What Makes Flop House Stand Out
WELCOME TO FLOP HOUSE
Think you can run a homeless shelter without losing your cool? In Flop House, you’re the idle manager of the most chaotic “home away from home” you’ll ever build. Take in folks, hand out meals, and prove you’ve got what it takes to turn a flop into a full-on success story.
BUILD YOUR SHELTER, YOUR WAY
Start small with a beat-up homeless shelter that barely has a bed and a bathroom. Upgrade it step by step—add kitchens, showers, and all the essentials. The better your shelter gets, the more people show up to crash at your Flop House.
FROM NOTHING TO TYCOON STATUS
This isn’t just about good vibes—it’s about smart moves. Manage resources, hire staff, and unlock upgrades like a pro. With every level-up, you’re not just giving people a place to sleep—you’re building your own legend as an idle tycoon.
TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK
Cooking, cleaning, caring—it’s a lot for one guy. Luckily, you can build a team to keep your shelter running. Just don’t slack off too hard—your Flop House doesn’t manage itself!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Since we were a young girl we wrote plans about assisting ppl in need from single parents to homeless we still have those plans their old and tearing apart but this game makes us feel close to our dreams. From encouraging recycling and making money off that and making things better to assisting those in need.
Im an on the second level and we cant get past the recycle part. Its not uploading the electronics thats already on the line. What can we do about that.
Idle games with this style are never good quality so we didnt go into this expecting a life changing game. There are a bunch of ads whatever expected it. The issue for us is the npcs. They are supposed to help automate your shelter so u dont have to help just collect money. However in this game the npcs move to slow to help u do anything. We watched the ads expecting a difference but there wasnt one. The cleaners clean and move too slow to leave 1 of the 2 rooms they are assigned to. Which has them soft locked slowly cleaning one room. Even the one in the cafe is slow for no reason because it only has one room to clean. The stockers are also slow they only carry 1 item to whatever their location is which usually requires wayy more than 1 thing. Basically they dont move and do their job fast enough with the base upgrades the rooms with the ad upgrades are so much worse. The npcs need to be updated to be more efficient.
Its solidly alright and gets a bonus star for honestly representing itself. It doesnt appear to have an idle function which is a bit of a downside.
Es muy bonito pero cada 5 minutos tiene publicidad y eso es muy estresante por q no se puede jugar.
The problem is excessive advertising, we understand that the game lives from that, but its too much and for everything you have to see commercials for everything (it ends up being frustrating).
Fun game but Im stuck at Level 10! Please update.
Its a solid game.. But theres an ad every two minutes which just ruins it.
We paid for no ads $4.99 for the game to only go to the second flop house. Ive done all the upgrades. We liked this game enough to pay for no ads now we have nothing to do. This is kind of lame, will there be more add ons and more levels to the game.
We can deal with the amount of ads constantly popping up. The problem is the ads do not let you X out more than half the time, so the app needs to be restarted, but the game doesnt save your place. You can be in the middle of a recycling order and the order respawns meaning the part you already filled before the damn ad interrupted is gone. Good concept, not yet executed well.
Good time killer but 5 minutes in and Im already waiting to skip our second ad.
The ad every minute is honestly annoying.
Do you really need to play the same ad back to back for five minutes after selecting an upgrade.
We wish we had read the reviews first like the game and spent some money buying stars to upgrade only to find out once you upgrade the first and second shelter, theres no more. Thats the end. A waste of money and time.
Was a fun game yes. However an ad like every minute is a bit excessive.
The game is fun good graphics but only two shelters and thats it. You cant move to next level once you have upgraded everything youre supposed to upgrade to move forward with the game. Its almost a waste of time and space to download.
At least this Game gives us something to do with our time.
Im seriously having a Great time with flop house and we missed not playing it so we have spent real money and time playing this its worth every penny love Flop House.
We want to play this game where we were at, but we had to buy a new IPad and we dont want to start over. Is there a way we can play without starting over.
Its an fun concept running a flop house. Enjoyable and easy to play and not to many commercials.
Why is there a boxing ring but nothing happens with it? Like theres a worker for it and everything but never any boxing matches happen.
We really enjoy the game except there are so many ads its ridiculous.
Really fun game to play but cant play too long before the game crashes and makes you leave app.
The app kept forcing clothes, then it restarted us, and it will not let us restore any of our purchases. We have to start all over again.
We liked it for a while, it was fun and what not, but Ill pay for one of the upgrades for the cleaners, and then click which upgrade, and then get an ad. The ad will freeze and it wont give us the X, so we close out in hopes to get both our upgrade and our stars/upgrades, but we dont get our stars and cant move on past 125/126 stars.
