Questions
The fine print, in plain English
Can I buy more than one square?
Yes. Grab a 2×2, 3×3 or 5×5 plot in one go, or buy as many single squares as you like.
Can I give a square as a present?
Yes. Tick "It's a gift" at checkout, add their name, and you'll get a gift card to send them. Good stocking filler.
Do I actually own the land?
No, sorry. You own the square on this map, plus bragging rights. The real land stays where it is.
Can I change my message later?
Email us with your square reference and we'll sort it out.
What messages aren't allowed?
Anything offensive, hateful, illegal or someone else's private info. Those get taken down without a refund.
How is the winner picked?
Once every square sells, the messages are judged on creativity. It's not a raffle or random draw. See the rules.
