About the Game

To Be Connected is a peaceful, minimalist world-building puzzle game where you construct your world one tile at a time and build a thriving railway network. As you grow your landscapes, completing clusters unlocks new stations waiting to be connected. Every tile you place shapes the terrain into clusters, and completing those clusters rewards new stations and resources. Balancing your expanding world becomes the heart of the challenge: plan your network, connect every station, and avoid running out of tiles or railways.

Grow worlds, build railways, and connect every station.

You begin with just a few land tiles and railways. By placing them strategically, completing clusters to unlock stations, and connecting your stations with railways, you resources, giving you the freedom to shape your world. Play continues until the map is complete or you run out of resources.

The Endless Mode invites you to relax and chase high scores as you expand an ever-growing railway world, unlocking stations and optimizing your rail network. For players who enjoy more structure, a dedicated Country Mode lets you rebuild real-world nations on limited, predefined maps. Here, space is tight and every tile matters—you’ll need smart planning and careful routing to connect every station and complete every required connection.
