What is Worldopoly?
Worldopoly is a strategy game where you build your world, create your empire and then look after it. Build, buy and manage your own property within familiar locations in your favourite countries worldwide. Develop and implement your own business strategies, join forces using in-game clans and win a challenging competition.
We are now living in a world with virtual reality and now is the time to bridge the gap using sharp minds and making the right purchases to get ahead of the crowd.
Interestingly, players can earn real cryptocurrency as a reward for playing. So, call your friends and create a clan together. Improve your business skills with Worldopoly and who knows, you might turn into a virtual Real-estate magnate.
Worldopoly is a real-time multi-player strategy game that implements Blockchain / DAG and
augmented reality into a world building simulation. It provides an economic incentive as well
compelling gameplay through the implementation of its own cryptocurrency WPT. Below are the 3
outstanding characteristics that makes Worldopoly unique in mobile gaming.
Real time – real world
• The player can buy real streets in real cities (underlying
technology: Google Maps/openstreetmaps).
RTS + AR + Blockchain / DAG = endless opportunities
• Worldopoly is the first mobile game that implements
Blockchain / DAG technology in compelling gameplay,
therefore, creating an insightful understanding of
Blockchain / DAG.
• Augmented reality makes it possible to actually “see”
one’s in-game progress.
• With the introduction of the WPT there is real money to
be made playing the game.
Risk-free introduction to cryptocurrencies.
• With the possibility to trade every in-game item for WPT
the player can earn cryptocurrency without investing
real money. This is a great way to introduce players to
the world of cryptocurrencies without the financial risk.
Worldopoly: playable innovation
Combining AR, Blockchain / DAG and Geopositioning Worldopoly provides a unique gameplay
experience that enhances mobile gaming from its current limitations. While other games focus on
either AR or world building, Blockchain / DAG or gameplay. Worldopoly purposefully integrates all
technologies into one. Every implemented feature has its unique purpose. With AR you experience
the game in real life, Blockchain / DAG provides an advanced level of security and Geopositioning
brings the cities of the world onto your device.
Why are mobile games interesting on the blockchain?
Although Blockchain as a concept is decades old, the technology and its possibilities are only being utilized in the past couple of years. With the recent popularity of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, more people are now learning about the advantages of the Blockchain technology.
Futhermore, the gaming industry still lacks behind others in the implementation of Blockchain, even though, it has undeniable advantages, such as:
In a competitive environment such as the mobile gaming industry, standing out is key to success.
The large companies have the advantage as they can develop multiple games, as well as, promoting them on a larger scale, this raises their chances of success. Whereas, smaller development studios lack the manpower and funds to compete in this regard.
However Worldopoly has a unique advantage due to the following:
These factors give Worldopoly a competitive edge and places it strongly as a frontrunner in multiple game categories in the iOS and Android Stores. As well as generating its own player base through the crowd sale of the ICO.

Smart-contracts
The use of smart contracts in the mobile gaming and application industry allows developers to create pleasant conditions for end users. Especially the transfer of in-game objects between players profits greatly from Blockchain technology.
Improving communication for better support
A major problem in the gaming industry is the lack of an easy to access platform for player-developear interaction. Although many studios provide email addresses and chatrooms as feedback channels, most still rely on the rating systems in the App-Stores. Blockchain provides a unified and specialized platform for direct communication between players and developers. Such a platform will benefit both the developers and players alike, as a good interaction is pivotal to ongoing support improvements and further game developments.
Out of all many Blockchain solutions available, we chose Ethereum as our base platform because of its customization possibilities and the constant improvements of the computing platform itself.
Nevertheless there are some disadvantages to be noted when implementing Blockchain technology, such as:
Network functioning maintaining
Conducting transactions on the network, performing other operations with Blockchain requires network maintaining in a functioning state.
Limited bandwidth
As with other Ethereum-based projects, there are two main problems that can affect Worldopoly; transaction speeds and commission payments.
Transaction speeds decrease the more the application is used, in our case this may have a negative effect on the gaming experience. To counteract this, it was decided to create a hybrid service that will allow two types of transactions: on-chain and off-chain. With this, the game performance will be preserved and gamers will not have any problems with the WPTs.
Also, each transaction on the Ethereum platform needs commission payments. As Worldopoly relies on player interaction with mostly small transactions, commission payments can be a problem, especially when the player base increases. The two types approach solves this with a centralized transaction register for off-chain operations, only on –chain, WPT transactions will use the Ethereum platform. Most smaller transactions will take place off-chain and Will therefore be commission free. Only larger transactions e.g. auction of a whole developed street will use WPT and pay commission.
The semi-decentralized solution will, in time, be replaced by a decentralized model as soon as a solution to the stated problems is found.
Irreversibility problems
An integral part of Blockchain is the irreversibility of transactions. While providing an increase in security it is unforgiving when it comes to mistakes. For example, should player A make a mistake in the wallet address of player B while conducting a transaction, the funds will be lost irreversibly. Worldopoly uses different safety measures to prevent such scenarios and will expand them based on player feedback.Gaming market analysis
The largest and most profitable game companies are concentrated in the US, Japan, China, France, the UK and Finland. With the Chinese company Tencent taking the lead in downloads on iOS (as of march 2017), followed by Ubisoft with their Ballz game app released by Ketchapp Studios.
