Think fun, sun andsand and you’re

halfway there. SPRINGBREAK realistically simulates real lifebeach resorts and human behaviors,while trying not to take itself tooseriously — in fact not very seriously atall. As the owner of the resorts, you needto react to the needs of your guests,manipulate prices and deal with theday-to-day running of your humanplayground. You are there to provide thebest possible holiday experience for yourguests while trying to make a quickbuck for yourself. Along the way,they’ll experience all the joys and theheadaches of a typical package holiday;from romance and excitement todiscovering that too much partyingand sun really is a bad thing.

winningEach scenario in the game hascertain objectives that must be metin order for you to complete thelevel and progress to the next one.Failure to do so would meanbankruptcy and ultimately losingthe game.

this manualWe all know that people rarelyread manuals no matter how hardwe try to spice them up with a witand humor. The average playerjust stampedes through the gameuntil he or she gets stuck. So for allthose casual manual readers we’vetried to organize the chapters inthe order that you may need them,while still maintaining a degree ofcontinuity for those few willing toread the manual from cover to cover.

But wait, help is at hand…

readme file There is a Readme file (calledreadme.txt) in the root directoryof the SPRING BREAK CD-ROM,giving a rundown of any lastminute changes that didn’t makeit into the manual.

tooltips Resting your cursor over certaingraphics in the game, such asbuttons, icons or buildings, willdisplay a tooltip — a small boxproviding simple information onthat item. Handy if you’re not quitefamiliar with all the functions ofSPRING BREAK.

Manual ConventionsThroughout SPRING BREAK™ and thismanual, we refer to the followingcommon conventions that are simplefor new players and familiar to moreestablished gamers.

CLICK: Pressing the left mousebutton. Generally used to confirm allactions in the game, such as laying abuilding or clicking a button.

DOUBLE-CLICK: There may be someinstances where you’ll need todouble-click the left-mouse button(press the mouse button twicequickly in succession).

RIGHT-CLICK: Pressing the rightmouse button. Generally used in-game to scroll the screen (holddown). Also cancels follow-cams.

MOUSE WHEEL: If it’s supported byyour mouse, you can use the mousewheel to move scrollbars up and downand rotate building and scenery

In order to getanywhere in SPRING

BREAK, you’re going tohave to master the art of construction.Placing buildings and laying paths areeasy, but choosing the right ones andwhere to place them is the secret ofsuccess. There are multiple buildings foryou to choose from, all graduallybecoming available as you progressthrough the scenarios.

Choose what buildings you want to laycarefully; you may have limited space, sovary your buildings in order to offerample day and night entertainment. Alsolook at the weather conditions for thescenario carefully — if it’s notorious forraining then a beach barbecue probablywouldn’t be a best seller.

Every type of building takes a certainamount of time to constructdepending on the size of thebuilding and how many builders areassigned to that construction site.(Smaller buildings will appearalmost instantly while larger oneswill take much longer.)

The ConstructionPanel

Click the BUILD buttonon the Interface to

open theConstruction panel.

This is where youchoose the buildings

you’ll construct. Threetabs at the side of

the panelrepresentthe threemainconstructiongroups:

Essential: All theessential staff,utility and amenity

buildings.

Food/Clubs:All land-based eating anddrinkingestablishmentsplus other

types of entertainmentbuildings such as clubs.

Leisure: All water andbeachactivities.

Clicking abuildingdisplaysthe cost,poweruse andappeal to either sexon the left side of the Constructionpanel. It also details which building isrequired before this buildingbecomes available to construct. If abuilding is grayed out, then itrequires another building (or set ofbuildings) to be constructed andcompleted before becomingavailable.

NOTE: You will not be able tochoose and construct a building ifyou do not have sufficient funds inyour account. The cost of thebuilding will be deducted from youraccount once you confirm whereyou wish to construct it.

When a placement is valid, thepreview of the building will be solid; clickonce and the framework of the buildingwill be placed on the Map Area ready foryour builders to begin constructing. Yourbuilders will start work on the newbuilding immediately unless they aretending to other jobs at the time, in whichcase as many as are available will headtowards the new construction site.

