About Territory io

Territory io is a land grab game in the style of the io games everyone loves. You start with a small square of your color in a big field of tiles. When you leave your land you draw a line behind you, and when you get back home that line and every tile it loops around turn your color.

You share the arena with computer players such as Karim, Malak and Youssef, each with a bright color and a personality of their own: the careful one makes small loops, the greedy one wanders far, and the hunter likes to chase lines. If someone touches your line while you're out, you're out. Touch theirs first and they pop, and their land becomes yours.

There are no real players, no chat and no names to type, so it's a calm and safe io game for every age. Pick your color, watch your share of the map climb, and try to own half of it. Your best result is saved on your device.

How to play

  1. Pick your color on the start screen and press Start.
  2. Leave your land and draw a line with the arrow keys, the mouse or your finger.
  3. Loop around and get back to your land to color everything inside your line.
  4. Keep your line away from the computer players, and touch their lines to send them out and win their land.
  5. Grow your land until you own half of the map to win.

Tips to win

  • Start with small loops and head home quickly when someone comes close.
  • Draw along the edge of your land so the way back is always short.
  • A long line from a computer player is a chance: touch it while you're near home and take all their land.

Territory io: questions and answers

Am I playing against real people?

No. Everyone else in the arena is a computer player. There's no chat and no connection to anyone, which keeps it safe for all ages.

Is Territory io free, and does it work on phones?

Yes, it's completely free with no download or sign-up, and it runs on computers, phones and tablets. On a phone, drag your finger the way you want to go.

When am I out?

When a computer player touches your line while you're outside your land, or when you run into your own line. The arena wall is safe: your head slides along it.

How do I win?

Own half of the map to win, then keep going to grow even bigger if you like. Your best share of the map is saved on your device.
