Albori: Puzzle Archaeology

Bring the past back to light.

Albori is a match-3 puzzle adventure set on a real archaeological dig. Below the castle hill of Shkodër, Albania, lies Scodra, the capital of the last Illyrian kings. Match the objects your team digs up, earn stars, and rebuild the city piece by piece: the Cyclopean gate, the market street, the houses, the rock cistern, the river landing and the royal terrace.

A STORY WORTH FINISHING
You are an archaeologist on your first season at Rozafa hill, where your late father dug in 1990 and is still called a coin thief. Lekë, the foreman, has kept a promise since 1976. A charming visitor with a drone and cash wants to film everything. Looters dig at night, a coin vanishes from the finds tray, and under the royal terrace lies a jar that someone hid in 168 BC and never came back for. Twelve chapters, one ending.

PUZZLES THAT DIG DEEPER
- 125 levels
- Silt that creeps across the board, sealed jars that crack open to show what's inside, and hoards of coins that spill out when they burst
- Javelins, fire-pots, sling stones and the king's coin as power-ups
- Bag and label the story's own finds when they reach the sieve

REAL HISTORY, HONESTLY TOLD
Every building you restore opens a history card. Each card says what kind of knowledge it is (evidence, reconstruction, debated or legend) and cites its sources. Where nobody knows, the game says so.

A CITY THAT COMES BACK TO LIFE
Watch neighbours return, smoke rise from ovens, boats launch on the river, and lamps glow at night across the town you rebuilt.

Albori is free to play. Optional in-app purchases are available, and every pack shows exactly what it contains before you buy. No account is needed and the game shows no ads.
