There is something really compelling when a game is just Problems, huh. Thanks for the kind words!

Hahaha, if only we could fit those in backpacks full of pins! Sounds a bit dangerous and explodey...

Thank you! Feedback from players is what helps make our games great! 🥰
This screenshot of the Los Angeles map from the game Mini Motorways has the words "Creative Mode" spelled out with road tiles in cursive. A few golden skyscrapers dot the yellow hills, the land bordered by an aquamarine sea

This September, our team chose three beloved local institutions for our quarterly donations. Compassion Soup Kitchen & Kaibosh Food Rescue ensure those in need in Pōneke can eat & the Circus Hub provides classes & a safe practice venue for many local circus athletes! Check 'em out & get amongst!

We expected creativity from Creative Mode - it’s in the name! But Mini Motorways players continue to surprise and delight us, like this oddly zen Vancouver absolutely empty of cars and buildings. 🏒 Stick tap to /u/Many_Peas on the /r/MiniMotorways subreddit!
This minimalist map depicts the street layout of Vancouver, Canada, including Stanley Park and the North Shore, all the way east to Burnaby. No buildings surround the streets and no cars drive down the roads. This screenshot is from the video game Mini Motorways and it depicts the landforms and roads in a muted green colour palette.

Thank you! We're so lucky to get to do what we do. Here's to six more. :D

Fairy bread, funfetti and fondant–if Mini Motorways was a person, we know it would be wanting the brightest, most sugary six-year-old birthday cake imaginable. Thanks to all of you for keeping it sweet with us since 2019! 🎉
This drawing depicts a car-shaped slice of funfetti birthday cake, vanilla cake filled with sprinkles and iced in red. A candle burns atop the car's roof shaped like the number 6.

Playing through a game you already know can teach you new kupu (words) and kīwaha (phrases/idioms) for phrases you know in your own native language! 🚇 Can you spot which of those menu options is the Daily Challenge above?
