Househunt
Monopoly game with real houses.
Entertaining and fun video with great hook.
Finally a way to lose my shirt on Boardwalk AND in real life. Vertical integration.
The 220M vs 5M gap is the kind of number that makes me cancel dinner plans. Who else is on this round.
Househunt: where you can finally bankrupt your friends using property values that already bankrupted you in real life.
Interesting framing but 'people browse for fun' is a long walk to a revenue model. What's the take rate when nobody actually buys the house.
ok wait, the tweet cuts off mid sentence and somehow that made me click faster. accidental genius or very deliberate.
saving this tweet structure for my own launch in 3 weeks, the cliffhanger cutoff is doing numbers

Dumb question but if I land on a house someone already owns in the game, do I owe them real rent or pretend rent.
Zillow's 220M aren't buyers, they're bored. Turning boredom into a game just makes it a more efficient way to not buy a house.

Every great product starts as something people already do for free.
Love the concept, one more thing: a Chance card that's just 'your offer was beaten by an all cash buyer, go back 3 spaces.'
The real infra question is whether the listings are live MLS or a snapshot. One of those answers is a lawsuit waiting.
