Introduction

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.

EASY TO START

It’s very easy to start the game – just download the game and register. Every player starts with a base capital of coins which he uses to purchase one street and one initial building of player choosing. Real-time geopositioning and augmented reality gives you the possibility to actually see and show your progress to others.

The building generates collectable Coins which have to be collected within a certain duration, depending on the building, otherwise they will become collectable for the gaming community using the AR-extension of the game
Plus: every other player that walks on the street generates additional income as a bonus
Every street has a certain amount of “building slots” depended on its length and position within the city
Every building can be updated for coins
Updating takes a certain amount of time which can be sped up by using game currency
All players can interact with each other

THE BUILDING CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

Once the construction is complete the building starts to generate income and a new interface becomes accessible

THE SHOP & AUCTION

All items can be purchased for a set price in order to boost player interaction the number of items is limited for each duration.
Items – all items have certain effects on the buildings they are used for.
Items can be activated in the building interface under the point “items” which opens the inventory.

GAME CURRENCIES

There are 3 types currencies in the world of Wordopoly:

Coins – Base currency, collectable within the game and to be used to purchase everything from the shop.

Building resource – Premium currency purchasable either by WPT or real currency.

WPT – ERC20 standard tokens with limited emission, freely convertible either in game or real life currency (outside the game) which will be offered during the ICO. Allows players use advanced game functions.

In-Game Currency shop

Total revenue of game apps in 2016 was $ 33.6 billion of which a majority ($ 23 billion) was
contributed by iOS games.

The most profitable iOS games in the US as of November 2017 were:

• Candy Crush Saga by King Digital Entertainment PLC
• Golf Clash by Playdemic Ltd.
• Pokémon GO by Niantic Inc.
• Madden NFL by Electronic Arts
• Slotomania: Vegas Slots Casino by Playtika
• Clash Royale by Supercell
• Homescapes by Playrix

The most profitable Android games in 2016 were:

• Pokémon GO by Niantic Inc.
• Mobile Strike by Machine Zone Inc.
• Game of War by Machine Zone Inc.
• Candy Crush Saga by King Digital Entertainment PLC
• Clash of Clans by Supercell
All listed games are “free to play”, which means that the profitability of these games does not
depend on the number of downloads but rather on the amount of microtransactions happening
within the game. The “free to play” model has several advantages compared to the classic “pay to play” systems

For all these reasons we’ve decided to make Worldopoly a “free to play” game.
Pokémon GO, released in 2016 set a trend in the “gamification” of AR-technology, grossing over $
800 million and becoming the by far the most successful game to be launched on iOS and Android.
To summarize this analysis one can see, that the most successful games to date are “free to play”,
real time strategy games and games using geopositioning and AR. Worldopoly implements these
technologies and combines them with the security of Blockchain / DAG, creating a compelling gaming experience optimized for the gaming market today

ICO details

In an ICO (Initial Coin Offering), some quantity of tokens, issued by
participating company is preallocated to investors in exchange for
cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin or Ethereum) or traditional currencies
(such as EUR/USD etc.)
These tokens would provide investors access to the features of a particular
project starting at a later date. Also, tokens become functional units of
company’s “own currency” if or when the ICO’s funding goal is met and the
project launches.
In fact, the ICO is a realization of crowdfunding models, since it allows the
future audience of the project to support its development.
Buying of tokens does not usually imply receiving a stake of the company,
therefore token buyers do not automatically have the right to influence on
company management decisions.

Why invest in ICO?

The world of Blockchain / DAG and cryptocurrencies, like the ICO market, is experiencing an
exponential growth. Bloomberg, and other world publications have generally called the 2017 “ICO
and cryptocurrency year”.
Crowdsales gained wide popularity in 2017, both among investors and start-ups, including but, not
directly related to the crypto-currency ecosystem.

Statistics shows that more than 350 token sales were held and about 3 billion investments for the
project development was attracted in 2017.
