Mein eigenes Einkaufszentrum 1.0

BHV Software GmbH & Co KG has developed "Mein eigenes Einkaufszentrum," a simulation game that allows players to experience running their own shopping mall. The game is available for Windows and Mac.

The objective of the game is to create a successful and profitable mall by attracting customers, satisfying their needs and wants, and managing the finances of the mall while keeping up with the competition.

The player starts with an empty lot, and it's up to them to design and construct the mall from scratch. They need to build stores, cafes, cinemas, restrooms, security offices, and more. The player can decide on the layout of the mall, the style of the facade, and even choose plants and other decorations.

Once the construction is complete, the player needs to attract tenants by offering competitive rent prices, advertising in local media, and providing excellent services such as cleaning and security. The layout of the mall following customer foot traffic patterns is also crucial in attracting customers.

As customers enter the mall, they have specific needs they want met. They may be looking for clothes, food, electronics or entertainment. The player needs to ensure that their mall has a variety of stores offering what the customers are looking for. The game offers a range of store types to choose from including fashion stores, tech stores or grocery stores.

The player also has to ensure that their tenants are happy with the rent being charged and that they can pay it in time; otherwise, they might leave. Payment deadlines are set by the player, who also has to ensure that cash flow remains stable.

The game features different weather effects such as rain or snow which can affect customer behavior. Players can also hire staff to help with tasks such as cleaning up or patrolling. Marketing campaigns can be conducted online, through billboards or newspapers.

The game offers players an opportunity to design and manage a mall in a virtual environment, simulating the elements of real-life mall management. It is an exciting game that can test players' business acumen, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
