Prepare for the greatest challenge yet!
In your Deli/Bakery department, you will lead your team to success through multiple challenges. Can you keep the right amount of baked fresh foods to meet needs without wasting any? Can you nail timings and ensure your team is where they are supposed to be when they are supposed to be there?
Once you have mastered Deli/Bakery, you’ll be promoted to Assistant Store Manager to tackle coordinating a huge season: Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Help balance the day-to-day tasks to keep the store successful, and complete the work that needs to be done for Black Friday.

We would love to be able to use our controller to use while playing our game.
We ran a back room for a year before quitting. Pretty realistic but also the thought is lol.
Do you want to become a walmart employee? If so this game is for you. Working at walmart irl may not be reflected correctly though.
They should add more departments or challengers to do and create a second game to it, it is very fun! We really love this game, we have played it over and overshould add more departments though and update to standards now and other things.
Ive been playing this game for about 4 days now and we just completed deli/bakery. Really wish Meat/Produce was on here too, maybe even home and hardlines. Please add more dep. This game is super fun.
This game is super duper fun to play its just like real life.
When will you update the app? It has been buggy lately.
Will you guys be updated the checking out levels we hope so love this game.
Our bestie & we love this game!! We dont even work at Walmart & feel like we could. Weve beat every level so please update the game.
Very fun! We cant wait for more levels to be added.
We like spending time on the game but they should add register and other places faster.
Greatest app ever created, might as well be real life we recommend it to everyone including customers on a daily basest.
The game is our favorite we just wish it didnt mess up and have problems when we started in lawn department? And Ive been to entertainment and it messed up too ? Please fix this game because we love it.
Can you guys update the game so we can work in other departments? There are so many things you can do in that store. Also, we feel after we finish managing all departments, we should be able to manage the whole store, assigning workers to areas they are well experienced in etc.
We played this game. And we loved it Best game ever.
This game is very realistic and fun, this is a great challenge and practice for future employees, kids and even current workers, we wish you could walk from gm to other departments without having to press the map but still love it.
We love this game. New update please.
Once we understood what we were doing, it didnt take us long to beat each individual section. Also, the Black Friday portion of the game is fun. We LOVE this game.
This game is cool and can yall open the shelf check out.
So we mastered the bakery and the update released 4 months ago says we should become the assistant manager but it says we have to wait for the next update , update already.
We love this game however it freezes once we get to a certain point, please fix bugs and glitches soon.
We love this game but the game wont load it just started doing that wont load tried to refresh and uninstall nothing works.
Love the game, however we wish you would update it. Also once we finish we should be able to work in any department not just the deli.
Love this game but u can only do to a certain level and it freezes . Please update the game its been years we come n recheck the reviews lol.
We think this is a pretty good game they just need to add registers for employees like the people playing and you can be the cashier for the coustomers also can you guys update the game more it was updated 4 years ago. Needs a update good game overall.
The game itself is fun, however it ilhas multiple bugs, such as walking into shelves instead of standing in front of them.
Its a great game thats super fun to play . However, Ive had to restart multiple times because the game would glitch out and would NOT fix itself. But after that Ive completely finished the game when will more areas be added.
Giving a 4 star because we love this game. We loved playing it but Ive been waiting for a year now for the cashiering to open. Im tired of playing the same departments over and over again. Ill start playing it again when the cashier positions open up.
Great game just think you guys should add the pharmacy and that we should pick which department we want to work in.
We love the game and Id give it 5 stars if we were able to move back to other departments we have passed! Once we passed bakery and deli it just keeps us there until new departments are available and we dont know about other ppl but Id rather go back to other departments to occupy us lol.
This game is really fun other than the fact that we dont have enough time to finish things. If yall could make it to where we could work later than 4 like 6 or 7 that would be great. Also the game has a few glitches like when we go to do section work it doesnt do it immediately it will take a while before it finally works but other than that this game is really fun to play.