This game was fun until we got stuck. We wish it was more than two shelters. Im kinda just collecting money with nothing to spend it on.
Im on the second shelter, almost done with level 10 but it wont let us do anything else. Theres no more upgrades so Im unsure how to get more stars. Is this a glitch.
Love this game and it totally has us hooked but after opening all the shops in our first shelter the game started randomly crashing while we were playing. It would crash in the middle of an important task so disappointing, now we just play till we lose our patience with the amount of times it crashes.
Even after updating the app we still cant progress past house 2 level 10 pleeeaaassseeee fix it.
This game is fun. Rewards come quickly and you are able to build and upgrade your shelter fast. We loved playing it. However there are only two shelters to the game. We spent 10 dollars to get rid of the ads because they were so frequent that it severely interrupted game play. Then we spent money to get the wheel thing for our guy to run around on so he could move faster. We feel like there should be a way to earn those types of upgrades in the game. We are highly disappointed that we spent money on this game because we really enjoyed playing it only to find out that theres two shelters and we cant go any further. Feels like a rip off.
We invested money thinking that we could continue to play past the second shelter and we saved tokens so we could upgrade our character on the next level only to find there is not one? Honestly, we want our money back. If we had known it was such a short game we NEVER would have spent money on it. We would have purchased another game we can actually play.
Why are the levels opening as they should be.
Way too many ads. Cant enjoy it long enough to see.
We have been on level 10 with no idea how to get to level 11. Is level 11 possible.
Can we please get new houses? Ive been maxed out for weeks now.
The game will randomly boot us out and our progress and money that we earned will be gone. Please fix this.
Love the game. But Im stuck. No idea what to do to get to the next level.
Hasnt been loading anything new. Wont let us make purchases. Steals our diamonds. Miss our fav game :/.
Really enjoyed this game, but we got to level 10 and its just over?? No more tasks pop up and nothing left to upgrade. There are random tubes so we assume there should be more coming. With that said, Ive seen people comments the same thing months ago. Sooo not confident about anything new coming.
We love the game, we are having problems with the game for the last 2 months and updating every time. We deleted and reinstalled to try again starting all over again. Today we did the update which did not work. Im still waiting to get the third floppy house because we cant get to finish the second. Every day we try the game wishing will work.
The game doesnt go on after you get to the three shelter.
We really like the game but we cant get past the second house, because the exp points seem to have stopped at 403 and we need 404 to move to the next house.
Every time we upgrade it glitches out and doesnt give us our upgrade and doesnt give us an option to go back and try to upgrade it again super annoying.
Really like the game, but as soon as you hit level 6 the game kicks you out every 5 minutes and when you get back in all your money is gone. Deleted the app and lost all our progress just to redownload it to see if it would help the issue. It didnt. Same problem.
Everytime we get to a certain part of a game it gets stuck. Its actually fun when its working properly.
Flop House is a surprisingly charming and enjoyable idle-management game that combines casual gameplay with a warm, uplifting concept. Instead of the usual hotel or restaurant tycoon setup, this game puts you in charge of a shelter, where you help people rebuild their lives by providing beds, food, and a clean, safe space. From the start, the game is easy to understand and rewarding to play. You begin with a small, run-down building and gradually expand it adding bathrooms, kitchens, recreation areas, and more. Every upgrade feels meaningful, and its satisfying to watch your shelter grow busier and more efficient. The graphics are bright, colorful, and well-designed, giving the whole experience a friendly and optimistic tone. The characters are simple but expressive, and the animations make your shelter feel lively. The developers have clearly put effort into making the gameplay loop smooth and enjoyable even when youre offline, progress continues, so you can play at your own pace. While there are some ads, theyre often optional, and the game rewards you well for watching them. Its a fair balance that helps keep the experience free to play. Overall, Flop House is a cozy and heartwarming idle game that stands out from the crowd. Its about progress, care, and community all wrapped up in a relaxing and addictive gameplay loop. Perfect for players who enjoy building, upgrading, and seeing the positive results of their efforts.
The game is great but it doesnt let you level up after the second place you go too we have topped out on everything even with the diamonds upgrades there is not another level to go too. Which is sad bc we will play this game for hours. Please do an update.
We finished level two have finished all of the task and then just theres no more task and no way to continue to next flophouse.
The game is fun but you cant go further than level 2. Its unfortunate because u can still play but nothing left to upgrade and nowhere to advance to.
Ive been playing this game for about a week. We love the game but now it just closes out on us. Idk why just in the middle of the game it goes back to our home screen.
