The story

The Pink City is losing its colour, and only you can bring it back.

In 1727, Sawai Jai Singh II drew a new city on nine squares: Jaipur. Court legend says nine guardian gems keep its colours bright, and now, one by one, they are vanishing. Play as Aarav or Meera, grandchild of the City Palace archivist, and follow the trail of the missing gems through the real monuments of the Pink City.

Riding a wind up inside the Hawa Mahal, past its windows

Explore real monuments

Ride the winds up the honeycomb face of the Hawa Mahal. Turn the hours at the Jantar Mantar and walk the shadows of the largest stone sundial in the world. Climb to Amer Fort and turn the mirrors of the Sheesh Mahal until a sunbeam finds its gem. Every place in the game is a real place in Jaipur, rebuilt in 3D.

Johari Bazaar at dusk, lit with lamps and marigold garlands for a festival night

Walk the old city

Stroll Johari Bazaar under its pink arcades, cross Badi Chaupar and follow Tripolia Bazaar to the palace gates. Stallholders call out, townsfolk turn to look and autos weave past. Ride a rickshaw between the monuments, and when a gem comes home, the bazaar lights up for a festival night of lamps and marigold garlands.

A Time Echo: the Sheesh Mahal's ceiling glittering like stars by a single candle

See the past where it happened

Touch a shimmer in the stone and watch history play out on the spot: Jai Singh II laying out his city on nine squares, astronomers reading the night sky in the Jai Prakash, the Sheesh Mahal glittering by a single candle, the Palace of Winds rising in 1799, and the silver urns that carried Ganga water to London in 1902.

The Jantar Mantar's great sundial, back in colour once its gem is home

Every gem brings the colour back

Recover a guardian gem and watch its monument flood back to life, the Pink City returning one place at a time. This release brings home three of the nine, from the Hawa Mahal, the Jantar Mantar and Amer Fort, with the Old City to walk between them. More monuments are on the way.
