How to play

Basics

Playing Profitville is easy as 1-2-3! First (1) select one or more similar items, then (2) click the matching box, and finally (3) ship the closed box by clicking it. This is the very basic way to play the game. There are more advanced tricks which will give you more points.

Filling with one move

You will receive a bonus of $50 if you fill a box with only one move. To achieve this you need to select as many items as stated on the matching box. After selecting the necessary amount you need to click the matching box to fill it at once.

Linking

You can link the boxes by filling two adjacent boxes. Every link is worth $50 so you can increase your score a lot by linking the boxes before shipping them. There is even a trophy for linking all the boxes on the screen and then shipping them all at once.

Combos

If you fill or ship boxes without selecting any new items you can gain combo points. For example if you select 12 trains and then fill 3 three boxes with 4 trains each you reach a combo level of three. Every combo level after the first is worth $10 so three consequent actions will give $30 extra.
