Idle Area 51 brings the Simulation genre to life, and throws up exciting challenges for gamers. Developed by PlaySide Studios, this Android game is best experienced on BlueStacks, the World’s #1 app player for PC and Mac users.

About the Game

Ever wondered what it’d be like to run your own top-secret government base packed with aliens and crashed UFO parts? In Idle Area 51, you’re thrown right into the middle of a classified desert facility, scrambling to gather as much alien tech as you can. You’ll start with almost nothing, but it won’t stay quiet for long—the more secrets you uncover, the more your operation grows, and trust me, the stakes get weirder (and bigger) before you know it.

Game Features

  • Build & Expand Your Facility
    Begin with just a few scraps of alien machinery and steadily transform your hidden base into a sprawling research center. New labs, more storage, extra workers—it’s all about growth.

  • Research Alien Technology
    Dive into all sorts of offbeat projects. Experiment on alien samples, tinker with UFO blueprints, and even play around with mysterious laser tech. Who knows what you’ll discover next?

  • Upgrade & Automate
    Want to speed things up? Add more vans to haul in crash site loot or set up faster workstations so your team can crank out discoveries around the clock.

  • Government Intrigue
    Stay on your toes. Secret agents and “Guys in Black” might just pop by for a surprise inspection, so you’ll need to juggle your research while keeping things hush-hush.

  • Tactical Misinformation
    Spin a good story! Run clever misinformation campaigns to keep nosy outsiders at bay. After all, you don’t want the world knowing what’s really going on inside Area 51.

  • Defend & Adapt
    Raids and unexpected events are part of the job. Upgrade defenses, adapt your strategy, and make the tough calls to keep your operation safe.

  • Mysterious Rewards
    Crack open interplanetary Star Gates and tap into the power of enigmatic Quasars to boost your research, all while trying to stay one step ahead.

Oh, and if you want to see your base on a bigger screen, BlueStacks has you covered for that extra oomph.

Get ready for a buttery smooth, high-performance gaming action only on BlueStacks.