NOTE: Its important that you don’t placetoo many buildings down in one go,otherwise you may end up spreading yourbuilders around too thinly. Two buildersattending a building will complete the jobin half the time, three in a third, etc.

You can rotate a currently selectedbuilding by pressing the Spacebar orpushing the mouse wheel up or downbefore you’ve confirmed placement ofthe building. This can sometimes allowyou fit the structure into a tight spotas the width and length of buildingsmay vary dramatically.

selling a buildingAll buildings can be sold for about75% of their original cost price.Selling a building removes it and anystaff associated with it from the gameworld. Click thebuilding you wantto sell and thenclick theDEMOLISHbutton at the leftcorner of thepanel. The buildingwill then be ready for yourbuilders to dismantle as soon as anybecome available. Once a building hasbeen dismantled the funds are deposited

in your account. Click a building atany time to display the

progress of the dismantling.

The BuildingInformation PanelClicking a building displays the BuildingInformation panel that allows you directcontrol over a wealth of options availableto that specific building. The name of thebuilding is shown at the top of the panel;

In addition to the informationoffered within these tabs, theleft side of the BuildingInformation panel details theguest capacity and opening hoursof the building. Below this are twobuttons: OPEN and CLOSE.Clicking either will open or close

the building to your guests, handyif you need to make urgent repairs to

a building and don’t wish the gueststo continue using it.

repairing and maintaining buildingsAll buildings have an associated “repairstate.” As buildings fall into a poor andultimately dangerous repair state they willonly work at reduced efficiency or closedown completely.

If a building requiresurgent attention, click the CALL MECHANICbutton at the bottom of the panel. Only aMechanic can repair buildings.

power consumptionEvery building within the resort

requires power to run.On the Interface is a

power consumptionbar that shows your

total current poweroutput as yellow and

flash when your resort is

using more power than you aregenerating. Some buildingsautomatically shut down untilthere is sufficient power to runthem.

Guests love a beautifulresort and you can chooseto lay various sceneryitems such as paths,benches, plants andlights from theScenery panel accessedby clicking the SCENERYbutton on the Interface.Placing a scenery itemworks in the same way as placing abuilding except there’s no constructiontime added — all scenery items appearimmediately.

Seven tabs represent the different typesof scenery items you can place: paths,furniture, plants, bushes, ornaments,trees and advertising boards. As youclick each scenery item its cost andappeal rating is shown at the top ofthe panel (if applicable).

Unlike most other panels in SPRINGBREAK, the Scenery panelhas a couple of extracontrols:

IN: Minimizes theScenery panel to theside of the screen.

OUT: Returns theScenery panel back to

its originalsize.

CLOSE: Closesthe Scenerypanel.

the importance of pathsGuests don’t like aimlessly

wandering around for hourstrying to find things to do. They

like to be guided there and thebest way of doing this is throughpaths. Paths are very important tothe success of your resort —guests are unlikely to use anyattractions or amenities unlessthere is a path to take them there!

It’s also important that you planyour paths carefully — try to keepthem simple so they guide yourguests around your resort. Pathscan only be built on solid land thatis clear of any obstructions; theycannot be built on beaches, onwater, through trees and rocks orover other buildings.

laying pathsFrom the PATH tab onthe Scenery panel, clicka piece of paving andyour cursor will changeto a preview of thatpiece of path. Nowclick the Map Area tolay a piece of paving

and it will be placedimmediately.

If any part of the path goes red, itindicates that the path cannot belaid at that point. Laying a segmentof paving next to an existing oneautomatically joins them together.Holding down the left-mousebutton allows you to lay pavingdown, as though you were“painting” on the Map Area —saving you trouble of having toclick each path piece downindividually! Remember to addlights along your paths so guestscan see where they’re going atnight.

Guests are the single mostimportant things within yourresort and by Jove they can be ahard bunch to please. Guestslike to complain about anythingand everything unless it suitstheir personal requirements andexpectations. But not everyguest desires the same thing —during the day some may like tolounge around sipping piñacoladas or chilling out in cafés.Others demand more thrillingentertainment like jet skis andbeach discos, or just want to getaway. By evening, quiet guests come

out of their shells and begin todemand other types of entertainment

such as romantic meals at restaurantsand clubs where they can style on the

dance floor.

