Real Estate Investing Game:StumbleUpon Find
Posted by Pixelhead
In addition to finding the Stumble Through Button, another feature of the StumbleUpon tool bar that my son and I have been using, is the feature that allows surfing by selecting a channel. The channel that we have been using is the online games channel which allows us to stumble some really cool online game sites.
For example, yesterday I came across Old Poppa Crappaud’s Mansion Impossible game, which is a real estate investing game where the objective of the game is in the shortest amount of time, to buy the million dollar mansion. This is done by buying and selling smaller pieces of real estate, which then enables you to increase your net worth so that you eventually will be able to afford the grand prize, the big mansion.

Real Estate Investing Game Details
Not including the big mansion, there are three different types of houses… the cheap, middle and high. The profits from each is a direct ratio of so the cheap houses will result in a little profit. But you start out with 100K, which is enough to buy one little house. You need to make a quick buy, and then sell and make enough profit to be able to buy two of the little properties, and then get enough profit so that you can buy the next level of real estate investment, and so on until you can afford to buy the big mansion. When you click on a house and you don’t have enough money, a balloon comes up saying “Too Much”. Within the levels of investment properties, I also noticed there are some that will start out at higher prices or lower prices. The lower priced properties of the next investment level are the ones to keep an eye out for, as these will allow you to move up to the next investment level that much quicker. Once you go up into the next level, don’t be tempted to go down into the lower levels for a deal, as these deals in the lower levels will waste your time, and prolong the amount of time until you can buy the big mansion.
Why I love this game
- It introduces the concept of investing in real estate as a fun game.
- It requires concentration.
- Allows you to improve your time based score.
- All you have to do is click the mouse.
To put it simply, it is a fun basic real estate investing game. Check it out and see if you can beat my scores. Let me know how you do.
Oh, and if you don’t have the Stumbleupon tool bar installed, I strongly suggest you download, install, and start Stumbling. Click on the badge to the left to add me to your StumbleUpon network, I can still add a few friends, as I have not reached the 200 friend limit.

Stumble Upon is fantastic…! I never thought a service to show me [semi] random pages would be interesting in the least, but they do a great job of it.
Now, real estate isn’t my thing, so I doubt I’ll be able to best your score … but this is a very interesting game. I really do enjoy watching the way such an old, maybe even ancient, industry is changing because of the internet. If your game catches on, and leads to more educated consumers, that would be a great thing for everybody ( except real estate agents ).
