Build Your Palace is a relaxing, low-stakes simulation game that focuses on the aesthetics of architecture. The goal is simple: gather resources and slowly construct an elaborate palace. It’s not particularly challenging, but there’s a distinct satisfaction in watching your empty plot of land turn into a sprawling royal estate.
The controls are simple, and the graphics are clean, though they can be a bit repetitive after a few hours of play. It’s the kind of game you play while listening to a podcast—it doesn't demand your full attention, but it provides enough of a sense of progression to stay rewarding. It’s perfect for casual gamers who enjoy building and decorating without the stress of time limits or combat.
Detailed architectural design options
Wide variety of furniture and decor
Relaxing, stress-free gameplay
Satisfying progression system
Focus on upgrading your resource production early. Higher-level wood and stone quarries will allow you to build complex structures much faster, preventing bottlenecks during the late-game construction phases.
Follow blueprints to place structural elements. Once the main walls and roof are complete, enter decoration mode to place furniture, fountains, and trees to increase your palace's prestige score.
Yes, there is a snapshot mode that allows you to take pictures of your palace to share on social media.
This is a memory game, it is a lot of fun if you like challenging your memory to build it stronger. I’ve read a lot of comments that people say it’s no fun and has no point, but the point is to use your memory to recall the pictures after you see them. If you don’t know what to do, just make up a little story that links them together in order, every time you do it, you get a little better at it. It’s a game, it’s that simple. To the developers: I would love to see the icons animate during the recall phase. I don’t always recognize them when they’re not animated.
Great game for memory. Found even more challenge and fun playing with a 9 year old on my team. I taught her to create a story she taught me to use different story telling and to go faster and faster! What fun!
I loved this game so much but when I opened it and there was an update it all went downhill. Instead of having to remember which ones you saw mixed with decoys and click them in order you know only see the ones that were showed. I’m always having to fix it because when I move an icon it lands in the wrong place 90% of the time. Also there’s no “finished” button so unlike before, you could rearrange until you got it right there is no real risk of getting it wrong here...honestly I deleted it after this update.
Great game, with a lot of replay value and beautiful in simplicity, but as another review said, the update was a big downgrade for the icon selection part of the game. Please add an option to toggle the old style, where you select icons from all the available ones, not just the ones that were shown. Making sure to memorize the correct icons, and not confuse them with similar looking ones was a very enjoyable part of the game before. This was taken away with the update. Similarly, the removal of the “confirm” button takes away the need to commit to your choices, another fun part of the game before. Lastly, selecting icons is less convenient post-update due the icons being smaller. Please give players an option to enjoy the game as it was previously! Thank you!
The animations are the centerpiece of this game, because they're so beautiful and interesting. There needs to be a library of some sort where you can go back and watch the animations again. Maybe once you've successfully remembered it in a sequence, then it appears in your library where you can go and see it there out of the game modes.
I’ve been trying to develop memory palaces for almost a year now for school but didn’t know how to practice and didn’t keep track of how much I remembered. This REALLY helps and its beautiful ❤️
The name is misleading, as the app really has little to do with the memory palace technique. However, it is an excellent training app for the story method (a.k.a. The mnemonic link system), which is technique that is often used inside a memory palace but it stands on its own.
First off, I expected a different game. I was under the impression, that you could somehow visually or graphically build or construct palaces. The art looked nice enough. Second, and most important, another reviewer asked for landscape mode among other things and the developer answered that all his points were fixed in the latest update. But there is NO LANDSCAPE mode and I hate to use my iPad upright. For what it is, the game is nicely done. I only won‘t be using it much because of the portrait issue.