SHINY HAPPY PEOPLE: Asfickle as they are, guests areyour only source of income.But they aren’t all rich; mostguests only have a limitedamount of hard-earned cash tospend and they choose carefullywhat to spend it on. Offer lots ofvarying attractions to your guests andthey’ll respond by spending oodles of cash,praising your resort and encouragingmore people to vacation there — while atthe same time making you a packet.Everyone’s happy!

DRASTIC ACTION: Pleasing guests is not awalk in the park though. Whenever theguests’ opinion counters reach very lowvalues, the guest is left with little choiceother than to leave the resort. Soonother guests will follow — jumpingon the next boat or bus out of there.

No guests, no money. No money,you can kiss your chances of

success goodbye.

Listening to YourGuestsResponding to feedback from theguests is vitally important inensuring a smooth running,profitable resort. Feedback fromguests comes in a number ofguises: the Thumb System and theSmileys offer a simple visualrepresentation of the guests’mood. The Guest Information panelgoes into more depth, allowing youto identify exactly what’s troublingthem.

the thumb systemThumbs up! Or down as the case maybe. When guests see or usesomething they like, be it eating atasty burger, admiring the cleanlinessof your rest rooms or applaudingthe celebrities on display, then a

“thumbs up” will appear abovetheir heads. If they

disapprove ofsomething, say a newly

arranged mess on thefloor, they’ll give it a

“thumbs down” and walkoff in a snit. Not a good

thing as they’ll probablyend up telling their friends.

smileysWhen you click a guest, a small Smileyappears above the guest’s head. There are

five Smileys thatindicate the guest’smood:

SMILEY 1: The guestis as happy as pie,ready to spend loadsof money, and willprobably even tell thefolks back home howgood the holiday was.

SMILEY 2: The guest isin a pretty good mood,

though it’s not thebest vacation ever.

SMILEY 3: Not bad,though the guest isfeeling a little boredand let down aboutyour resort. Thisbaby needs more

entertainment!

SMILEY 4: Oh dear,the guest isn’t a happycamper. He or she isready to beat feet unlessthings pick up quick!

SMILEY 5: No hope.This guest wouldrather have the

company of thesharks then spend

another minute inyour resort.

The Guest InformationPanel

Clicking a guestopens up theGuestInformationpanel. Thispanel givesdetails ofthe

guest’s desires,opinions and thoughts. Paying

close attention to the guest’sopinions is vitally important whendeciding what areas to address andimprove and, ultimately, whetheryour resort becomes a huge successor a total failure.

Remember though, like most peopleon this planet, guests in SPRING BREAKare as unpredictable as the weather–— they all have their own opinionsand desires and can react differently inthe same situation.

guest informationThe Guest Information tab offers a viewto the current state ofthe Guest:

ACTIVITY NOW:What the guest iscurrently doing. Ifthe guest iswanderingaround doingnothing, you need to askyourself why.

TOP DESIRES: What the guest is currentlymost looking for.

ARRIVED ON: What day the guestarrived.

DEPARTING ON: What day the guest isdeparting.

CASH: Amount of cash the guest hasleft to spend on the island. If the guesthas a fair stack of money left, thendon’t just sit there — offer things tospend it on!

SUNBURN: How much a guest issunburnt. Sunburnt guests aren’thappy guests, so make sure thatthere’s somewhere to get suntanlotion.

DRUNK: A percentage of howdrunk the guest is. Once guestsget to 100%, they’re liable torelieve themselves at thenearest location, throw up andthen fall asleep in a dark corner.Not very pleasant for the otherguests!

BLADDER: The higher thebladder rating, the more yourguests are bursting to go to thetoilet. If their bladder rating getstoo high and there are no toiletsavailable, they’ll just let loose there

and then.

HEADACHE: When guests becomedehydrated, they’ll start complaining of

headaches. It’s nothing serious, just ahangover, but they’ll moan without

headache pills.

guest opinionsThe Guest Opinions tablists the seven mainopinions that affect yourguests’ everydayenjoyment of your resort.Any opinions that are in thered are spoiling their holidayand you’ll need to know why.These opinions are:

BEAUTY: Plants, trees, lights, statues andshrubs all add to create a beautifulenvironment for your guests to enjoy. Themore beautiful scenery items you have,the happier your guests will be.

