In short, the game is similar to other co-op action games, except this one is about architecture. Explore the level, craft the necessary building materials, and order workers to build. You can play alone or with friends up to 4 players.

Being architect is easy




Examine the design plan, gather resources, give the order to build, and repeat. It is that easy! Once you get familiar with the basics, be ready to learn more about the craft of architecture.

You will visit construction sites of 7 different eras:
  • Ancient Egypt
  • Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome
  • Ancient Asia
  • European Middle Ages
  • European Baroque
  • European Art Nouveau
  • American Art Deco

Each era contains a multitude of new architectural elements for construction. You can build unique historical buildings by combining them. Besides that each era opens other game mechanics as well. Discover all the architectural secrets!
