RELEASED in 2014, the original Monument Valley was one of the early stand-out games on iOS, winning the Apple Design Award for best iPad game of the year.

Two sequels and 11 years later, Monument Valley 3 arrives with a similarly understated, minimalist approach to game design.

Inspired by the works of Escher, Japanese prints and Moroccan architecture, Monument Valley is a meditative puzzle game that revolves around optical illusions and guiding your character through a linear but beautifully realised world.