QUEUING: No one likes to line up, yetpeople always seem intent on doing so.Only for so long, though. Eventuallyguests become fed up and mosey offto find something else to do.

TOTTY: Guests love beautifulpeople and everyone has hopes ofa little holiday romance. Thebetter the totty in your resort, thehappier your guests will be.

PRICE: What the guest feelsabout the prices within theresort. Guests are always happierwith cheap goods, but ifsomething’s popular it may beworth sneakily upping the priceand making a little more profit.

VARIETY: Details what the guestfeels about variety on the island.No one likes doing the samething over and over again.

CLEANLINESS: If the guest findsthe resort dirty, they’ll certainly letyou know about it.

SAFETY: Guests won’t have a goodtime unless they feel safe within theresort. From bad water to sharkattacks, there are all manner of thingsthat can upset a guest.

BEST: What the guest likes most aboutyour resort…

WORSE: …and then what they don’t.Take note of this, if it doesn’t improvethe guest will probably end up packingtheir bags and jumping on the nearesttransport (or off the nearest bridge).

guest thoughtsThe Guest Thoughts Tab

displays the selectedguest’s last threethoughts about yourresort. Take heed ofyour guests’ thoughtsand act on them asnecessary, otherwise yourresort may become a verylonely place.

As we are onlydealing with guests inthis section, please see“The Guest and Building Browser(building side)” on page 17 for buildinginformation.

To view the options forguests, click the DOWNARROW button at the topof the panel. The list can beordered by a variety ofdifferent criteria.

When you click one of the filteroptions, all guests within yourresort will display a bar belowtheir feet with the sameinformation. The guest filteroptions available to you are:

HAPPINESS %: How happy orunhappy your guests are with yourresort.

SUNBURN %: How sunburnt theguest is. As they roast under thesun, guests will start to demandsuntan lotion. If a guest reaches

100% sunburnt and there’s nosuntan lotion available, that guestwill be very, very unhappy.

HEADACHE %: When guestsbecome dehydrated they’llstart complaining ofheadaches. It’s nothingserious; they’ve just had

one tequila sunrise too manyand are now suffering from a

hangover. The higher thepercentage, the more a

guest will yearn forheadache pills from the

General Store.

DRUNK %: How drunk theguest is. Once they’re three

sheets to the wind (over 90%drunk) guests are liable to start

fighting, vandalizing, becomingamorous, using the nearestlocation for a bathroom orthrowing up there and then —none of which are particularlypleasant for the other guests.

BLADDER %: The higher therating, the more your guests arebursting to go to the toilet. If theirbladder rating gets too high andthere are no toilets nearby, thenthey’ll just let loose there and then— to the dismay of surroundingguests.

SICKNESS %: As guests indulge toomuch, their sickness rating increasesuntil they can’t hold on any moreand start blowing chunks all overthe place. Not pleasant for eitheryour staff or the other guests.

PRICE: What the guest feels aboutthe prices at the resort. Guests arealways happier with cheap goods,but if something’s popular it maybe worth sneakily upping the priceand making a little more profit.

SAFETY: Guests won’t have a goodtime unless they feel safe within theresort. From lightning to sharkattacks, there are all manner ofthings that can upset a guest somake sure you have supplied lots ofcover for them.

QUEUING: What the guest feelsabout standing in line forentertainment. No one likes to lineup, and guests will tolerate it onlyfor so long. Eventually they’llbecome disgruntled and walk off.

BEAUTY: Not everyone wants tohang around beach bars partying anddancing to the latest summer sounds.Some guests like to wanderaround admiring the beauty of

the resort before heading to thebeach with their piña coladas.

CLEANLINESS: If the guest findsthe resort dirty, he or she will

certainly let you know about it.

TOTTY: A generic term meaning “theattractive people around them.” Guestslove beautiful people and everyonehopes for a little holiday romance. Thebetter the totty in your resort the happierthe guests will be. Everyone loves alifeguard.

