hexplorando

Hexplorando is a cozy 3D building game in which you rebuild the world’s most iconic places, one hexagon at a time. 

The gameplay is simple: you have to place hexagonal tiles in order to match with their neighbors, creating the feeling of building a wonderful landscape little by little.

As you place tiles of geography, natural resources, human settlements, and historical monuments, you unveil the rich landscape of our planet: a relaxing experience that lets you travel all around the world and collect hundreds of international landmarks. From the rooftops of New York City to the banks of the Thames river, from the Great Wall of China to the beach of Rio de Janeiro, every puzzle reveals a place that actually exists.

🧩 PUZZLE YOUR WAY AROUND THE WORLD

Travel across real-world locations, each one a handcrafted hex puzzle.

In Puzzle Mode, tiles can only be placed where they perfectly match with their neighbours. Once all tiles are placed, a puzzle is completed and you will be able to select the next one… and so on until you complete the level.

🗼 DISCOVER REAL LANDMARKS

Some puzzles have a special tile with a historic monument, a natural wonder or a hidden gem you’ve never heard of.… In other words, a landmark! 

Completing the puzzle, you automatically unlock the landmark for your collection and your future creations. Discover the Sagrada Familia, the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids of Giza and hundreds more. Each landmark comes alive with real-world photography and the fascinating story behind it.

🌍 AROUND THE WORLD IN 40 PUZZLES

Circumnavigate the world in 40 puzzles, each one based on a famous location.

Choose where to start your journey around the world, your home city or a place you’ve always wanted to visit, and select your route each step of the way. Travel by train, ship or plane, and each route changes where you enter the next puzzle.

🎨 YOUR CREATIONS

Finished puzzling? Use every landmark you’ve unlocked in Sandbox Mode to create your own landscapes.

While creating, tiles can be placed anywhere but the score will depend on how well they match with their neighbors: the higher your score the more you will be able to customize your creations later on.

Procedural quests offer short term challenges that must be completed to gain an extra tile in the inventory. Failing a quest you lose one tile… so you can run out of tiles.

It's up to you to find your unique style, balancing the score and the inventory, while creating the best possible landscape with the tiles you are given.

Once you complete an area you can choose where to build next, creating endless landscapes… but always building in a single area at a time.
