Understanding Spark
Spark is Upland’s in-game utility token that serves as the primary resource for constructing buildings, monuments, and other structures within the metaverse. By utilizing Spark, players can personalize their virtual properties, making them stand out and adding unique elements to the Upland landscape.
Step-by-Step Guide to Building Structures with Spark:
- Acquire Spark: The first step in building structures in Upland is to acquire Spark. You can earn free Spark through various in-game activities, such as completing 7 straight days of logins, participating in events, or by purchasing it directly from Upland during events called Spark Week. You can also rent Spark for a period of time to complete structures from websites like House of Spark and/or UPX Spark Exchange.
- Select a Property: Choose a virtual property where you want to build your structure. Each property has its own unique characteristics, and the location can significantly impact the visibility and appeal of your creation. Research different areas of the Upland map to find the perfect spot for your project. Size is also an important factor when when building a structure. Each structure requires specific space on a property. If you are building a factory you will want some extra space on that property to hold your manufactured items.

Select the property, then click the manage option from the pop up menu. Now click build, from here it will give you a list of structures you can build. It will also show how much Spark is required. Select the structure you like, position it on the property, pick paint colors and hit submit to start construction.
- Allocate Spark Wisely: Spark is a finite resource, so it’s essential to allocate it wisely. Your Spark will return to you once construction completes. Consider the cost of each building component and balance your budget to ensure that your structure fits within your available Spark. Prioritize elements that contribute most to your design while staying within budget

If this fails remember you can affordable rent Spark from the sites mentioned above. Those sites themselves will walk you through how the rental process works.
- Showcase Your Creation: Once your structure is complete, showcase it to the Upland community. Share screenshots, host virtual tours, or even organize in-game events to attract attention to your creation. The Upland community appreciates unique and innovative designs, so don’t be shy about displaying your work. I always enjoy decorating the yards of my structures with Map Assets.
