The Queen's Gambit Chess: Alma's House Environment Deep Dive

We wanted to recreate that iconic moment of a young Beth entering her new home for the first time.

Our 2D board in this environment takes place in a Chess magazine, foreshadowing the introduction of Benny.

The pieces are inspired by Chess illustrations.

We even made the table in the backroom, though you don't play here like in the show.

A game of chess isn't complete without some Ham and Cheese sandwiches.
Alma’s living room is a pivotal interior in the show. It plays a huge role in shaping Beth on her journey to the very top of international chess.
With its unmistakably mid-century decor, we consider it one of the most iconic and instantly recognisable sets in the series.
Recreating it faithfully for mobile was absolutely paramount to our Rockwater art team.
