Play Potion Shop online
Potion Shop is a cozy shop-management game: you are Pip the potion-monger, running a tiny magic shop with a 9-plot greenhouse out back. Plant Sunpetal, Mooncap, Emberroot and Starberry seeds, harvest them when they glow, combine up to three ingredients in the cauldron, and discover nine original recipes — from humble Sun Draught to the triple-ingredient Abyssal Elixir. Up to three blob customers wait at the counter with specific cravings; serve them quickly for bigger tips, because an impatient customer storms off and costs you a strike. Five strikes close the shop. Can you turn $45 of seed money into $450 within five shop days?
How to control Potion Shop

- Harvest: click/tap a glowing mature plant

- Sell: tap a shelf potion to serve the matching customer
- Tap grey Cloudy Slop to toss it
- M: mute / unmute
- R: restart
How to play
- 1
Pick a seed and tap empty greenhouse plots to plant. Plants mature on their own — tap glowing plants to harvest.
- 2
Tap ADD in the pantry to load up to 3 ingredients into the cauldron, then BREW. The recipe book (top right) lists all 9 potions.
- 3
Customers want specific potions. Tap a shelf potion to sell it to the matching customer — faster sales earn bigger tips.
- 4
A customer who waits too long storms off and you earn a strike. Five strikes close the shop.
- 5
Reach $450 by the end of day 5 to win.
Tips for a better run
Keep all 9 plots planted at all times — idle soil is lost income.
Match brewing to the most impatient customer first; tips scale with remaining patience.
Two-ingredient potions are fast and reliable; save triple brews for high-value orders.
Never let the cauldron sit empty while ingredients pile up in the pantry.
Tap grey Cloudy Slop to toss it — a failed experiment shouldn't clog your shelf.
Frequently asked questions
Is Potion Shop a copy of an existing potion game?
No. It takes only the general shop-sim genre (grow ingredients, craft items, serve customers) as inspiration. The recipes, ingredient names, characters, rules, art, audio and code are all original work created for this game.
How do I brew a specific potion?
Open the recipe book (RECIPES button, top right) to see all nine recipes. Tap ADD next to each ingredient listed in the recipe to load the cauldron, then press BREW. Any other combination becomes Cloudy Slop, worth $3 — tap it on the shelf to toss it.
How do tips work?
Every sale pays the potion's price plus a tip of up to 30% of the price, scaled by the customer's remaining patience. Serve the most impatient customer first to maximize tips.
How do I win or lose?
Reach $450 before the end of day 5 to win. You lose immediately on your fifth strike — a strike happens whenever a customer's patience runs out and they storm off.
Do plants wither if I ignore them?
No. Mature plants wait patiently until you harvest them, so focus on customers first when the counter gets busy.
