Dharahara Stack
Read full descriptionHide full description
Rebuild the Dharahara — Kathmandu's famous white tower, also known as Bhimsen Stambha, first completed in 1832 — one swinging floor at a time. A crane swings each stone floor over the tower. Tap to drop it. Land it close to the centre and your tower stands tall; land it badly and it starts to lean. Simple to learn, calm to play, and surprisingly hard to master. BUILD JOURNEY Ten heights from 9 to 63 storeys. Each one has three medals: finish the tower, keep it 85% aligned, and beat the time goal. Earn them on separate attempts; every medal you win stays yours. FREE MODE Keep climbing as high as you can. Perfect drops build a combo and multiply your score. Rise past the rooftops, through the clouds, and toward the stars. TODAY'S NINE A new wind pattern every day. Nine storeys, one shared challenge, your best time on a seven-day calendar. A LIVING KATHMANDU VALLEY Snow peaks of the Himalaya, a city full of rooftops and pagodas, prayer flags in the breeze. The valley moves from morning to golden sunset to a night of glowing windows, following your phone's clock. LEARN THE STORY Every time a tower falls, discover a real fact about the Dharahara — from its 213-step staircase to its rebuilding after the 2015 earthquake. KEEP YOUR TOWERS Save a picture of every completed tower in your personal album, or share it with friends. - No ads, no account, no tracking - Works fully offline - Gentle haptics and a quiet soundscape
