Overview
About this game
Grid:Locked is a city building puzzle game, with an interactive world, varied optional game mechanics - like driving, platforming, collectible hunting - and an engaging narrative.
Build cities block by block, making smart decisions, when limited by either the number of construction elements, or a stingy budget. Optimize for the best possible layouts for top prestige points and bragging rights.
Take care to optimize not just for building placement, but making sure to have a clean road network, where traffic can flow freely. Many kinds of road vehicles, trains and pedestrians need to be able to get to their destinations.
Take to the streets (many of which you'll have built yourself), and explore around the city block. Look for secrets, find unique interactions, or platform up to some of the most hard to reach areas if you are truly curious and up for the challange.
If you don't fancy walking, you can also take one of the many available cars for a spin. Look for hidden events, like races or time trials. You may have to reconsider your street designs, if you want to give yourself the best possible chance at the top times.
Don't just explore aimlessly, go hunting for collectibles. They may contain extra credits or new buildings, to enable you to go above and beyond the level goals. They could also contain hidden lore details, if you want to really dig deep. Don't worry if you're a completionist, we will keep track of your collection's progress.
Get to know Pete "Hard Hat" Peterson, as he guides you through your city building journey, while making sure everything is up to code. Try engaging in conversation with him when you get the chance, who knows, he may let you in on some industry secrets.
