About the Game

Become one man construction crew and build houses like a simple African mud hut and as complex as a super modern energy-saving architectural marvel.



Let us take you on a trip to various spots on the globe and experience true architectural variety. You will try to build a mud hut in Africa, an igloo in the Arctic, a Canadian house, a log cabin in Siberia, a traditional house made of bricks, airbricks, or concrete, and many, many more…
Every house consists of hundreds of elements you need to match according to the rules of construction.