Your staff are veryimportant to success

in SPRING BREAK. Theymaintain your resort as well as lookafter your guests. Without staff yourresort will fall into disrepair, causingyour guests to become upset and leavethe island. Guests are willing to pay a lotof money to go on the vacation of theirdreams, so they don’t expect to end upsleeping in a shantytown listening togolden hits from the 30s.

Staff MoodYou can control several variables, such assalary and working hours for each staffmember. Before we go into detailabout this, remember that there is alimit to how much you can expectyour staff members to work — they’reonly human after all. Even if you offerthem ridiculous amounts of moneyto work harder and faster, therewill be a time when they need restand their mood will start dropping.As with the guests, this is indicatedby a Smiley and a moodpercentage. When a staffmember’s mood drops below50%, the worker will become sounmotivated and slovenly that heor she will probably not bothergetting out of bed.

zooming to a staff memberYou can zoom to aparticular staffmember by clickingthe corresponding

photograph on the Interface. Ifyou continue to click the samephotograph, you will cycle betweenall the staff of that type.

If a staff member in a photographis transparent, then you don’thave any of that staff typeemployed. If the photograph iscompletely blank, then that stafftype isn’t available on the currentscenario.

The StaffInformation PanelWhenever you click a staff member

the Staff Information panelopens. This panel allows

you to managespecific detailsfor that

member of staff:his or her current

activity and whathe or she achieved

today; the currentsalary and working

hours; thoughts and anyspecial orders specific to that staffmember.

INFO: Detailsspecifics aboutthat staffmember soyou can seewhether theperson isworking hardenough or not!

SALARY: Allows youto alter the workinghours and salarypaid to that staffmember (in the

same way as from theStaff Control panel).

THOUGHTS:Shows the staff

member’s lastthree thoughts.

SETTINGS: Eachtype of staffmember may havecertain specialorders specific tothe job. The Settingstab details thosespecific orders and

allows you to alter them. Forexample, if you find that your

cleaners are spending more timeemptying bins than cleaning the toilets,

then toggle the EMPTY BINS and CLEANTOILETS options to OFF (so there’s no tickin the box).

relocating staffIf there’s a particular area of yourresort that requiresattention, you canorder a staffmember to dropwhat he or she isdoing and go directlythere. Click the staffmember and then clickthe RELOCATE button onthe left side of the Staff Information panel.Your cursor will change to a relocation-arrow. Scroll around the Map Area andthen click the location where you wantthe staff member to go. The person willstop working and head off in thatdirection.

calling cleaners and mechanicsIf a building is in a dangerousstate of disrepair, a sceneryitem has been vandalized orsomething needs urgent

cleaning, then you can call a cleaneror mechanic to attend to theproblem immediately. Click eitherCALL MECHANIC or CALL CLEANER(as appropriate) from the BuildingInformation panel for that item.The first staff member tocomplete his or her current taskwill head straight on over.

The Staff ControlPanel

The StaffControl panelallows you toquickly andeasilymanage allyour staff inone go. You

can view all the staffcurrently in the resort or

those of a specifictype, by clicking theDOWN ARROWbutton next to theStaff Type box andthen selecting theappropriate typesyou want to displayfrom the drop down menu. The StaffControl panel also allows you to set theworking hours and salary for any staffmember, as well as hire new staff and firethose you no longer need.

hiring (and firing) staffWhen constructed, all staff buildings comeready stocked with one staff member.Some buildings, such as the CleanersShack, allow you to hire a few additionalstaff of that type up to a maximum perbuilding. Hiring new staff to cope withthe increased passage of guests isimportant as your resort expands.

There are a number of other ways youcan access the Staff Control panel tohire Staff. You can eitherclick a staff member,

To hire a staff member, open up theStaff Control panel and click the buttonnext to “Hire a new.” The staff memberwill appear in the browser. There are

staff type.

DISMISS: Dismissesthe currently selectedstaff member fromthe browser. Firing

staff members costs a smallredundancy fee, normally around aday’s salary.

staff salariesEvery staff member in SPRING BREAKneeds to be paid a salary in orderto do his or her job. Adjusting thestaff’s salary level can increase ordecrease their motivation to work;for example, increasing a cleaner’ssalary may encourage that workerto work faster and harder whiledecreasing the salary will probablyupset them.

