About Quake
» More Details
Quake is a dynamic, real-time game where participants take the role of home-owners in a fictitious land prone to
earthquakes. The game simulates 50 years of owning a home, typically in a continuous interval of 10 to 20 minutes.
At any time, players may choose to mitigate earthquake risk by upgrading certain parts of their homes.
As the game progresses, an earthquake may occur at any time and cause damage to homes.
The degree of damage depends on the magnitude of the earthquake and the home's distance from the earthquake's epicenter.
