JANUARY PRIZE: THE ICE CREAM TYCOON GAME!

Posted by: Turkey Hill Team

Think you got what it takes to survive in the rough and tumble world of the ice cream industry? With the Ice Cream Tycoon game, you can find out. With this computer game, you can build your ice cream empire from a “push-along ice cream cart into a multi-million pound ice cream factory” by controlling every aspect of your business, including (according to Amazon.com):

• Managing your stock and pricing strategy to keep profits growing
• Choosing from a wide range of ice cream flavors you think your customers will like
• Taking control of marketing and advertising
• Choosing from different locations to improve revenues
• Watching out for fines from the police and health authorities
• Monitoring the weather forecast to influence business

One commenter at random from all the comments in January will be selected to receive this prize. Good luck!

There is nothing like an old fashion board game, with family or friends!

The Ice Cream Tycoon sounds like a wonderful computer game for young and old alike. Very clever. If lucky enough to win, my grandchildren would be delighted. We would celebrate with Turkey Hill ice cream every time we’d play the game; for good luck and good taste, of course (smile).

I was looking for a spot just to tell the Turkey Hill folks how much I LOVE their “Box of Chocolate” ice cream… I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF IT… I’ve told so many people, even strangers, about it… and most couldn’t believe me… “box of chocolates ice cream”???? .. Yep, box of chocolates ice cream!!!… and it’s so delicious.. and I’d ask them to please just try it.. (it makes me happy when others find enjoyment.) … I can really go on and on about this all night long. Thank you, Turkey Hill folks, I really love your ice cream.

Oh man, this would be my dream job…an ice cream tycoon! We have the Rollercoaster and Railrod versions of Tycoon, but this would beat all. Thanks for the contest!

I got a better idea, get 5 different flavors of turkey hill on the table and just keep passing them around. when it is your turn to play, have a scoop of your favorite or try a new flavor. this is how I like to play with ice cream

I have always dreamed of owning my own little ice cream cart, and with this game I could do it (at least “virtually”)! I hope I win it!!!

If I won, this would be one game I would hide from my son who loves playing video games. It’s interesting how you can find so many ice cream related items. Even if I lose in this game I can always reward myself with some Turkey Hill ice cream.

Love roller coaster and zoo, ice cream would be awesome!

Since I can’t make enough money to be a financial tycoon, I might as well be an ice cream tycoon!


Carol C wrote:

Wow. I used to own an IC Parlor, and as much fun as it was, it was also difficult - figuring out what would sell, ordering enough stock - but not too much, scheduling employees, getting what the public really wants, etc. Hard work, but very challenging and rewarding! Loved it!

BEING A ICE CREAM TYCOON WOULD BE A SMART BUSINESS TO GET INTO. IT WOULD BE A GRADIFYING JOB, BECAUSE PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU.

What a neat game you can have a scoop of ice cream every time you get a point which means you have to have a lot of ice cream on hand. Turkey Hill of course any other you lose.

What a fun way to spend a cold winter night. It would be interesting to see what choices would be made by members of my family to succeed which would be as varied as our favorite flavor of Turkey Hill, which we have friendly arguments about. Fortunatley, there’s no loser!

This looks like a great way to cultivate the strengths of a young child who might have the early signs of a good business head. Three cheers for encouraging today’s youth to be our leaders tomorrow!
