Dive into the World of Real Estate with Metabancho
In an exciting move for gamers and aspiring investors alike,
Metabancho is scheduled for release on April 1, 2025, exclusively on the App Store. Developed by
Bancho Investment Real Estate in collaboration with
Metapenta, a company led by UC Berkeley graduate,
Masayuki Yasuda, this completely free app enters the market as a groundbreaking real estate investment simulation game, the first of its kind in the world.
A New Approach to Financial Literacy
Japan faces a significant gap in financial education, with limited exposure to money and investment principles in schools and day-to-day life.
Metabancho seeks to address this gap with the aim of cultivating a new generation of financially literate individuals through engaging gameplay. The game offers a 'nearly real' environment where players can experience asset formation linked to actual land prices and rental markets in Tokyo's 23 wards. By making learning about property investment fun and interactive,
Metabancho allows players of all ages to acquire valuable knowledge about finance effortlessly.
The Game Mechanics: Striving for 1 Billion Yen
Metabancho lets players embody a character starting at the age of 25 and navigate their way through the complexities of real estate. The goal is clear: amass wealth while competing against others in a highly realistic simulation of life and property investment.
Key Features:
1.
Realistic Economic Simulation: Property prices and rental rates reflect current market data, providing players with an authentic experience of real estate investment.
2.
Strategic Career Development: Players begin their journey by securing employment, where salaries are influenced not just by job performance but by strategic choices regarding location and knowledge-based challenges.
3.
Importance of Housing Choices: Choosing where to live affects both financial outcomes and character well-being, exemplifying the real-life implications of housing decisions.
4.
Authentic Buying and Selling: Players can engage in transactions using in-game currency and various loan options, fostering strategic thinking regarding asset acquisition.
5.
Character Development: As players traverse through Tokyo, they have the opportunity to discover hidden mentors in the game, such as bankers and property managers, who can assist them in managing their investments.
Monthly Rewards and Leaderboards
Beyond just learning, the game incentivizes participation with a monthly leaderboard that showcases players’ total assets, offering prizes such as
Amazon gift cards. The higher the rankings, the more substantial the rewards, further encouraging healthy competition among players. As the game gains popularity, exciting prizes, including luxury cars, could soon be introduced.

In an effort to enhance the game's development and community outreach, the
Metabancho team has launched a crowdfunding initiative aimed at gathering supporters who resonate with their vision. This campaign runs until July 31, 2025, and serves not only to raise funds but to build a network of enthusiasts committed to sharing the fun of property investment with the world.
