About Bobalionaire
Bobalionaire is a free boba tea shop game with a story. Grandma Lin's little tea house on Lantern Lane is empty: everybody lines up at the flashy MEGA BOBA across the street, and Grandma has sprained her wrist. So you step behind the counter with her secret brown sugar pearl recipe and Mochi the shop cat. Make the best bubble tea on the street, win the customers back, and save up to buy the MEGA BOBA building!
It's a hands-on boba making game: every drink is made by hand. Drag the bag of tapioca pearls into the pot and tap the pot when the ring turns green, so the pearls come out perfectly chewy. Scoop the pearls into a cup, hold the teapot over it and stop pouring in the green band, top it up with milk, pump in taro, mango or strawberry syrup, then drag the cup into the sealing machine. Ka-chunk! Wiggle the sealed cup to shake it, and hand it over. Your customer stabs the straw in, sips, and lets you know how you did.
Level up to unlock 16 drinks for your recipe book, from Classic Milk Tea and Taro Milk to Brown Sugar Tiger Milk (never shake it!), Thai Milk Tea and Matcha Latte, plus toppings like lychee jelly, popping boba, pudding and rainbow jelly. Spend your tips on a second pearl pot, a turbo sealer, an auto-shaker, paper lanterns, wall paint and printed cup seals. Rainy days, the Boba Blogger and busy night markets keep every week different.
If you like bubble tea games, this one is made to be played online in your browser on phones, tablets and computers, with touch or mouse. There's nothing to download and no sign-up, your progress saves automatically, and a relaxed mode turns off the waiting timers for younger players.

Tips for Bobalionaire
Keep a pot boiling
Pearls are in almost every order. Start a new batch as soon as the sugar bowl gets low, and tap the pot the moment its ring turns green.
Stop in the green band
While you pour, a green band on the cup shows where to stop. For milk tea, stop the tea at the dashed line and fill up the rest with milk.
Read the ice
An ice cube on the ticket means one scoop of ice. A crossed-out cube means NO ice: adding it costs you the tip.
Never shake a tiger
Brown Sugar Tiger Milk shows a crossed-out shake sign. The brown sugar stripes are the whole point, so serve it without shaking.
Two cups at once
The Extra Cup Holder (level 3) lets you build two drinks side by side, the fastest way to raise your tips.
Pet Mochi
Tap the shop cat any time for a purr. Pet Mochi 25 times for a trophy.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bobalionaire free to play?
Yes. Bobalionaire is a free boba tea game that runs in your browser. You don't need to download anything or create an account.
How do you make bubble tea in the game?
Put a cup on a cup holder, scoop in the tapioca pearls and any toppings, add ice if the ticket shows it, then hold the teapot over the cup and stop in the green band. Milk teas get milk on top, flavored drinks a pump of syrup. Then drag the cup into the sealing machine, wiggle it to shake it and hand it to your customer.
How do I cook perfect tapioca pearls?
Drag the bag of pearls into the pot. A ring above the pot fills up while they boil: tap the pot when the ring is green and the pearls drain into the warm sugar bowl, where they stay perfect. Wait too long and they go mushy. A second pot and the pot timer upgrade make it easier.
Can I play Bobalionaire on my phone?
Yes. It works on phones, tablets and computers. On a phone it opens full screen in landscape, and every action works with touch: drag, hold to pour and wiggle to shake.
Is Bobalionaire OK for kids?
Yes. It's a cheerful cooking game made for ages 6 and up, with no violence, no chat and no sign-up. A pointing hand shows every step on the first day, and relaxed mode turns off the waiting timers.
Does the game save my progress?
Yes. Your money, level, upgrades, recipe book and day are saved automatically in your browser. Clearing your browser data resets the game.
How do I get bigger tips?
Get every step on the ticket right, fill the cup to the green band, use perfectly cooked pearls and shake milk teas well. Perfect drinks in a row build a combo worth up to 48% more tips, and rush hour, rainy days and customers in a hurry pay extra.
