The Making of Lumino City: Companion app released for award-winning iOS / Apple TV game

Lumino City wasn't built like any ordinary game. This city went up one building at a time, hand-constructed from cardboard, glue, and miniature lights and motors.


The Making of Lumino City takes you behind the scenes to show how this model world went from paper to play - an intense, three-year creative process that culminated in a BAFTA award for Artistic Achievement and a showcase at London's Victoria & Albert Museum. Explore stunning handcrafted environments up close, learn how puzzle sequences were created, and even play around with the lights and camera used to film the game!
Lumino City is a wonderful puzzle adventure crafted entirely by hand out of paper, card, miniature lights, and motors, for iOS, PC, Mac and Apple TV.


Made by a small indie team in London over the course of three years, and released on PC and Mac in late 2014, Lumino City has garnered numerous awards including the BAFTA for Artistic Achievement in 2015.














History

State of Play built an entire city out of real materials and filmed it as the backdrop for the game. Through this gorgeous environment weaves a clever, charming and puzzling adventure. Lumi’s grandfather, the caretaker of Lumino City, has been kidnapped. To find him, you must explore the city and figure out the fascinating mechanisms that power this unique world.

Winner of numerous international awards, including the BAFTA for Artistic Achievement alongside nominations for Innovation and Best British Game, Lumino City now finds its home on the App Store as the perfect tactile experience for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.
