Monkey Mart is solo and steady.

It suits anyone who wants a few quiet minutes of progress. It runs in the browser with nothing to install and works with a keyboard or by touch on a phone or tablet.
