For the First Time: Residents & Influence Score in Gamified Earnings

As snow begins to fall and the holiday spirit takes over Upland, Wonderland Season 2025 has officially arrived. This season doesn’t just bring festive vibes, it marks a major evolution in gameplay with the introduction of Residents, Influence Score, and enhanced Gamified Earnings Missions. These aren’t just seasonal decorations, they’re the foundation for a bold direction in Upland.

Introducing Residents & Influence Score to Missions

Wonderland Season 2025 is the first time Residents and Influence Score are being used in missions, and it’s by design. These two mechanics are key parts of Upland’s future, and we’re starting with a simple, introductory use to help everyone get familiar with them.

This season includes two season-long missions that give players an easy first step:

  1. Net at least +1 Increase in Influence Score
  2. Net at least +1 Increase in Residents

A snapshot will be taken at the start of the season on Monday, December 1, and a final snapshot on Thursday, January 15, 2026. If either number has increased by one or more, you’ll complete that mission.

These two missions count toward the 10 total available this season.

We’re keeping things simple on purpose, this is just the beginning. These features will matter more in future seasons, and this gives everyone a chance to get comfortable, test them out, and see how they fit into your playstyle.

Weekly Missions

Along with the two new season long missions, Weekly missions return because earning boosts should be earned, not stumbled into by chance. This format rewards the most active players, those who plan, log in, and put in the effort to complete each mission on time. If you’re committed to chasing the highest yields, you should get them.

Weekly missions make sure that only those truly engaged can reach the top.

  • New Missions Announced each Monday
  • New missions begin every Tuesday at 9 AM PT.
  • The completion deadline is the following Tuesday at 7 AM PT.
  • Only the current week’s two missions can be completed, missed missions cannot be recovered.

A Badge for the Best of the Best

The Completionist Badge, an exclusive reward for players who complete all gamified earnings missions in a season.

This badge is the ultimate mark of dedication and consistency. It’s not just about earnings, it’s a statement. Wear it with pride and show the community that you don’t just play the game, you complete it.

Why Complete Missions?

Completing missions boosts your future property earnings. The more you complete, the more your yield multiplies in the next season:

  • Complete any 5 of the 10 missions to earn a 14.7% yield
  • Complete all 10 missions for the maximum 15.2% yield

Week 1 Missions (Dec 2 — Dec 9)

  1. Retail Rush — Buy 3 items from any Metaventure shop for UPX or USD.
  2. Wonderland Drop-Off — Place 10 Wonderland Ornaments (not your own manufactured) on 10 structures anywhere in Upland.

Note: Only progress made during the mission window (Tuesdays at 9 AM PT to the following Tuesday at 7 AM PT) will count toward completion.

What Are Gamified Earnings?

Gamified Earnings are designed to supercharge your property earnings in Upland. By completing seasonal missions, you can earn increased multipliers that carry over into the next season. The more missions you complete, the bigger your earnings boost for the following season!

How Gamified Earnings Work

The earning increase in Upland is structured around the completion of tasks, providing a clear incentive for player activity and engagement through a series of tiered rewards. Here’s the breakdown:

  • 1 Task Complete (Multiplier 1.2x): Starting off, completing just one task applies a 1.2x multiplier to the earnings, resulting in a 5.88% annual earning.
  • 2 Tasks Complete (Multiplier 1.5x): Advancing to two tasks completed increases the multiplier to 1.5x, which boosts the earnings to 7.35%.
  • 3 Tasks Complete (Multiplier 2x): Completing three tasks further escalates the multiplier to 2x, enhancing the earnings to 9.8%.
  • 4 Tasks Complete (Multiplier 2.5x): Four completed tasks amplify the earnings with a 2.5x multiplier, reaching 12.25%.
  • 5 Tasks Complete (Multiplier 3x): This pivotal level, achieved by completing five tasks, maximizes the regular reward with a 3x multiplier, culminating in a 14.7% earnings.
  • 10 Tasks Complete (Multiplier 3.1x): For the utmost dedication, completing all tasks for the season activates a 3.1x multiplier, the highest tier, elevating the annual earnings to an exceptional 15.2%.

Gamified UPX earning introduces a forward-looking reward system where tasks completed in the current season determine the UPX earnings for the following season.

For example, tasks completed during Wonderland Season will set the earning rate for the upcoming Frost Season. Similarly, activities undertaken in Frost Season will influence earnings for the next season, and so on.

This is Your Season

Wonderland Season 2025 isn’t just another chapter, it’s the start of something new. With the introduction of Residents and Influence Score into missions, we’re laying the groundwork for a future where community building and strategic play matter more than ever.

These first steps are meant to be simple, a way to ease into what’s coming and give all players a chance to engage early.

With weekly missions, the Completionist Badge on the line, and a season designed to reward consistency and planning, now’s the time to show up, get involved, and set the pace for what’s ahead.

Wonderland Season 2025 has begun and it’s your move.
