🔨 House rules. Pick a clown to find its square, then hold Whack on its card — free, once the clown is a day old. One whack every 10 seconds, town-wide.
🎈 A clown that quietly fixed its favicon is freed by the whack, not removed. Red noses honk.

Claim a square
Paste a URL. We grab the favicon. That's the whole form.
For the eviction notice and your deed. Not a login, not a newsletter.
The bill
How this works
The whole rulebook. It's short because the site is simple and petty.
🏡 1 square = $1. Forever.*
Paste your URL and an email, pay a dollar, we grab your favicon, you own internet real estate.
No accounts, no subscriptions. Every square is 1×1 and costs $1, once — no sizes to pick.
Click any empty cell in town to make it yours (the trees stand on open land; the lakes don't count) — or press
Claim a square in the bar and the town walks you to the nearest one. Location is the whole game.
The email is only so we can tell you when the asterisk happens.
👑 The Throne
The 4×4 dead centre of town. $100 to start, exactly one owner, gold tile, crown.
Every visitor sees it first. Click it to claim it, if you're that kind of person.
💀 Eviction wars
Any square can be taken by paying double what its current owner paid — $2 for a
$1 square, then $4, $8, $16 ($1 for squares still at $0 from the free days). They get publicly deposed in the live feed (and an email, if they asked for one). The next evictor pays double your price,
so popular spots get expensive fast. This is a feature, not a bug.
Don't want the square — just want them gone? 🚜 Bulldoze it: same price as an
eviction, no URL, no email, no name. They're evicted, nobody moves in, and the lot goes back on
the market at $1. Yes, they can move right back in — for a dollar. Yes, you can bulldoze them again.
💋 Kiss the icon
Every icon wants its ring kissed. Anyone can kiss anyone's icon — for free, out of
respect (or pity). Kisses are public, counted, and every one grows the tower a storey.
Click a favicon and press 💋. Kiss the ring. The first kiss asks for your email once and
mails you a sign-in link — no password, no account page; it's just so a kiss comes from
someone. The same link makes whacking work and your Visit clicks count.
🗺️ Town grows
The map starts small and unlocks a wider ring every time it's 75% full, up to 1024×1024.
Counting…
🤡 Hall of Clowns
If your site has no favicon, you get a clown emoji until you add one, plus a spot in
the public Hall of Clowns. Fixed it? Click your square and hit "I fixed my favicon".
📜 Deeds & visitors
After buying you get a secret deed link — bookmark it, it's your only proof of ownership,
like real crypto. Every time someone opens your square (a view) or goes to your site (a click)
is counted; $5 (one-time) unlocks daily view & click analytics on your deed page.
