Your mall has several shops for you to stock, staff and manage. You start in the grocery store.

Spooky Mall is a time management game. Your goals are to keep your customers happy, by keeping the coolers and shelves stocked, the store clean, and checking them out in a timely manner. There are of course, more jobs and a variety of customers; some of whom are helpful, others not to much. There’s more to good customer service than just keeping your shelves stocked, you know!
You earn new stores as you progress through levels in the previous store in Spooky Mall. You start with a very simple cafe. At the start of each level you’re given goals with dollar amounts. You have to meet the minimum requirement of “fair” to complete the level but there are also good, and excellent challenges. The dollar amounts of the goals gets higher with each progressive level, as does the number of displays you need to maintain.
The cafe in “upgrade purchase” mode.

Upon completion of each level you can use your money to upgrade your shop. Upgrades include things like bigger displays (which reduces the number of times you need to refill them), items on your checkout stand (which keep the customers happy and occupied longer…happy customers give you more money upon checkout), and my personal favorite, more “slots” for your grocery cart. One of the challenges in Spooky Mall is to keep your shelves full. At the start of the game you can only hold enough in your cart to fill 3 displays at a time, after which you need to run to the stock room for more. As you can imagine, getting more slots makes it easier to keep more displays full. There are many other upgrades in each store.