Ive completed all of the positions there is now but just need more now. Like where you are the store manager or you are the assistant manager but not for just the holiday season.
We think the game is okay, but the amount of time of work is awful. Can you make it 12 hours instead of 9 hours? Please.
We really love this game but we feel like we should be able to assign a few tasks at a time to employees and let them do it one after another instead of having to keep going back and checking when theyre done to assign them to the next task. Another thing is that there are too many tasks assigned in one day and the time goes by too fast. There should be a limit to the amount of tasks so that everything for that day can be completed on that day. Other than that this game is great.
Giving a 4 star because we love this game. We loved playing it but Ive been waiting for a year now for the cashiering to open. Im tired of playing the same departments over and over again. Ill start playing it again when the cashier positions open up. Update: changing to a 3 star. Its been over 2 years now and still no update. Please update the game.
Need more things to do, ive completed every department.
We love taking control and experiencing whats its like to work at Walmart. We also love the manger roles and the big retail seasons that you guys have added. However, we wish you guys did add some more content to make it more engaging and playable. One thing we wish you guys did add is the front end area and customer service.
On the next update need to add general manager mode, where we can run the whole store, fire and hire, count the registers and some other cool stuff.
We cant get out from the storage room because it keeps telling us to assign the keys but it doesnt gives us the option and it keeps saying we have to check some kind of list and we cant do it because the option doesnt pop up either! Can you please fix this. We like the game so far but this is getting us frustrated. Thanks.
Our husband and we just found this game not too long ago and really enjoy it. We didnt realize that it hasnt been updated in 2 years nor is the game completed.
We are on week 5 of dry goods. We are wondering when am we gonnaa move on? We love this game but it is becoming very repetitive and id like to move on to a different department.
This game is OK but it keeps you nice and busy and its fun and stuff its just they dont have a Lotta characters to choose from and they didnt have our hair color and our hairline and Im like OK then Ill just say this one so we cant right now so Im busy and we really like playing out on our butt when we first got it we checked the reviews and we saw that they werent The best but Im like it works fine for us and we dont know what theyre saying and Im like we kind a got a little worried because they kept saying welcome to a crash course of what they did and it like they said but like it got glitchy and stuff and one day we were just playing the game nice peaceful and having some fun and we were actually up really really high until our game got glitched because the guy was trying to move the leg the thing where you can see other things and we wouldnt work in the freeze up.And Im like thats kind of weird and. It was just like not work so we restarted our iPad and we joined again and our characters kept changing so we close all our tabs and we went back into that game and we cant escape changing and we were just like so glitchy and crashed and when we tapped on continue it wouldnt even let us and like when we were doing with the scanner thing it wouldnt work like we would have to keep doing it like 100 times so the game is it the best but they need affect the crashes and this game is OK but we think they could do a better job and the game keeps skipping time when you do things and that makes us not getting things done every single day so yeah its OK but they could do better.
Is there a time frame of when to expect more areas of the store to start? Also on the Black Friday part of the game, the game itself will not load going into week 2 day 2. Thank you.
Your character moves SOOOOOOO SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWW. And you have a decent amount of tasks to do, too! So it's literally impossible to finish them all before the day ends. And there's some kind of glitch were once you finally approach a task, the character just stands there and maybe walks in place fir a second. And they will continue standing there until you spam the task button. It's a fun concept and the gameplay at its core is alright, but this execution earns it a fine.
Its a very entertaining game but it gets frustrating when we cant do anything like now we cant even go into the back stock room to do the stuff that needs done back there and it freezes too much Ive had to totally reset the whole game and start back at the beginning of the game. Needs improvement really bad.
Fun game. However, we have gotten to GC DM and game freezes the second we touch our screen.
We love playing this game, since we have considered one day moving to higher positions. We do wish that the app would be updated more frequently with more scenarios. Also we work at Sams Club so it would be nice to have this game also be a Sams Club as well.
Game itself is not bad, but it need more updates and upgrades.
