Idle Mole Empire
An underground tycoon: build tunnels, farms, gyms, labs and halls, and move workers by lift.
A vertical tycoon: everything is built downward, and the lift is the bottleneck the whole design turns on.
Because workers have to physically travel between floors, the order you build in matters more than in most idle games. A lab at the bottom of a deep shaft earns slowly whatever its output rate, and rearranging later is expensive.
Farms, gyms, bars, science labs and grand halls each serve different customers, so the mix is a real decision rather than a straight upgrade path.

Click or tap to build, assign workers and collect.
How to Play
- Build the first tunnels close to the surface.
- Assign workers and watch the lift queue.
- Add specialised floors as demand appears.
- Reinvest earnings into depth and capacity.
Tips & Tricks
Upgrade the lift before adding another deep floor. Every new level below makes the existing shaft slower, and a fast lift retroactively improves everything you have already built.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does building order matter in an idle game?
Workers travel by lift between floors, so a deep building earns slowly regardless of its output rate.
