    Singapore — December 2025

    First Southeast Asian city. Wonderland Season missions required Singapore minting.

    Detail Value
    Opening DateDecember 2025
    Properties~12,000
    FSA Properties0% (no free-to-play properties)

    Deluxe Bundle$100 (300 qty)
    Block Explorers$20 (300 qty)
    Notes0% FSA was controversial — no free entry point for new players
    Real Talk

    Singapore launched with 0% FSA (Free-to-Start Area) properties — meaning there was no free entry point. Every property required UPX or USD. Combined with Wonderland missions that required minting in Singapore, this created a pay-to-participate situation for the season’s yield system.

    Seattle, Washington — February 2026

    Vancouver, Canada — February 2026

    The first simultaneous dual-city, dual-country opening in Upland history.

    City Evolutions (Existing City Expansions)

    City Evolutions unlock new properties in already-opened cities. They follow a consistent format: Standard Bundle (15K UPX) and Deluxe Bundle ($20 + exclusive modular structure).

    18DallasMar 2026Main Street Modular: Fashion Boutique
    19Queens #2Mar 2026East Coast Modular: Barbershop

    Positive finding from the audit: City Evolutions are one of the things Upland does well. They’re a sustainable approach to growth — small, consistent expansions rather than massive launches. They keep existing cities active and give players reasons to revisit cities they already own property in.

    Modular Structure Lines

    Two regional modular apartment lines have emerged through City Evolutions:

    Main Street Modular (North America):

    • Pizzeria Edition (Stockton)
    • Laundromat Edition (Las Vegas)
    • Shoe Store Edition (Los Angeles)
    • Fashion Boutique Edition (Dallas)

    East Coast Modular (East Coast cities):

    • Bakery Edition (Nashville)
    • Intimate Apparel Boutique (Arlington)
    • Barbershop Edition (Queens)

    All modular structures are stackable and can be combined into larger multi-story builds. They’re region-locked to their respective areas.

    FSA Inconsistency

    Free-to-Start Area (FSA) percentages vary across city openings with no disclosed framework:

    City FSA %
    Singapore0%
    Vancouver10%
    Seattle15%

    This affects accessibility for new and free-to-play players. A city with 0% FSA means every property costs UPX or USD — no free entry.

    Strategy for City Openings

    If you want to maximize value:

    • Register early for every bundle tier
    • Collector’s Passes ($5) are the lowest-risk entry with collection property chances
    • Deluxe Bundles get you exclusive structures unavailable elsewhere
    • Terminals at $1,536 are only worth it if you believe travel fees will generate long-term ROI

    If you’re budget-conscious:

    • UPX bundles (15K–85K) give you property exposure without USD spend
    • Wait for the public mint after pre-sale — prices may be lower
    • Skip Block Explorers ($20) unless you’re chasing Collector Score

    Watch for mission requirements:

    • New city openings frequently coincide with Gamified Earnings missions requiring activity in that city
    • If you plan to maintain your yield, budget for minting in new cities during their launch season
