After making real estate investment more accessible with the help of NFTs, the French platform Wincity is now tackling blockchain gaming. Find out how this new “Play to Earn” combines video games and real estate
Wincity, the platform that links real estate investment to NFTs
Since its first collection of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) launched in early 2022, the Wincity platform continues its development in the blockchain universe.
The 1,111 “Paris Grande Chaumière” NFTs divided into 4 levels of rarity have allowed users to get their first foot in the door of real estate investment by receiving a share of the rent every 11th of the month, with an estimated annual return of 8%.
The platform’s initial aim is to offer users the opportunity to buy NFTs whose value is attached to a share of a property, in order to make investment in this sector more liquid and accessible.
While a new off-series collection called “History” already provided governance rights on decisions made for the development of the platform, invitations to private events and whitelisting on upcoming real estate mints, Wincity is about to offer a new feature to holders of tokens from this collection: blockchain gaming.
A “Play to Earn” game featuring French monuments
Focusing on France’s tourist heritage, the History collection allows people who own one of the 3,333 NFTs to join Wincity’s video game adventure.
The objective is simple and will bring back memories for those nostalgic for Monopoly evenings, as you will have to attract more and more visitors to accumulate the most points possible.
The buildings built by the players will allow them to collect “win.coin”, an in-game currency, in order to improve their buildings and increase their earnings.
Based on week-long games, the objective for users is to get as many points as possible in order to top the weekly leaderboard and receive better rewards. Don’t worry about consistency, just log in from time to time to enjoy the Wincity game to the fullest

How the game works and its associated rewards
The link between the real and virtual worlds is important to Wincity. That’s why its game is no exception to the rule.
The number of points earned by players will depend on the number of visitors to the monuments in the game. To do this, Wincity uses data from telecommunications companies to find out the actual number of visits. In addition, different bonuses and malus will accompany these visitors according to their type, ranging from “businessman”, “tourist” and others.
Note also that, for the sake of balance, monuments that are more difficult to access (such as the Pont du Gard for example) will also take into account the visits of the commune.
Overview of NFT Eiffel Tower and visits received
To access the game, the only condition is to own an NFT from the History collection, which can be obtained randomly via the purchase of a “chest” worth 99 euros by credit card or in ETH, or can be retrieved free of charge for users who have already participated in another Wincity collection. In addition, the level of rarity of an NFT will impact its performance in-game.
But if you are wondering where the main interest of this game lies, the answer is in the rewards. The weekly ranking of visits allows you to get a higher ETH reward depending on your rank. In addition, there are daily quests that reward active players for performing various activities in the game.
To celebrate the launch of the new game, users who complete daily tasks in the first game will have a chance to receive a History card as a reward.
Wincity’s P2E game will be released on October 8th
After linking non-fungible tokens to real estate, Wincity is adding gamification to its ecosystem.
Its “Play to Earn” game provides financial rewards for the most active players, and adds a gamified perspective to the world of traditional real estate.
The Wincity community is looking forward to the release of this game on Saturday, October 8th at 5pm.
Note that new NFTs backed by real estate will be available for sale at the end of October. This will be the perfect opportunity to fully join the Wincity ecosystem
