Thrillville is an amusement park simulator where you play as the chosen nephew or niece of eccentric uncle Mortimer, owner of the Thrillville theme park franchise. When uncle Mortimer is unwell, he lets you take over running five fantastic parks. The problem is that Uncle Mortimer's arch-nemesis Vernon Garrison is trying to ruin Thrillville with his Globo-Joy chain and will do anything to beat it and become number one. To stop him, you need to keep the parks running smoothly by keeping guests happy and figuring out their needs and wants.
Created by the team behind RollerCoaster Tycoon 3, Thrillville moves away from pure management for the Xbox console. You can build your own rides and test them yourself. Daily chores require you to construct new attractions and stalls, and customers need reasonable prices to keep them happy.
Instead of crunching numbers, some daily chores have been turned into mini-games based on classic games like shoot-em-ups, racing games, and rhythm games. Mundane tasks become exciting events when you participate in these games with your visitors. You control a park manager to distribute work and interact with customers, even trying to befriend them through conversations to keep them happy.
