An Online House Flipping Game
Dec 16th, 2009 by admin
Today I was contacted by Shockwave Games, a division of Nickelodeon, who are launching a House Flipping Game called none other than “House Flip.”
Designed the mimic parts of the house flipping experience, the game takes you through the process buying, renovating and selling a house–all with a time limit. Like in real-life, players can browse listings, then purchase and inspect a house to see what must be fixed. Players then choose a section of the house to clean, repair or upgrade, and play mini-games to complete the renovations. Once all the fix-ups are complete, it’s time to make a deal and flip that house!
My take: after my first run at playing the game, i with the time limit wasn’t so….limited. It is fun to decide what areas to upgrade, but when you actually have to do the bulk of the renovating still within 5 mins (pounding on the nails takes so long) then it’s slightly frustrating. Maybe I just have to get better at the game?
Compare your scores with other house flipping enthusiasts to see how your online house flipping skills stack-up. It’s like taking on a flip, but without the risk. Who knows, maybe this will inspire you to actually take on a reno.