Under the Salary column on theStaff Control panel you’ll see thesalary listed for every staff memberof the selected type. Use the scrollbar to the right of the Staff Controlpanel to scroll through all your staff.Click the following buttons to changethese amounts:

INCREASE:Increases salaryamount.

DECREASE:Decreases salaryamount.

ALL WAGES: Appliesthe change globally soall staff member of thesame type havethe same salary.

Adjusting staffmembers’ salaryfrom the StaffInformationpanel worksexactly the sameway. Click the staff memberand then click the Salary tab. You’llsee the same controls as detailedabove.

staff working hoursYour staff operate in ten-hour shiftsand are defaulted to work duringnormal daytime hours when firstemployed. You cannot change thelength of the shift, though you canask them to work longer hours bychanging their shift time when theyare still working. Word of warningthough: no one likes to work toolong. Pushing staff members tocontinually do one shift afteranother is likely to rub them thewrong way — eventually they’llprobably stop working altogether.It’s also important that you alter theworking hours so that some of yourstaff work during the evening —guests like to party in the eveningas well as during the day!

Under the Hours column on theStaff Control bar you’ll see theshifts each staff member of theselected type is currently assignedto work. You can use the scroll barto the right of the Staff Control

panel to scroll through all yourstaff. Working hours automaticallyadjust in ten-hour shifts as youincrease and decrease the startand finish times.Click thefollowing buttonsto alter theworking hours:

Staff Types

mechanicNothing lastsforever andwithout amechanic yourpossessionscertainly won’t last very long. All buildingsand attractions need constant maintenanceif they are to continue in service withoutfalling into disrepair and being closedto your guests.

Mechanics will make regular visitsto your buildings. The default isevery eight hours, though youshould increase or decrease

this depending how populara building is — the more use a

building gets, the greater thelikelihood it has of developingproblems. A mechanic will breakfrom his daily routine to fix anybuildings that require urgentattention. Can he fix it? Yes hecan.

You can set the number of visitsa mechanic makes to a buildingfrom the Maintenance tab withina building’s Building Informationpanel. You can also order amechanic to urgently attend arepair by clicking the building orpiece of vandalized scenery andclicking the CALL MECHANICbutton at the bottom of the

lifeguardEvery beach needs a lifeguard.

Lifeguards make guests feel safeand good by being on hand to

help any troubledswimmer, warn of

shark attacks andgenerally look goodwalking down thebeach. The morelifeguards you have,the quicker they canrespond to those guests get themselvesinto trouble. If you find the waters areunsafe, you can have a lifeguard close thatstretch of beach. Remember though,guests do not like being without wateractivities, so don’t keep them closed toolong. You can close a beach from thelifeguard’s Setting’ tab and also from theSea Safety Level Settings panel on each

to walk more than two yards toput rubbish in a bin, they’ll

probably just drop it on the groundinstead. Ironically they hate seeinglitter on the floor — there’s nopleasing some people. Hire as manycleaners as you can afford and leavethem to perform their duties, clearingup litter, scrubbing dirty toilets andremoving “ralph” from the side of theswimming pool.

If you find that you need to focus yourcleaners on emptying bins, go to theSettings tab within the Cleaner’s StaffInformation panel and toggle theappropriate order ON or OFF. Ordersthat are ticked are ON.

You can also order a cleaner to urgentlycleanse something by clicking the CALLCLEANER button at the bottom ofthe Building Informationpanel for that object(such as emptyinga bin or cleaningthe toilets).

security guardA few unsavoryguests will always tryand spoil the party by brawling andvandalizing. Hire a few securityguards to keep them in order andmake the other guests feel safer. Ifyou find that guests are still beingrowdy, then you can decrease thetolerance level of the securityguards and increase the amountof fines they hand out. Be carefulthough, if your tactics are tooheavy-handed, you may end updriving the other guests from yourresort.

