Press release:
Stockholm, Sweden — August 18, 2026 | Maximum Entertainment today announced Hexplorando, a relaxing puzzle-building game developed by Hexplora Interactive that invites players to travel the globe and rebuild some of the world’s most iconic locations, one hexagonal tile at a time.

Coming to PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2027, Hexplorando combines cozy puzzle-solving, exploration, and creative building in a colorful journey around the world.

Hexplorando’s first ever demo will be playable at Maximum Entertainment’s Indie Arena booth at Gamescom 2026 (Hall 10 Booth 10).

In Hexplorando, players embark on a globe-spanning adventure through 40 puzzle levels inspired by real-world locations. Piece by piece, you can reconstruct landscapes and cities, discover famous landmarks, and build a collection of monuments that can later be used to create their own worlds in Sandbox mode.

Hexplorando features:

• Rebuild the world, tile by tile: Solve 40 relaxing hex-tile puzzles based on real-world locations, from New York City rooftops and the River Thames to the Great Wall of China and the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.

• Discover and collect iconic landmarks: Unlock hundreds of landmarks throughout your journey, complete with real-world photography and facts about the places you discover.

• Create your own world: Take the landmarks you have unlocked into Sandbox mode and use them to freely build and experiment with your own creations.

Whether carefully finding the perfect tile placement or simply enjoying the satisfaction of watching a famous destination take shape, Hexplorando offers an approachable, wholesome puzzle experience built around discovery and creativity.

Hexplorando will launch on PC via Steam and on Nintendo Switch in 2027. Players can wishlist the game now on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2736590/Hexplorando/
