7. Will there be new food / drink options in v1.0?
Yes! Each of the new locations will bring new food and drink options for your guests to enjoy.
8. Can I head straight into the custom sandbox mode?
Yes, it will be available to play immediately upon launch!
9. How big are the new scenario maps?
London has a 24 x 24 lot size, and can be built 5 floors high.
The Black Forest has a lot size of 48 x 48, and can be built 4 floors high (making it the biggest map yet!)
On the other hand, the sandbox mode maps can be:
You can create an area size more than 4x the area of Santorini (which would be 2,500 tiles total, in comparison to Santorini's 576).
Using the same area size as Las Vegas, in the Custom Sandbox mode you could build up to 25 floors!
Or, with the New York City Area size, you can build up to 100 FLOORS!
10. Is there a way to start from scratch when v1.0 releases?
We have seen many questions about this, and we're happy to share that will be adding an option in the settings to reset your progress when we launch into 1.0!
11. How do I invite couples into my hotel?
Couples will enter your hotel if you have two single beds, or one double bed, available in your bedroom zone, alongside one luggage holder each. They will always be the same guest type, and tend enjoy their stays by doing most activities as a pair!