You can alter a Security Guard’stolerance level from the Settings tabin the Security Guard’s StaffInformation panel. You cannot alterthe minor and serious fine amounts.

holiday repHoliday reps routinely chat with

guests to find out how they’refeeling and if they’rehaving a great time

or not. As your repswander around,

they’ll let you knowwhat the guests like

and dislike aboutyour resort, and may

offer some pointers asto how to deal with them.

You can adjust the amount of timeyour reps spend with your guestsfrom the Settings tab in the Rep’sStaff Information panel. The longera rep chats with your guests, thebetter the guests will feel and thegreater the improvement in theiroverall mood. The downside is you’llneed to employ more reps as theywon’t be able to chat with as manyguests in a day.

builderBuilders will standaround drinkingcoffee and shootingthe bull unless youissue new buildorders. Once you place a new buildingto construct or request one bedemolished, your builders leap intoaction and head toward the newconstruction/demo site (unless ofcourse it’s outside their workinghours). Builders construct or demolishbuildings in the order they are placed,spreading themselves out equallyamong the work. Obviously the fewerworkers you have constructing abuilding, the longer it will take tocomplete, so it’s better to issue a fewbuild orders at a time than many at once.

If a building requires urgent construction,use the Relocate option (explained earlierin this section) to send your builders towork on that specific building. A maximumof six builders can work on a building atany one time.

It’s about time we got down tobusiness, and we mean seriousbusiness. Make no mistake, youmay have created a smallgolden oasis, but withoutmoney it won’t stay that wayfor long. Salaries need paying,new attractions need adding,maintenance needs doing andprices need to be kept low.

The surrounding landscape,however lush, will mean nothingwithout the very best inaccommodation andentertainment. You need to do your

utmost to create the ultimate resort.Your guests will tend to patronize the

coolest places; if you let your resortslide, or don’t keep current with your

guests’ preferences, then you’ll see yourtrade start to dwindle.

The financial aspects of the game are reallystraightforward and simple to grasp;SPRING BREAK is about fun in the sun afterall. If your bank balance is negative or lessthan the cost of the building you wish topurchase, then no new construction workcan be carried out until you have sufficientfunds in your account.

daytime & evening businessThe day and night cycles play a big role inwhat the guests desire. During the day,most guests like to lie around on beachestrying to get that perfect bronze tan. Atnight they need other forms ofentertainment, for no matter how hardthey try they won’t get a tan in the dark.All buildings have certain opening andclosing times — though some can run

for 24 hours. Guests are more likelyto spend larger wads of cash when

you have an even balancebetween daytime andnighttime attractions.

ADJUSTINGPRICESAll buildings in SPRING BREAKhave either a chargefor theattraction or aprice for thegoods they sell.Increasing theamount you chargefor an item to makeyourself more profitis great in principle, but guests likea good deal and are liable tobecome upset if they feel they’rebeing ripped off. Sometimes you mayeven need to lower your prices toencourage your guests.

Overview

Holidays are all about sizzlinghot sunshine — but it’s not allfun in the sun. This idyllic statemay get interrupted withoccasional bouts of adverseweather affecting what yourguests want to do. And it’s notjust the weather — a number ofthings can go wrong in andaround your resort, rangingfrom a heat wave to sharkattacks. Although you can’tcontrol nature, protecting yourguests from these potential killersis a priority. A deceased guest is notonly a minor inconvenience, it’s bad

for business.

SUNSHINE: A lovely sunny day andeveryone will indulge themselves in

whatever they enjoy doing the most.

CLOUDY/OVERCAST: People sunbathingwill tend to get up and engage in otheractivities, as the perfect blaze of sunshineover the resort is under a light cloud cover.

LIGHT RAIN: Like the cloudy weather,guests will get up and do something else.Guests in general will not engage innew outdoor pursuits, seeking the driercomforts of restaurants and cafes ormaybe going for a stroll, with someguests continuing what they do quitehappily.

HEAVY RAIN: Even hardcoreguests retreat to their rooms orsimilar cover for the duration ofthe rainfall. Guests engaged inactivities such as jet-skiing willcontinue to brave theweather until the end oftheir turn before seekingcover.

