These unique items can only be obtained through this activity, so don't miss out! Ensure you participate in each part of the Golden City Rush to secure these exclusive rewards! As we get closer to the Golden City Rush: Part 3, we will reveal the design of the Map Asset Trophy, so stay tuned.
Note: Each version of the Golden City Rush Block Explorer will become more limited and challenging to obtain as total mint numbers will decrease in each subsequent part.
Golden City Rush: Part 2 Details
In Golden City Rush: Part 2, players have the opportunity to purchase and acquire the Frisco Flyer Block Explorer. Similar to the first Golden City Rush, purchasing this Block Explorer guarantees the player a San Francisco property at its mint price but this reservation period will last for 72 hours. Among the properties featured in Golden City Rush: Part 2, there's a 14% chance for players to receive a Collection Property. It’s important to note that this is not a bundle; players will need to use additional UPX to purchase the San Francisco property at its mint price.
Once a player acquires the Frisco Flyer Block Explorer, the Upland Team will send them an email within a few hours. This email will include instructions on how to purchase their reserved San Francisco property, along with the property's address. The reserved properties will become available for minting by the reserved players starting on Friday, November 16th, at 9 AM PT, and this reservation period will last for 72 hours. After this 72-hour window, any properties that remain unminted will open up for the community on a first-come-first-serve basis.

What is a Block Explorer Series?
For those who don’t know, a Block Explorer Series is a collection of specific Block Explorers that share a common origin, such as from the same sale, bundle, challenge, or other in-game events. To successfully complete a Block Explorer Series, you need to possess all the Block Explorers that belong to that particular Series.
Where did these lost San Francisco properties come from?
After reviewing some of the original cities, we detected there were real-world addresses that were initially empty and unavailable for minting during the initial city launches. These addresses are referred to as "lost properties." The San Francisco properties within the Golden City Rush fall into the lost properties category. Currently, you won't find them in the Property Search bar, but they will become searchable and visible on the map when the Upland Team reserves the properties for the players.
Attention Uplanders! Seize the opportunity to acquire San Francisco properties at a fantastic price and start working towards completing the Golden City Rush Block Explorer Series to earn valuable Badges and Wearables!
