Game pageMini Metro: your lines put a city in motion
Draw a line, watch trains move, then adjust as stations crowd. Reviews describe the pleasure of seeking efficiency beneath a simple appearance. A little route map becomes a problem you keep solving yourself.
One player enjoys sweeping changes to all their lines just before losing, then watching the stations clear. It is a concrete moment of seeing your design work.
What makes it fun
Watch your network come alive
Trains run along the lines you draw between stations and carry passengers. There is satisfaction in watching your own subway map work smoothly.
Reroute your way out of a jam
When passengers pile up at a station, you can redraw lines or move trains between them. You can see the crowd ease as your revised network takes effect.
Rethink the map as it grows
New stations appear and passenger demand grows. The changing city keeps you reconsidering where to use your limited lines and trains.
