01 / How it began
It started
on a rooftop.
Pieces of Home began on the rooftop of my parents’ home in Morocco. I was collecting and sorting tiles that had fallen from a dome.
That simple act of gathering the pieces and finding order in them became the inspiration for the game.
— Mouhsine Adnani, creator of Pieces of Home
