Launching Data Center Fan — build a data center empire

A free isometric tycoon game about running a data center — from a dusty garage desktop to a global hyperscale complex. Play in your browser or on Android.

What is Data Center Fan?

Data Center Fan is a free, browser-based isometric tycoon game about building and running a data center. You start in a garage with a single dusty desktop and a couple of clients, and you grow — through basements, offices, regional facilities and a multi-building campus — all the way to a global hyperscale complex that gets compared to the likes of AWS.

It runs in any modern browser, installs as a Progressive Web App, and is coming to Android on Google Play. No account or download is required to start.

The pitch in one line

Place servers, keep them powered and cool, sign client contracts, survive the chaos of running infrastructure, and prestige your way to an IPO — then do it all again, bigger.

Why we made it

Management and tycoon games are at their best when every decision has a cost. A server you switch on draws power and makes heat. A contract you sign is a promise you have to keep. We wanted a game where the fantasy of scaling a data center — the racks, the cooling, the uptime pressure — is the actual gameplay, wrapped in a cozy isometric pixel-art world.
