Gameplay
The player uses the mouse to select and place booths in the resort area. In the same manner, they can also place tiles for decoration or to give visitors access to the different booths. Over time, visitors come to the resort and may stay in the accommodations or use the facilities, which earns the player some money. Players use the money they earn to build additional booths or upgrade existing ones that attract more visitors.
The game plays continuously, with a statistics screen appearing at the end of each day that can be toggled on or off. The statistics screen provides a detailed report of the day's expenses and earnings, and the player's overall profit for that day. When the day ends, the game auto-saves, allowing players to continue their game to the next day.

- The smaller picture with the skeleton of a building can be used to hide all buildings on the map, leaving only tiles, visitors and garbage visible. This can also be toggled using the Q key.

Visitors
Visitors arrive to the resort in either singles or pairs. Some visitors will book a room, which allows them to spend more money and stay longer in the resort. Other visitors enter the resort to solely use the facilities.
Special
Special visitors arrive by chance when certain requirements are fulfilled. Players are always notified upon their arrival in the top right corner of the game screen. Unlike regular visitors, special visitors have sparkles around their entire body and a separate tab within the "Visitors" menu. These visitors spend more time than a regular visitor inside the resort and carry more money overall. There are five unique special visitors, whose prerequisites are listed in the game's legend.
| Name | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Anne Hat Away |
|
| Mr. Rock |
