Sandburg City Is Here: Excavators, Cranes, and a City of Its Own

The new game in the KidsKlub brings the sandbox to the screen. Kids control big machines and build their own city, either on their own or with friends.

Sandburg City: two figures wearing hard hats in front of a yellow truck

A toy excavator, a few blocks, and a good idea: In the sandbox, these quickly turn into an entire city. Sandburg City brings exactly that feeling to the screen. It was released on October 28, 2026, as the latest game in Ahoiii's KidsKlub. It's available on iOS and Android.

From container ships to helicopters

Children clear construction sites, deliver building materials, and operate excavators, cranes, and trucks. At the harbor, a container ship brings in new raw materials, which a large crane unloads. The more you build, the more buildings become available. Some open up new possibilities: Once the helipad is finished, you can explore the island from the air.

Building Together Instead of Competing Against Each Other

Sandburg City can be played alone or with friends. Using a simple game code, children can invite each other to their cities and continue building together there. While one child prepares the construction site, another delivers the materials. The app intentionally does not include chat or camera features.

No set path, no time pressure

The game world is open-ended. There is no set path and no timer. Children decide for themselves what to build, drive, or explore next. The focus is not on competition, but on building together.

What Children Learn in the Process

Creativity: Children plan for themselves what their city should look like and keep changing it.
Collaboration: In multiplayer mode, they divide up tasks and coordinate with each other.
Fine motor skills: Excavators and cranes require precise control, over uneven terrain and around obstacles. This trains hand-eye coordination and spatial reasoning.
Independence: Children pursue their own projects and stick with them until a construction project is finished.

Already nominated

Even before its release, Sandburg City has received a nomination: The game has been nominated for the 2026 TOMMI Children’s Software Award in the category “Best Family Game: Preschool.” The winners are selected by a children’s jury.