THUNDERSTORM:Guests still outdoorswill be risking their lives.Lightning strikes will occur,potentially damaging propertyand injuring any lingering guestswho are still intent on enjoyingthe great outdoors no matterwhat the weather.

SHARK ATTACKS: Sharks arebad for business. Make sure yourlifeguards close any beaches whenthreatened by a shark attack.Remember though, guests getupset if the beaches are closed fortoo long.

FOOD POISONING: Iffy watersupply? Make sure you keep youresort clean and well maintained oryour guests will go a nice shade ofgreen, vomiting their guts up.

BEER SHORTAGE: Guests love beer, somuch so that you may encounter beershortages of certain brands if oversold —so try and offer a varied amount. Offeringan off-brand beer is better than havingno beer at all.

bound to happen fromtime to time. Whenever theydo, your unfortunate guests willwant swift and expert attention;and that’s just what they’ll getin this well-equipped first-aidpost, complete with expertlytrained nurse.

TOILET:Hardly themost

glamorousbuilding in your

resort, but one ofthe most vital all

the same. Providingadequate toilet facilities is an essential partof keeping the guests happy. If they havenowhere to go when nature calls, thenthey’ll be forced to pee on the spot, not apretty sight for any other guest.

REPS CHALET: Holidayreps are vital to thesmooth running of yourhotel. They’ll entertain,help and advise yourguests about allmanner of things.Without a reps chalet

you can’t hire any holiday reps.Each chalet can hold a maximum of fivereps, who tend to stay in the vicinity oftheir chalet, so place them carefully!

CLEANERS SHACK: Cleaners are youronly defense against litter andnasty things in yourresort. Every cleanersshack you build comes

complete with onenew cleanerequipped with amontage of

cleaning equipment. Throughhiring, you can house a maximumof five cleaners per shack.

SECURITY OFFICE:Give a guest alittle too much todrink and he orshe will startgetting rowdy.Most guests willjust end up

falling asleep at thispoint, but some will be intent oncausing mayhem, so a low-keysecurity presence is always a goodidea. Each security office comes withone security guard, ready to patrolyour resort, respond to any problemsand generally look menacing.

MAINTENANCE HUT: Excessive usage,wear-and-tear, vandals –they all mean onething to yourbuildings;breakdowns. To keepyour attractions in tip-top condition you’llneed to hire skilledmechanics. Eachmaintenance hut can hold a maximum offive mechanics. Every maintenance hutyou build is supplied with one ever-readymechanic.

GENERAL STORE: The generalstore sells a wealth ofessential items foryour guests, though

two of the productsare particularlyimportant: suncream and headachepills. Guests willconsume huge amounts of bothdepending on theircurrent desire; the more

they drink the more

HOTEL:The centerpiece ofany new resort, themain hotel complexhouses a receptionand administrationarea in addition to a number of stylishapartments. Hotels cannot be built; theycome ready-packaged as part of theresort. A hotel is open for 24 hours andcan accommodate a maximum of 100guests. A hotel is always present on a

map and cannot bebuilt or demolished.

BUILDERS YARD: Allof SPRING BREAK’sislands comeequipped with abuilders yard;

without one, youwouldn’t be able to construct anynew buildings.

A builders yard comescomplete with six eager workers.A builders yard is always presenton a map and cannot be built ordemolished.

COMPLAINTS: People complainand they comehere. In droves theyhuddle around thekiosk, voicing theirutter disdain of yourresort. There is acomplaints hut presenton every map and cannotbe built or demolished.

Hotel and Related POWER PLANT: Though a littleunsightly, these generators are state-of-the-art machinesthat provide anenormous amountof power for theirsmall size — a wolfin sheep’s clothing.As your resortgrows, you may needto build additionalgenerators to keep up with the increasingdemand for power. Each power plantgenerates 7500 units of power.

WATER CLEANING PLANT: It’s agood idea to builda water cleaningplant if you canafford it. They’renot essential, butthey do workwonders on thelocal water supply,which is often of dubious quality andcan play havoc with your guests’bowels. If the resort suffers a foodpoisoning attack, and a watercleaning plant has been built, thenthe recovery rate of the resort is alsospeeded up.
