Experience a whole new dimension in gaming!

Play strategy on multiple levels

Gridopolis is an innovative new strategy game where players (ages 8 and up) use simple parts to build and play games. With familiar rules from checkers, chess and tic-tac-toe, it's fast and easy to learn.
Just move, jump, capture, and win!

No two games are the same

Gridopolis features three-dimensional tabletop gameplay that changes during play. Gameplay is open-ended so you can modify the layout while you play! Just 'add-a-pad' to grow the gridset or play the 'blocker-box' to shrink the gridset.

Social and screen free

Play and design strategy games without screens or batteries. Gridopolis promotes social interaction and collaboration through classic fun.

Education focused

How it works

Players use simple components to build multi-level boards and play a variety of unique strategy games.

Start with pads, posts and links to build your three dimensional grid-set. These form your playing arena. Then, use nodes to modify any pad's function. You can teleport, block, and get kinged. Finally, use markers to move around the gridset, capture opponents, and score points.

Gridopolis is fast and easy to learn. Rules are based on classic games like checkers, chess, and tic-tac-toe.

The Basic Parts of Gridopolis

The Structure

The pad, post and link are used to to build the gridset, your modular and three dimensional playing arena.

The Nodes

There are three kinds of nodes, all of which are used to modify the pad's function. Play with the Teleporter, Blocker-Box or Kingerizer.

The Player Marker

Use color-coded markers to move, jump, capture and score points.
