As Upland continues to evolve, we are committed to introducing new features that enhance the core experience of the game. Our approach is deliberate and progressive, starting with beta testing to fine-tune mechanics before full implementation. Recently, we introduced the Collectors Score, which rewarded Upland’s most dedicated collectors with credit, prestige, and recognition.

Today, we’re thrilled to unveil the Builders Score, a new system designed to highlight and reward the most active and accomplished builders in Upland. This score takes into account all the key elements that make Upland a vibrant, dynamic world, from Map Assets to buildings, and will include both All-Time and Seasonal scores.

The All-Time Builders Score

The All-Time Builders Score is a testament to a player’s total contributions to shaping Upland. This score is a prestige ranking showcasing the most dedicated movers and shakers in the building space.

While the exact algorithm remains proprietary to maintain fairness, the following key factors contribute to a player’s Builders Score (with varying weight):

Ornaments — The total number of ornaments applied to all of your structures.

Map Assets — The total number of Map Assets applied across your properties.

If you manufactured the asset, you can receive credit for up to 25 of your own. If you didn’t manufacture the asset, you’ll earn points for every one owned and placed on a property.

Structures — Points for all structures you own, both started and completed. Completed structures provide significantly more points.

Spark — All Spark acquired, whether won, purchased, or earned, including from treasure hunting.

The All-Time Builders Score does not come with specific rewards, but it serves as a badge of honor, marking players who have made a significant impact on Upland’s built environment.

The Seasonal Builders Score

In addition to the All-Time Score, each season will feature a Seasonal Builders Score, where players can compete for exclusive rewards. The player with the highest score at the end of the season will receive special prizes, including $SPARKLET and Block Explorers.

The Seasonal Score focuses on contributions within a specific city and timeframe. The key elements are:

Ornaments — The total number of in-season ornaments applied to your structures. (For Frost Season, that means Frost ornaments.)

Map Assets — All Map Assets placed in the designated season city. (For Frost Season, that city is Las Vegas.) The same 25-manufacturer limit applies here. You receive points for all non-self-manufactured assets applied.

Structures — Points for every structure started or completed within the season city and timeframe. Completed structures earn higher scores.

Spark — All Spark won, bought, or earned during the season.

Note: This feature is currently in beta, and we will be actively monitoring its performance. Adjustments to scoring may be made as needed to ensure a fair and balanced experience for all players.
