You can put properties on the market and engage in furious bidding wars with other players, recreating the experience of competing in the ‘thrilling, high-stakes real estate market’ right from your phone. Players can begin small, buying up local corner shops, and quickly amass a vast real estate empire through savvy investing. Using a massive pool of data, including detailed information about more than half a billion real world properties, Landlord Go connects the user to their city in ‘an exciting and innovative new way that no other game can offer’. This could pocket potentially billions in profit, and grow a player’s power and influence as a real estate tycoon. It will help players to hone and enhance their property investing instincts, with those having an inside knowledge or hunch about what the next big real estate market might be able to stake their claim early by buying up buildings, charging rent to visitors, then selling at the top of the market. Reality Games claims that real estate is a contact sport, and Landlord Go aims to mimic that unique and intense environment by using up-to-date building values and setting off fierce battles between players looking to build massive wealth through savvy investing and a ruthless competitive attitude. With over one million players worldwide already, it’s the first real world augmented reality game that uses real buildings, real people, and real prices to turn your city into an action-packed strategy game. Landlord Go, by contrast, is a brand new game that leverages these digital ‘footprints’ in ‘a fun and exciting way’, allowing players to buy, sell and collect rent on some of the world’s most famous buildings and landmarks.
