contents The Maker-Breaker resolving game is a game played on a graph $G$ by Resolver and Spoiler. The players taking turns alternately in which each player selects a not yet played vertex of $G$. The goal of Resolver is to select all the vertices in a resolving set of $G$, while that of Spoiler is to prevent this from happening. The outcome $o(G)$ of the game played is one of $\mathcal{R}$, $\mathcal{S}$, and $\mathcal{N}$, where $o(G)=\mathcal{R}$ (resp.\ $o(G)=\mathcal{S}$), if Resolver (resp.\ Spoiler) has a winning strategy no matter who starts the game, and $o(G)=\mathcal{N}$, if the first player has a winning strategy. In this paper, the game is investigated on corona products $G\odot H$ of graphs $G$ and $H$. It is proved that if $o(H)\in\{\mathcal{N}, \mathcal{S}\}$, then $o(G\odot H) = \mathcal{S}$. No such result is possible under the assumption $o(H) = \mathcal{R}$. It is proved that $o(G\odot P_k) = \mathcal{S}$ if $k=5$, otherwise $o(G\odot P_k) = \mathcal{R}$, and that $o(G\odot C_k) = \mathcal{S}$ if $k=3$, otherwise $o(G\odot C_k) = \mathcal{R}$. Several results are also given on corona products in which the second factor is of diameter at most $2$.
