Mini Motorways Players Vote on Next City Map

Players of the beloved traffic management game Mini Motorways just got handed the keys to decide what city they'll build roads in next.

Developer Dinosaur Polo Club launched a voting website where fans can choose between four cities: Vienna, Auckland, Singapore, and Lima. The winner gets turned into an official game map later this year, and it'll be free for everyone playing on iOS, PC, Mac, or Nintendo Switch.

Voting stays open until May 15, and the studio says each person gets one vote. The developers are also watching their social media channels to gauge excitement levels, giving fans even more ways to show support for their favorite city.

While Dinosaur Polo Club promises to "do its best" to honor the results, they note the final release order ultimately rests with the team. It's a transparent approach that keeps the community involved while maintaining creative control.

This isn't the first time players shaped the game's future. The last voting contest brought London to Mini Motorways, giving fans a chance to optimize double-decker bus routes and navigate the city's famous roundabouts.

Why This Inspires

Gaming often feels like a one-way street, with developers deciding everything and players just along for the ride. This voting system flips that dynamic, turning players into creative partners who help shape the game's direction.

Mini Motorways has built its success on simplicity and accessibility. Players arrange roads to keep traffic flowing smoothly in a clean, minimalist world perfect for quick gaming sessions on a phone or longer strategy marathons on a computer.

The developer recently added a creative mode that lets players customize map aesthetics, another nod to player creativity. They also just released a free cooperative game called Read the F*cking Manual (RTFM for short) about working in tech support, showing their commitment to fun, approachable gaming experiences.

Whether Vienna's classical architecture, Auckland's harbor geography, Singapore's dense urban planning, or Lima's coastal layout wins, players will get a new city to master.
