About the Game

We are in Mecca, the holiest Islamic city in Saudi Arabia and prophet Muhammad's birthplace.

Year after year, Mecca receives more than a three million faithful on one of their faith's pillars: the Holy Pilgrimage or Hajj. We are going to access the inside of the Holy Mosque of Mecca right now, the main shrine of Muslim pilgrimage during the Hajj. The imposing Sacred Kaaba is just in front of us. In order to avoid crowds during the massive influx of the faithful in the Holy Mosque, the organizers have devised an innovative system to control the placement and organization of the pilgrims during their prayers to Allah.

The player who successfully introduces more pilgrims in the Holy Place according to this organization system will be the winner.

La Meca es la principal ciudad de la región del Hiyaz, en la actual Arabia Saudita, y una de las más importantes de la península de Arabia. Para los musulmanes, el peregrinaje a La Meca forma parte de uno de los aspectos fundamentales de su fe, los denominados pilares del Islam.

Cada año, cerca de tres millones de peregrinos se dirigen a la Ciudad Santa para realizar el peregrinaje mayor o Hajj durante el mes musulmán de du l-hiyya. Muchos más hacen la peregrinación menor o Umrah, que puede realizarse durante todo el año. Muy pocos no musulmanes han podido ver los ritos y rituales del Hajj, ya que está totalmente prohibida la entrada de no creyentes en La Meca. Con el fin de que no se produzcan aglomeraciones durante el Hajj, en la Mezquita Sagrada han ideado un sistema de colocación y reorganización para controlar a los peregrinos.

El jugador que consiga introducir más peregrinos en el recinto sagrado será el ganador.
