Mall Rivals Multiplayer Guide
Mall Rivals is built for multiplayer chaos — up to 8 players run rival stores in one shared mall. Learn how many players you can bring, how co-op works, and how to win the battle for customers.
How Many Players?
Mall Rivals supports 1-8 players in a single mall. With fewer players the mall is calmer; with 8 it is pure chaos as everyone undercuts, sabotages and proposes policies.
The game supports single-player, online PvP, LAN PvP, online co-op, and LAN co-op — so you can play exactly how you like.
Co-op and PvP Strategies
In co-op, split roles: one player manages stock and pricing while another watches rivals and works the board room. Combined income beats any single rival.
In PvP, the winner is the player who reads the mall best. Watch which store types are under-supplied, claim the busiest locations, and time your policy proposals to hurt rivals more than yourself.
Remember the police in 1.0 — heavy sabotage gets you chased, so keep a clean enough record to stay in business.
