Build a tiny brick city that comes alive

Lay out streets, canals and parks with hand-designed micro buildings. Families move in, find jobs, take taxis and fill the cafés, from sunrise to city lights.

Your city, brick by brick

A cozy city builder where everything you place has a purpose: every car on the road is someone going somewhere, and you can click on them to find out where.

Every citizen has a life

Every home comes with the family who lives there. They find jobs in your cafés, shops and offices, work their shifts, eat at home or out, meet friends in the park and call a taxi when it's too far to walk. Click anyone to see who they are, where they're going and how they feel.

Build it together

Send an invite link and build the same city at the same time. You see your friends' cursors and the pieces in their hands, their buildings rise as they place them, and every car, boat and citizen is the same on every screen.

From golden hour to city lights

Days pass with a real clock. The sun sets over the harbour, windows light up one by one, the jazz club opens, and the night shift heads out while the city sleeps.

Canals, harbours and parks

Draw roads and rivers that join up by themselves, throw bridges across, line the quays with canal houses and fill the parks with fountains, ponds and flower beds. Boats sail under your bridges while people stroll the streets.

Build with a budget, or just build

In City mode you start with 20,000 coins. Homes bring people, jobs bring money: balance the two, buy taxis, earn grants as the city grows. Or switch to Creative and build anything, the city lives all the same.

Every building is a real design

Cafés, fire stations, canal houses, skyscrapers and more, each one designed brick by brick. No procedural filler: if you can see it in the game, you can build it on your desk.

From the designers of Mini Modulars

Nicolas Carlier and BrickProject have been designing micro buildings for years: two books of step-by-step instructions, and a TikTok city that grew from 1 inhabitant to 61,700 in front of 84K followers. Micro Brick City turns that city into a game you can play.
