Shrine: Circus Tycoon is a economical simulation where the player manages a
circus. As usual the player has a building site to his disposal where he
simply places all the buildings and items he wants to use. At first the most
important acquisitions are caravans and circus artists, e.g.acrobats or animal
trainers. He also has to think of other necessary equipment to supply his
employees, e.g. a kitchen. Later the player can expand his circus to a small
theme park with rollercoasters or carousels. The player can use these
attractions himself, then he has to solve an arcade mini game.

When the park is open to the public the player can watch the customers walking
on the circus ground. With one click he also can fade out the circus tent and
watch the artist’s performances. Besides this isometric perspective there are
also statistics screens. Besides the free building mode there are also 15
missions in different locations. When starting the next mission the player has
not to start from the beginning but keeps his circus.
