The game offers a unique concept of buying real-world properties based on geolocation, making it engaging and relatable.
Players enjoy the competitive aspect of bidding for properties and the ability to interact with friends and other players.
The game is easy to pick up and play, allowing for casual gameplay without requiring constant attention.

Progression can be slow, especially for new players, as it often requires in-game currency (coins) to purchase properties and upgrades.
There are frequent bugs and glitches, such as issues with GPS detection and properties disappearing from the buy list.
The game has become increasingly pay-to-win, with many essential features and properties locked behind a paywall, discouraging free-to-play users.

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players noting that while it offers options to earn in-game currency through ads and leveling up, the slow progression without in-app purchases can be frustrating. Some users appreciate the lack of intrusive ads and the ability to choose when to watch them for rewards, but others criticize the high costs of in-game purchases and the limited amount of currency earned through ads, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. Overall, while the game is not overly reliant on ads, the necessity of spending real money for significant progress has left some players feeling dissatisfied.
- “There are microtransactions, but they are fairly priced and there's always a sale.”
- “The in-game purchases are very affordable compared with other games, and you always have the option to not buy - even then, you can evolve by watching adverts (you're not invaded with adverts, you see them only by request, which is a big win for this game!).”
- “I've noticed that there's no ads until you specifically want to gain something like extra coins, which is always good.”
- “The pay-to-win vibes are too strong, and the ads are overwhelming.”
- “The second currency of the game (coins) is the only problem weighing down this game in my opinion, as you can only purchase them using real money or by watching ads that grant very few, and you can only watch a limited number of ads per day.”
- “Pay-to-win game; properties that are worth buying cost too many coins, and regardless of watching ads for a whole year, it still wouldn't be enough to buy 100% of a city.”

Players appreciate the intuitive controls and the unique GPS-based elements, although some note that the gameplay can feel slow and repetitive at times, particularly in the early stages.

- “The gameplay itself is very interesting.”
- “Gameplay is slow if you focus on the expensive properties.”
- “There's not much you can do in the game other than buying virtual properties and waiting for rent money, so you could buy more virtual properties and maybe enter the marketplace scene once in a while; it's repetitive gameplay but that's the core of the game.”
- “The experience was very satisfying (no regrets), but now I find myself somewhat bored with the game mechanics because of the slowness of the progress.”

Players appreciate the game's realistic portrayal of the real estate economy and find satisfaction in collecting properties and completing missions. However, many express a desire for a more engaging story mode, additional quests, and in-game tutorials to enhance the experience. Overall, while the game is challenging and educational, it could benefit from more narrative depth and multiplayer features.
- “Collecting different categories of properties is very satisfying, and completing missions always feels rewarding.”
- “Great game teaches you a lot on how to invest in property, lots of detail in this game, and it's very realistic like it used real companies and stuff. I wish they had more like a story mode and a multiplayer so we can trade with other people and stuff, but it wouldn't hurt if they updated the game to get rid of the bugs. Overall, it's free and very challenging and interesting.”
- “Game was running well until I got to a point in the quests where I'm told to click on the 'buy properties' button.”
- “I suggest you have in-game lessons on how the real estate economy works (valuations, cash flows, etc.) and some side quests to spice up the game.”
- “They could also perhaps add more quests as currently, I just log in once a day and spend the earnings.”
humor

Players find the humor in the game's unique premise of buying and managing properties, often leading to amusing competitive scenarios with friends. The absurdity of in-game economics, such as paying a disproportionate amount for properties, adds to the comedic experience, making it both entertaining and educational. Overall, the game successfully blends humor with property management, keeping players engaged and amused.
- “I think it's a good game because it won't waste your time while still being funny.”
- “I'm currently having a fight with my friend over who's going to get the most property, and it's just hilarious.”

grinding
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and slow, often requiring significant patience to progress. While premium currency can be earned for free, the increasing costs for minimal gains contribute to a sense of grindiness, making the process of earning in-game money feel laborious and frustrating.
- “The premium currency is obtainable as free-to-play, but it is starting to become grindy as costs inevitably increase for the same 1% increases.”
- “It is a very tedious process to earn money, because you have to wait a lot, and it is usually spent very quickly on new properties.”
- “I think the game is great; however, it can be tedious or slow at times, but with patience, it can be quite good fun.”
