Upland is excited to announce the
next step in its evolutionary journey: the
launch of South Lake Tahoe, our
first-ever city accessible solely by car. This groundbreaking development introduces a
new dimension to the Upland metaverse,
emphasizing the importance of
location-based strategy
and car transportation within our digital
world!
As we gear up for the grand opening of South Lake Tahoe, players who wish to participate are required to send their cars to specific launchpad properties. These sites are essential for the city's initial access, serving as the only parking spots for players' vehicles until they acquire their own property within the city. The designated launchpad properties for South Lake Tahoe are:
These properties will open up to travel in the next 24 hours.
After the opening, players minting properties in Tahoe will gain the
ability to send their vehicles to their own properties.
The grand opening of South Lake Tahoe is scheduled for
Thursday, March 7th at 9am PT, with the
full city available for minting at launch.
This opening will bring with it
~13,000 properties in 19 new neighborhoods!
Approximately 13% of properties will be designated as FSA.
Tahoe marks the
first resort town in Upland, and as such,
players should come with the expectation that property prices will
be on the higher side.

On Thursday, March 14th, at 9 AM PT, we’ll reveal Collections that are a part of this opening. As collections may alter a property's price, make sure to double-check your marketplace properties before the reveal to ensure you don’t sell them below the collection-modified value. It may be safer to temporarily remove them from the marketplace before the information is public and the Collections are revealed.
Collections will be revealed through the following process.
Note: As a reminder, if we see signs that the city release experience is sub-optimal, we will take immediate action and lock any unminted properties. If required, this may be followed by a brief maintenance period.
To celebrate this, we will reserve several waterfront properties for
a special giveaway, rewarding some fortunate players during this
minting event. Players whose minting corresponds with the numerical
values of the letters that spell out "TAHOE" will have the chance to
win one of these exceptional properties. The following mints will
win
T - 20th mint
A - 1st Mint
H - 8th Mint
O - 15th Mint
E - 5th mint
Additionally, the player who mints the highest number of Tahoe
properties within the first two hours of the city's release will be
rewarded with a waterfront property.
As a reminder, city openings offer a
golden opportunity to secure the prestigious
Mint Masters badge. Mint Masters introduces four distinct activities available to
players during the first three hours of every
city opening and expansion. This opens up a
competitive and rewarding
avenue for players, encouraging you to dive in and seize the chance
to earn exclusive badges during these pivotal
first three hours!
To commemorate this momentous occasion, we're delighted to offer a special promotion: a complimentary Tahoe-themed Block Explorer with every purchase of 30k UPX. This exclusive offer is designed to elevate your Upland collection, providing a unique memento of the South Lake Tahoe opening.
