What Makes Building the China Wall Stand Out
Embark on an epic journey across the Chinese Empire and take charge of building the greatest structure known to mankind – The Great Wall of China – in this addictive time management game.
The Chinese Empire is in grave danger as the Nomads from the North threaten the wealth and prosperity of its lands. Kong Baotu, a smart and resourceful man, accepts the challenge to achieve the impossible. He commits himself to building the Great Wall that will protect China from the warlike barbarians. In return, he asks for permission to marry the Emperor’s beautiful daughter, Fan Tanrui. Join Kong in his epic adventure! Help him save the Empire and marry Fan. Your journey will take you to the farthest reaches of China, through the emerald-green hills and treacherous rocky cliffs. In more than 40 levels, you will conquer the snowy mountain-peaks and cross the withering deserts. You will gather food and lumber, mine stone and iron, survive hurricanes and thunderstorms, all for the noble goal of completing the greatest building in the history of mankind – The Great Wall of China.

Community Insight:
We are so addicted to this game. So fun and relaxing too. Wish we managed our time so well in real life haha.
Great game, but Great Wall 2 wont work anymore. Please fix.
Thank you for keeping this game current. Such a great time management game and we love you can play through without having to buy energy, plus-ups, or other $$$-grabbing requirements in order to play.
Up to level 8 is free. Then you have to download another game to play level 9 for free. We will be buying the game. We mostly play the timed version. You collect the resources (wood, stone, berries) to build the wall. And you have to collect the masks or statues too.
Love this time management game. Its very fun and addictive and doesnt break the bank or have ads to deal with. Suggestions for developers: Allow time to read the pre-game level summary, get rid of the dumb dragon all together, make more levels (many many more!!!!) on this game Wall 1 (wall 2 game is terrible to playdifficult to see anything at all!! No fun.), require actually touching the START button at the start of a game level (when we look around before we press start, the game starts without pressing the START button), and make the relaxed version pass or fail and get rid of the stars because watching the timer run is not what we consider relaxed at all!!! Obviously, a 2 player option (simultaneously) would be awesome.
The only issue we have is when you get to the next level the description is so fast Im not always sure what to do. We dont even know what the warehouse does? Is it important? We even purchased full game thru Apple then repurchased somewhere else thinking it would be better. Nope, we guess programmers enjoy designing better games. All In all its good.
Really fun but have to keep moving the screen around to see the characters and activities. The icons of farmed resources are so large that they cover up important areas. We have other games from this developer without these issues, so this is disappointing.
Please update . We cant play it anymore since we updated to iOS 11.
Really good game. Very addictive.
Really fun game, easy to learn, hard to master! Very relaxing to play.
This is a super fun game. We bought 2 extender packs to get a few more levels and it’s worth it. Have completed and restarted the game a few times. Would love a new version with more difficulty.
Lots of fun! Worth the purchase.
Love it. Fun. We only wish there were more levels.
This may be a game that we will actually pay money to get! It’s cool, challenging and make you think strategically to beat each stage. LOVE IT.
This games fun and very interactive.
We enjoy this game. We like the levels and that it is possible to get 3 stars on any level.
We have been so addicted to this game. We bought the full version and beat it on relaxed and story mode. We ended up upgrading our phone, and we played it all over again. We wish there were more levels or another game similar.
Just started playing. We’ll leave more input later.
We don’t know why it’s so satisfying but we’ve played this game over and over. Make another game like this one please :).
What a neat game. Would be even neater of it was free. 5 stars anyway :).
This game is like nothing we’ve seen before. It’s fresh, interesting and just amazing. Good job.
We love these types of games and definitely when it has a grate story to go with it like this one.
We think it’s kind of fun building the Great Wall of China because you can’t know what’s going on and it’s fine we think some other people like to play this game you figure out how to get you have to have Stoneleigh Hotel would you have to have food especially have to hire some guys to come three guys come over and help you.
Super fun and addicting. The only improvement we can think of is queuing up actions for the workers so you don’t have to wait for them to return to camp.
It took us awhile to get 3 stars on every level but we got it finally! And we keep replaying it over and over. We wish there were more levels though! Fantastic game.
We’re obsessed with this game. We bought the full version and we’ve played through it at least ten times. So addicting. They need to make another one just like it.
We really love this game! Its one u wanna play even after youve beat it several times!! It’s our favorite of all the games we have.
Building is fun and who doesn’t like dragons.
Love this game it is well wroth the $2.99 we paid keep up the good work make more games like this.
Great game. Excellent graphics. We’re totally enjoying this game. No lag at all on our iphone 4S.
What a great awesome addicting game. We would recommend it to anyone who likes a challenge.
Great fun game just wish you did not have to purchase to continue. $2.99 seems a little much.
This game is awesome! Like monument builders games. Very challenging and runs smoothly!! Thanks for creating it.
Super fun and hasn’t crashed once.
This game is quite fun and challenging. We downloaded to get some extra currency in another game but now find ourselves addicted. The only complaint is the low number of levels available for free.
But don’t want to keep downloading crappy other apps and want to earn free levels watching ads.
We like this game but we chose relaxed mode and they still time us.
Good game. Relieved to have the choice of being timed ; ).
Great game! Although we just start playing. But should provide free full version.
We like the game but after a few days now is doesn’t want to open n we paid for the full version.
So you may not get 3 stars on all the levels without spending some money there is the ability to play for free for a very limited time. In the end you have to pay to play. We like the game but wish the screen was a bit easier to navigate. You can zoom out to see everything but it can make selecting your next task a bit hard since the options are smaller.
Developer no longer supports. Do not waste money like we did.
We got a new phone and recover the purchased game on it but we have to start all over at the beginning so we no longer play this game or buy any other games from nordcurrent again.
It isn’t free after a few levels you’ll have to buy the full version.
We just got this so we hope it not a rip of Game.
We’ve really enjoyed this game. Just keep adding updates and new levels.
This game is awesome because it is a challenge but when you get to hard levels it is annoying when you can’t get it right.
Okay we guess it’s ok. We’re a bit disappointed.
Really Great bathroom game! Like Gameboy Tetris.
