Pocket Market
Complete guide to the Pocket Market smartphone app in inZOI covering shopping, food delivery, home services (cleaning, repair, babysitting, exorcism), selling paintings and bonsai, pricing tables, and the distinction between Pocket Market sales and computer-based digital sales.
The Pocket Market is a smartphone application in inZOI that serves as a one-stop shop for purchasing food, ordering home services, and selling crafted items. It is accessible at any time by pressing P to open the phone, then selecting the Pocket Market app. The Pocket Market is available to all Zois from the Young Adult life stage onward.
Shopping and Food Delivery
The Pocket Market's shopping section offers a wide variety of prepared food items, cooking ingredients, and beverages that are delivered directly to the Zoi's current location:
Category | Price Range | Examples |
|---|---|---|
Prepared Food | 5M to 80M | Over 35 food items ranging from simple snacks to full meals. |
Cooking Ingredients | 3M and up | Raw ingredients like Tomato (3M), Onion (3M), and Flour (3M) for home cooking. |
Coffee and Tea | 8M to 16M | Standard coffee drinks, lattes, and teas. |
Specialty Beverages | 12M to 18M | Over 40 beverage options including specialty coffee blends and imported drinks. |
Food delivery is one of the fastest ways to address a Zoi's Hunger need when there is no time to cook. Items arrive almost instantly after purchase. However, buying food regularly through the Pocket Market is significantly more expensive than cooking meals at home using raw ingredients.
Home Services
The Pocket Market's Home Services tab provides on-demand professional services:
Service | Cost | Description |
|---|---|---|
Spick-And-Span Cleaning | 100M | Basic house cleaning. A cleaner arrives and tidies up the lot. |
Good-As-New Cleaning | 500M | Deep cleaning service. Thoroughly cleans the entire property. |
Gold Handed Repair Service | 100M | A repairman arrives to fix all broken objects on the lot. |
Two-Hour Babysitting | 100M | A babysitter watches toddlers for 2 in-game hours. |
24-Hour Babysitting | 500M | A babysitter watches toddlers for a full in-game day. |
Ghost Exorcism | 3,000M | Removes ghosts from the property. The most expensive home service. |
Babysitting services are only available for households with toddlers. The babysitter arrives within approximately 1 in-game hour after purchase, and the Zoi must greet the visitor to let them inside. For more details on childcare options, see Nanny and Childcare.
Selling Items
The Pocket Market's Sell tab allows Zois to list certain handcrafted items for instant sale:
Paintings: Completed paintings from the Art and Painting skill can be listed and sold instantly through the Pocket Market.
Bonsai: Pruned bonsai trees from the Gardening skill can be sold for Meow.
Painting Quality and Pricing
Painting sale prices depend on quality. The Pocket Market generally pays above the base value:
Quality | Base Value | Pocket Market Price |
|---|---|---|
Medium | 48M to 52M | Above base value |
Good | 160M to 175M | Above base value |
Excellent | 800M to 875M | Above base value |
Perfect | 3,200M to 3,500M base | 6,000M+ on Pocket Market |
Perfect-quality paintings are among the most valuable items in the game, with Pocket Market prices exceeding 6,000 Meow per painting. For Zois with high Art skill levels, painting and selling through the Pocket Market is one of the most profitable activities available.
Digital Creations: Not Sold on Pocket Market
An important distinction: digital creations such as books, programs, videos, and music are NOT sold through the Pocket Market. Instead, these items must be sold through the Sell option on the Zoi's computer. This applies to all content created through the Programming, Writing, Video Production, and Music skills. Only physical items (paintings, bonsai) use the Pocket Market's Sell tab.
Tips
Use food delivery sparingly. Cooking at home with purchased ingredients is much cheaper than ordering prepared meals.
The Repair Service at 100M is a bargain compared to the time and skill required to fix broken objects manually. Use it liberally when multiple items break at once.
List Perfect-quality paintings on the Pocket Market as soon as they are finished. At 6,000M+ per painting, this is one of the best income sources in the game.
The 24-Hour Babysitting service at 500M is worth it for career-focused Zois who need a full day of uninterrupted work. See the money making guide for other income strategies.
Stock up on cooking ingredients through the shopping tab rather than buying prepared food. A Tomato costs 3M as an ingredient versus 15M or more for a prepared tomato-based dish.
Remember that digital creations (books, music, videos, programs) are sold through the computer, not the Pocket Market. Check the computer's Sell menu for these items.
