A unicorn in overalls would like a peach bubble tea topped with blueberry jelly—another typical day in Boba Story. Serve fanciful drinks to cute critters while expanding and personalizing your cozy café. Counters that look like tree stumps and a cabinet full of custard tarts and mochi doughnuts? Business is about to boom!

What we love: The wild variety of tea bases, add-ons, and toppings to unlock. Make custom concoctions for bears in lab coats and turtles in business suits—perhaps honeydew tea infused with dinosaur-shaped boba and topped with gummy worms. Can we get this in real life?

Quick tip: See a jiggling teapot on the drink counter? Tap it to start a quick mini-game, like timing the perfect pour or nailing the ideal tea temperature. The better you do, the more the customer will pay for their drink.

Meet the creator: Bria Sullivan designed Boba Story using feedback from players who enjoy bubble tea—every tea type and topping in the game was suggested by a real person. Sullivan’s Honey B Games also teamed up with YouTube star Hank Green to make the cozy productivity app Focus Friend, a 2025 App Store Award winner.
