Upland

Upland is your forever city-builder game mapped to the real world. Hundreds of thousands of players buy, develop, and trade properties tied to actual addresses across 50+ cities. They share one never-resetting map, three purpose-built in-game currencies (UPX for trading, Sparklet for building/energy, STEM for Life), and a regulated marketplace where eligible digital assets can be sold for USD. Over $20M in player-to-player trades have moved through the system since 2019. Players compete for the best properties, outsmart the market, and build strategic portfolios while collaborating with neighbors to develop the best neighborhoods to attract digital residents called Uppies, who serve as the living scoreboard of success.
