Subway Sketch is coming soon

Draw your own subway on real cities. Real stations, real maps, and the order the real lines opened, all on a budget.

Subway Sketch is almost here: a game where you draw your own subway on real cities.

Every city is a real one. Stations sit at their real coordinates on a real map, rivers and all. You drag from station to station to lay track and open a line. Every piece of track costs money, and the fares from the riders you carry pay for the next one.

Stations do not all arrive at once. They appear in the order the real lines opened, so a city grows on your screen the way it grew in history. Every station is a kind of place, from homes and offices to gateways, leisure and landmarks, and riders head for the nearest station of their shape.

Then the crowds come. Rush hour sends riders between homes and offices, and if too many wait for too long, the run is over. Add trains and extra cars, upgrade speed and fares, and keep an eye on the budget: stay in the red for a whole week and you go bankrupt.

Hold on past the last station and the city is complete. The result card puts your network next to the shape of the real one, built on the same budget, and shows who carried more riders.

You can draw in London, Tokyo, Paris, New York and Seoul, among others. Complete a city to unlock the next one, and to open Remix, where you set the rules yourself.

The map comes from OpenStreetMap contributors. It plays offline and asks for no account.

Subway Sketch is coming soon to Google Play and the App Store.
