Side Hustle Empire
Merch Tycoon: Garage to Global
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
You have $100, a hand press, and a garage that smells like your dad's car. Turn it into a global clothing empire.
PRINT. POST. PROFIT.
Buy blank shirts, print them, and post memes so people know you exist. Watch the line form outside your door in a full 3D street that grows with your business.
RUN A REAL BUSINESS
• Set your prices and see who buys: college kids, regulars, and rich dads
• Drop new designs before the old ones go stale, and chase the trend
• Hire printers, managers and a social team, each with their own personality
• Pay rent, wages and taxes every night, or get to know a guy named Vinny
FROM GARAGE TO SPACE PROGRAM
Move from an online shop to a warehouse, a flagship store, a retail chain, a skyscraper HQ, a merch theme park and a launch pad. Unlock San Diego, Austin, Miami, New York, London, Tokyo and Las Vegas, each with its own look and rules.
CHAOS INCLUDED
Rival brands roast you online. Influencers post your shirt and then get cancelled. Bulk orders show up with impossible deadlines. Your mom DMs you about the loan.
KEEP COMING BACK
Daily goals, crates, a login streak, a monthly season pass, a weekly challenge with the same rules for everyone, and legacy perks that carry into every new run. Your crew keeps selling while you're away.
PLAY YOUR WAY
Nine game modes, from Speedrun to Hardcore to Influencer. Four difficulties. Plays fully offline.
Go Pro to remove ad breaks between days. Reward ads are always optional.
Easier to learn, easier on your battery.
• A longer tutorial that sticks around until you finish it, now covering your first hire, first payday and moving online
• Tap any stat (blanks, returns, profit per shirt, stale designs, your rival, the line) to see what it means and how to fix it
• "What's hurting your rating" on the reviews page, plus a rating breakdown in the nightly report
• Simpler first minutes: menus unlock as you need them, and the first days run a little slower
• Your rating now really matters: bad reviews mean fewer customers, at any size
• Offline earnings rebalanced, plus an optional "your vault is full" reminder
• Big battery and heat improvements, especially in the late game
• Fixed sound cutting out after leaving the app, calls, or flipping the silent switch
• Fixed returns tanking your rating at bigger stores
• Lots of smaller fixes
