Hey, I'm Addie! I've eaten my way through more drive-thrus than I can count, and now we're building our own. Addie's Drive-Thru Empire is a free idle tycoon game for iPhone, iPad and Android. You run the window, I bring the camera, and together we turn one little roadside shack into the biggest fast-food empire on the map. Let's go!

From shack to sky

Every empire starts with a shack

Mine did! One window and a line of hungry cars. Serve them fast and watch the place grow: a drive-thru, a diner, a grand old building with my name over the door, and then the Mega Restaurant, a dining room that slowly spins way up in the sky. We start with hot dogs and finish with Addie's Secret Menu.

And it's never quiet. A gold car means a famous foodtuber is driving by: tap it, quick! Sometimes I sneak into your line in my camera car for the After Midnight Test, and yes, I'm scoring you out of ten. And when a rival food truck like Big Bun's or Taco Tornado parks across the street? Food Truck Showdown. Out-serve them and we go viral!

Places to take over

Where to next?

Countryside Town has cows, chickens and a big red barn. Out on the Desert Highway, a coyote is STILL chasing that roadrunner. There are goats up in the Mountains, boats pulling up to order at the Lakeside, ducks in the Big City's park and a whale popping up off the Boardwalk. Six territories, six whole new looks, and I want a drive-thru in every single one.

Game time with Carter

Carter, the minigame host

Good luck impressing Carter

Carter runs the game booths, and he has seen it all. Land a gold and he'll hop for joy. Miss, and you get the eye-roll. There are 30 games, five in every territory: reel in a thrashing pike, hang on to a bucking bronco, fly off a ski jump, pop a whole wall of balloons. You get a free play in every game, every day, and tickets to win for the prize counter.

Here comes the critic

Ethan the Critic

Every drive-thru in town knows that long black limo. Inside is Ethan the Critic, star of Ethan Rates It: red hoodie, round glasses and the toughest taste buds around. On a good day he names his goldfish after your burger. On a bad day? “The nuggets did not nug.”

I love the guy, and I want his five stars more than anything. Win him over and we're on the front page of The Daily Bite, with fame and customers to match. Let him down and the whole town reads one word: mid.

Make it yours

Your place, your style

An empire needs a look! Paint the place, swap the awnings, light it up in neon and put props all over the lot, even up on the roof. Cash in your tickets at every territory's prize counter for a giant teddy, a cotton candy cart or a whole Ferris wheel. Pick your character, grab a hat, then team up with a crew and race up the season leaderboard. A new season starts every three weeks, and the next one's ours!
