# What is Mars Move-In?

> Mars Move-In is an interactive digital colony built on real Martian coordinates. You claim a plot, build a habitat in your brand's colors with your logo on it, and get your own Mars address like marsmovein.com/your-name. Anyone can take your plot over by paying 1.25× its value.

## A colony you can walk through

The home page is the colony itself: an isometric map of 440 plots around a landing pad in Jezero Crater, the same crater NASA's Perseverance rover explores. Drag to look around, zoom in to read names, and zoom all the way out to see the whole planet turning.

Every habitat on the map belongs to someone. Tap one to see who built it, what it's worth, how many times it has changed hands, and a link to their website.

## Claim, build, share

Pick an empty plot, choose a habitat type (a dome, a greenhouse, a lab and more), upload a logo, and pay once. Your habitat lands on the map for everyone watching, and you get a shareable page with its own preview image.

Each account can hold up to 2 habitats. There's no subscription; a plot stays yours until someone takes it over.

## The takeover twist

Any habitat can be taken over by paying 1.25× its current value. The new owner moves in, the price becomes the plot's new value, and the previous owner receives Oxygen Credits worth what their habitat was valued at, to spend on their next plot.

That turns the map into a slow-moving game: popular plots near the landing pad get more expensive every time they change hands, and bigger buildings unlock as a plot becomes more contested.

## Built on the real Mars

Coordinates, local Mars time, day and night all follow the real planet. When it's night in Jezero, the colony's lights come on; shadows fall where the Martian sun puts them.

## What it is not

Mars Move-In is an interactive digital colony and billboard experience built on real Mars geography. A plot is not land, not real estate, not an NFT or cryptocurrency, and not an investment. Oxygen Credits have no cash value.

## Key points

- Claim a plot from $5 and put your logo on a habitat
- Anyone can take over a habitat for 1.25× its value
- Displaced owners get Oxygen Credits for their next plot
- The map follows real Mars time, light and coordinates

## Common questions

### Is Mars Move-In free to browse?

Yes. Anyone can explore the colony, open habitats and follow links without an account. You only pay to claim or take over a plot.

### Do I need an account?

Only to claim or take over a plot. Sign-in is by a one-time email link; there's no password.

### Is Jezero Crater a real place?

Yes. It's a 45 km crater on Mars where NASA's Perseverance rover landed in 2021. The colony itself is fictional.

### Can my plot be taken away?

Yes, that's part of the game: anyone can take over a habitat by paying 1.25× its value. You receive Oxygen Credits worth your habitat's value.

### Is this an investment?

No. Plots have no resale market and credits can't be withdrawn. Buy one because it's fun or useful, not to make money.
