Floor unlocks and tree progression
Summary
Your tycoon has six floors, each unlocked by spending money. Each floor adds trees whose fruit is worth more when juiced. Floor 3 is where the Roberry tree becomes available — planting your first one earns the Beautiful Berries badge. Dragon Fruit, the highest-tier buyable fruit, sits on floor 6.
- Floor 1 Orange, Apple, Lemon, Grape, Raspberry, Strawberry, Blueberry, Lime
- Floor 2 Pineapple, Cherry, Peach, Pear, Coconut
- Floor 3 Roberry
- Floor 4 Grapefruit, Avocado, Durian, Passion Fruit, Blackberry, Eggplant, Watermelon, Banana
- Floor 5 Apricot, Kiwi, Pomegranate, Persimmon, Guava
- Floor 6 Dragon Fruit
Placeable plants and boosters
Tips
Equip the Planting Trowel and select an open slot to see what you can place. Boosters go in the same slots but produce no fruit — they boost your tycoon instead. Decorations are separate and use the Building Kit tool; they change how your tycoon looks but do nothing for income.
- The Enchanted Oak Tree gives money directly on collection without a trip to the Juicinator, and raises the shiny chance for every tree on your tycoon.
- The n00bfr00t tree gives one extra fruit per collect for each additional n00bfr00t you have placed, up to three trees.
- The Dropper Tree drops fruit every 2 seconds, faster than most plants.
- The Riddling Skeleton has a 50% chance every 30 seconds to shake all adjacent trees and also pays out instantly on collection.
- Big plant slots are required for larger trees like the Elder Roberry Tree and the Enchanted Oak Tree — regular slots will not accept them.
- The Robbery Tree drops fruit worth negative money.
The Item Chest
CheckThe Item Chest sits on the right side of your tycoon. Walk up to it and interact to collect whatever is stored inside. One new item is added every hour by default, and the chest holds a maximum of five. If you have VIP, the cap rises to ten items and the cooldown drops to thirty minutes.
- VIP players still need to check regularly the ten-item cap fills in five hours at the thirty-minute rate.
- Items found by shaking plants, popping balloons, prestiging, or completing the obby also count toward the Find Items quest.
Quests and tokens
Tips
Turn in a quest to receive tokens. Once your tokens hit the 1,000 cap, quest rewards switch to money instead. Tokens can be spent in the shop — the Balloon Radar, for example, costs 250 tokens.
- For the Collect Gold or Mutated Fruit quest, use the Waste Barrel and Midas Gauntlet together to generate the special fruits faster.
- For the Shake Fruit quest, use the Earth Staff — one click shakes every tree at once.
- For the Pop Balloons quest, equip the Balloon Radar to see every balloon on the map at once; raise your graphics settings to spot them all.
- Reaching 150 quest completions unlocks a second quest slot, and 300 completions unlocks a third.
Balloons and the obby
Tips
Green Balloons float around the map and can be popped for a chance to pick one up. They give five jump boosts and slow your fall. If you already have a Green Balloon, popping a red balloon gives you a chance at the Red Balloon, which has ten charges and a noticeably better fall reduction. The obby pays out a frenzy reward for each stage you clear.
- The Green Balloon has 5 jump charges; the Red Balloon has 10 and falls slower.
- The Umbrella, received the first time you encounter rain, slows your fall even more than the Red Balloon.
- The Balloon Radar costs 250 tokens from the shop and highlights every balloon on the map.
- Completing any obby stage unlocks the Obby Complete! badge and triggers a frenzy reward.
- You need 50 obby stage completions for the Spacebar Spammer badge, and the stages stack across sessions.

Common questions
FAQThe Juicinator feels slow. What can I do about it?
Buy the Juice Maker Speed Upgrade — it goes up to level 8 and each level makes the machine faster. If you have VIP, you can also toggle Auto Juice on the right side of the machine so it sells fruit without you pressing the button each time.
How do I get more quest slots?
You start with one quest slot. Turning in 150 quests total unlocks a second slot, and turning in 300 quests unlocks a third.
What happens if my Item Chest fills up?
Once the chest reaches its cap (5 items without VIP, 10 with VIP), new items stop being added until you collect some. Interact with the chest regularly so you never hit the ceiling and miss out on incoming items.
Can I play without spending Robux?
Yes. Every floor, tree, quest, obby stage, and badge is accessible without VIP. VIP speeds up the Item Chest and adds Auto Juice, but neither is required to reach prestige or complete the tycoon.
