How it works

A public grid where the highest bidder holds the square. Simple rules, permanent record.

01

Claim

Pick an empty tile and promote your brand.

02

Defend

Your logo stays there until someone pays more.

03

Conquer

Steal competitor territory and grow your empire.

Center zonefrom $100
Inner zonefrom $50

Special tiles

A handful of squares carry a badge and a higher floor. There are no other bonuses attached to them — they are simply rare positions.

♛ Crown Tilefrom $250

The dead center of the board. There is exactly one.

◆ Center Tilefrom $150

Part of the four-tile core around the crown.

✦ Founder Tilefrom $100

Mid-edge anchor tile. Four exist, one per side.

◤ Corner Tilefrom $75

One of the four corners of the battlefield.

Territory

Tiles you own that touch each other horizontally or vertically form a territory. Three connected tiles is a 3-tile territory, six is a 6-tile territory, and nine or more is an Empire. Solid blocks let your logo render across the whole block — every tile inside stays individually clickable, and individually stealable.

Questions

How does a takeover work?
Any owned tile can be taken by paying more than the current owner did. The minimum is the current price plus whichever is larger: $1 or 5%. That floor is calculated on the server, so a modified page cannot underpay.
Do I get my money back if I lose a tile?
No. Every payment is a non-refundable competitive bid for promotional placement. When someone outbids you, your money stays with the platform — the same way a bid on a billboard does not come back when the lease ends.
When do I actually own the tile?
The moment Stripe confirms your payment. Ownership is written by a webhook inside a single database transaction, never by the browser.
What happens when someone takes my tile?
You get an email the moment it happens, with the exact price to take it back. Your tile also stays in the public history of that square forever.
What can I put on a tile?
Your logo, your name, a short tagline and a link to your site. Anything illegal, deceptive, or adult gets removed without a refund.

Tile purchases are promotional placements and competitive bids. Payments are non-refundable. Ownership may be replaced when another user places a qualifying higher bid.
