Get ready because we're excited to announce a unique sale called the Golden City Rush! In this sale, players will have the chance to acquire the Technicolor Connector Block Explorer.

Among the San Francisco properties included in the Golden City Rush, there is a 9% chance for players to receive a Collection property, and the mint range of these properties will be between 10,800 UPX to 166,320 UPX.

Important Note: As we test this new mechanic, your insights and critiques are invaluable to us. Please share your perspectives and suggestions with our community managers.

Where did these lost San Francisco properties come from? 

After reviewing some of the original cities, we detected there were real-world addresses that were initially empty and unavailable for minting during the initial city launches. These addresses are referred to as "lost properties." The San Francisco properties within the Golden City Rush fall into the lost properties category. Currently, you won't find them in the Property Search bar, but they will become searchable and visible on the map when the Upland Team reserves the properties for the players. 

Sale Details

During this sale, players will be able to buy the Technicolor Connector Block Explorer, which guarantees the reservation of a lost property in San Francisco for 24 hours. It's important to note that this is not a bundle; players will need to use additional UPX to buy the San Francisco property at its mint price.

Once a player acquires the Technicolor Connector Block Explorer, the Upland Team will send them an email within a few hours. This email will include instructions on how to purchase their reserved San Francisco property, along with the property's address. The reserved properties will become available for minting by the reserved players starting on Friday, November 10th, at 9 AM PT, and this reservation period will last for 24 hours. After this 24-hour window, any properties that remain unminted will open up for the community on a first-come-first-serve basis.
