Play Overview
Take your machines on exciting rally races, and dangerous exploration missions, or build the craziest contraptions you can imagine in our huge sandbox. It makes engineering easy but still nurtures engineering thinking. Each block has unique features like shape, weight and functionality. They can be broken off, refitted and used to build something new. Individually the blocks are fairly simple, but combined, the possibilities are endless.
In the Stranded in Space game mode you crash land on an alien planet and must escape by rebuilding your spaceship from scrap. Explore the planet to collect the parts you need, but beware of the many dangers that lie ahead.
In the Trailmakers Rally mode, you start with just a few basic building blocks and a go-kart track. Progress through the Rally by earning bronze, silver or gold medals. Each race you unlock will give you new blocks to put on your vehicle. With ingenuity, racing skills and perseverance, you will be putting jet engines on your car in no time.
