What is ClaimLand? A GPS game in your browser, no download
ClaimLand is a free GPS game that runs in your browser. Just a game: play money only – no real money, no payouts, no crypto. The entire land surface of the planet is divided into a grid of plots roughly 25 by 30 metres each — there are none in the open sea. You play where you physically are — the map is your real neighbourhood, and land only becomes yours if you walk there. From level 4 you can reach a little further, into your outskirts, at a higher price.
There is nothing to install and no app store involved: open the page, allow location access, play. No download, and you do not need an account to try it.
How it works, in three steps
1. Visit
Every plot has to be visited once before you may buy it. Visiting costs 1 gold and works within range of where you actually are — from level 4 also in your outskirts, at a higher price (see below). Visited plots turn yellow on the map.
2. Buy
An untouched plot costs 10 gold. Every purchase raises its price by another 10 gold — permanently, no matter who buys. You can take plots from other players at any time: the previous owner loses the land and receives nothing for it — only the price goes up, for whoever buys next. Popular spots become genuinely expensive over time.
Before each purchase a contract opens, which you sign by pressing and holding a stamp for a moment. After that the plot is yours and glows green.
3. Earn gold
Your plots pay out gold every minute, even while you stand still. The rate is tiered: your first ten plots earn half a gold each (the very first one counts double), and the rate then drops step by step to 0.001 gold for everything beyond ten thousand. From a hundred thousand plots on it flattens by another factor of ten: up there, ten thousand more plots add one gold between them. Owning a lot still pays — each new plot just adds less than the one before. And yes, there is a wealth tax: from a million gold in your account, passive income only counts at one fifth.
Your plots earn at the full rate for 30 minutes after each visit or purchase, even if you close the app afterwards. After that, time counts at only 10 per cent, for at most six hours. ClaimLand rewards playing along without punishing you for putting the phone down.
Levels and range
How far you can reach from your own position depends on your level. You never level up automatically: you need the progress and the gold, and you unlock each level deliberately.
- Level 1 – the start, 8 plots within range.
- Level 2 – 5 plots visited, free, 200 gold reward. The daily bonus begins.
- Level 3 – 9 plots visited, free, 300 gold reward. Range grows to 20 plots, and you can see which countries you own land in.
- Level 4 – 15 plots visited, free, 500 gold reward. You get your outskirts (see below).
- Level 5 – 21 plots visited, 100 gold. Range grows to 24 plots, and you can decorate plots.
- Level 6 – 30 plots visited, 200 gold. Your first building (a tent) and diamonds – you get one right away. Every building you own pays you rent in diamonds every day – from one for a tent to five for a castle. More diamonds come on every seventh day of your bonus streak, and once a day you can find one on the map.
It continues from there up to level 35. Visits keep counting all the way up: the bar rises from 40 to 23,500 plots visited, and the gold cost from 250 to 1,015,000; from level 20 on each level also costs diamonds, quite a few near the top. Almost every level unlocks something: the hut (8), the house (11), titles (12), the crest (13), a second building (14), the villa (16), a third building (18), the castle (22), the golden name (25) and finally up to ten buildings (30). Range keeps growing in small steps, ending at 120 plots: on every second level at first, later on every third or fourth — even at level 34 you still walk.
Above level 35 there are five more steps up to level 40. They are meant for the most persistent players: they bring neither more range nor anything new, but ask for between 450,000 and just over 9 million plots visited and up to 37 million gold.
The outskirts
From level 4 on, a second, dashed ring with twice the radius surrounds your range – 48 extra plots at level 4, as many as 320 at level 35. There you can play without going there, it just costs more: a visit costs 50 gold, a purchase the usual price plus 20 minutes of your income, at most ten times a day. You cannot build or tear down buildings there – for that you have to go.
If you lose land again you keep your level — there is no way back down.
Old settlements
About five per cent of the world's surface is settled from the very start. These plots belong to nobody, but they show up red and cost 20 gold instead of 10 the first time they are bought. They are scattered across the map in irregular patches, so that even an empty area does not look empty.
Your travel diary
You don't have to buy anything to have fun. Every plot you visit stays yellow on your map, so each walk and each trip adds to your own trail across the world. From level 3, every country you have been to gets a stamp in your passport, from your second country on you get a postcard of your route to share, and a leaderboard of its own shows who has been to the most countries.
Playing against others
Four leaderboards track who owns the most plots, who has visited the most, who has the biggest net worth in plots and buildings and who has explored the most countries. A counter shows how many players are online right now, and a global chat lets you coordinate — or announce a takeover. If you want to show what is yours, you can decorate individual plots: from level 5 with your own name on the map, from level 13 also with a crest you design yourself — per plot, for gold or diamonds, at most twenty at a time, from level 28 as many as you like.
Frequently asked questions
Does ClaimLand cost anything?
No. The game is free, and real money buys no advantage in the game. Gold comes from playing, and only from playing.
Is ClaimLand an NFT or crypto game?
No. Plots are entries in our database, nothing more — there is no blockchain, no wallet and nothing that could be sold outside the game. Gold and diamonds are play money only.
Do I need an account?
Not to try it — you start as a guest straight away. Guests can own up to 20 plots. If you want more, create an account; everything you have achieved so far carries over.
What age is ClaimLand for?
Google Play rates ClaimLand PEGI 3 in Europe and “Everyone” in the US. It is still meant for players aged 16 and over – if you are younger, please only play with a parent's permission. Showing your own name on your plots is only possible with an account and after confirming that you are 16 or older.
What happens to my location?
Your location is used to check which plots are within range. No movement history is stored, and other players cannot see where you are — only which plots you own. The details are in the privacy policy.
Does it work on a computer?
Yes, but ClaimLand is built for phones: without accurate GPS your range stays vague, and walking around is hard at a desk. On Android, ClaimLand is also available as an app on Google Play – the same game you play here in the browser.
Is there a community?
Yes, on our Discord server: news, tips and help from other players. You don't need Discord to play.
Can I keep a plot forever?
No — every plot can be bought away, including yours. In exchange it gets more expensive with each change of owner, so an established territory does defend itself.
I own land that shows up in the game. Can I change that?
Yes. The grid is laid over the earth's surface by calculation alone and knows nothing about real property boundaries. If you own a piece of land and do not want your area to appear in the game, just send us an informal message — the address is in the legal notice. We will remove it.
