In Movierooms the player runs his/her own movie theater from early 1900s up to the present day, making it evolve and facing not only daily activities (film programming, choice of advertisements, maintenance, employee management and customer satisfaction) but also historical issues, such as the arrival of TV, war, illegal streaming, new technologies and communication systems. While having fun, the player will discover forgotten trivia and know the people that wrote the history of cinema.
Create & manage your ultimate cinema empire across ages!
Explore the times and places that made the big screen what it is today. From the 1900s until today, choose and program movies, create projection rooms and facilities to make your establishment the finest in town, and create a unique experience for your customers!
Rent movies, manage projections
Each level will have an extensive catalog of the films released in the decade in which you are playing. If you are a movie buff, you will have a blast finding all the hidden references!
The choice of movies and their scheduling is crucial. You need to identify and understand what is the best strategy to attract an audience and, at the same time, be attentive to the expiration date of the movies (as films are actually rented, not owned) so as not to end up with empty rooms and bankrupt the business.
Carefully pick your hires and keep them happy

A fine establishment like yours requires the finest team. Carefully pick your hires and keep them happy to get the best out of them. Manage cashiers, janitors, projectionists, and other jobs exclusive to the level’s time and place!

Build up the reputation of your cinema through multimedia advertisements and exceptional quality of service. Decoration, hygiene, movies, staff members, and more will be your tools to build a solid impression on your clients and attract cinema VIPs.

We promote a culture of diversity, equity and belonging where our different skills, experiences and backgrounds influence the games we make. For this reason, the Movierooms game is intended to be intuitive and accessible even for some types of disabilities and for all the players new to the management genre. Thanks to the help of Games Accessibility Hub (France) & FlyLILLO (Italy), the interface of Movierooms will be simplified and understandable for most people who desire to play it.
