How to Play

This page covers the actual controls and menu flow so players know what to expect before they enter the game screen.

Starting A Run

When the game opens, you first choose a language, then decide whether to enable sound effects, and then pick between the playable tiles on the main menu. From there, you can start Pixel Umrah, start Pixel Hajj, or open the inventory screen.

What The HUD Means

The heads-up display changes from stage to stage. Depending on where you are in the run, it can track prayers, reflection progress, sleep progress, pebbles collected, throws made, Tawaf count, Sa'i count, mistakes, and the run timer.

Menu Structure

The main menu branches into the pilgrimage runs and the inventory area. Inventory is where players change gender, outfit, and skin tone, and those appearance choices are saved locally in the browser for later visits.

Run Results

After a completed run, the game shows a finish overlay with the final time for that run and a prompt to return to the main menu.

Best Way To Learn The Flow

If you want a quick orientation before the full journey, start with the shorter mode first and then move into the longer pilgrimage run after you are comfortable with movement, prompts, and stage-based goals.
