Mt Whare in depth.
A financially-savvy, culturally-grounded RPG built on Unreal Engine and AWS, shaped by tikanga Māori. This page is our corporate overview — the live product lives at mtwhare.com.
Every part designed with intent.
Gamified Environment
A rich, interactive game world inspired by Māori culture and values. Quests, challenges, and rewards designed to mirror real-world business and community-building scenarios.
Virtual Economy
Buy, sell, and trade virtual items using in-game currency. What sets Mt Whare apart: virtual success translates into real-world opportunities — microloans, mentorship, and resources to start businesses.
Community Building
Drawing from whanaungatanga, players form guilds modelled on traditional Māori social structures. Pool resources, work on collaborative projects, and tackle bigger challenges together.
Educational Modules
Financial literacy, entrepreneurship, homeownership pathways, and Māori business practices — woven into gameplay. Skills players apply in-game and in real life.
Real-World Integration
Top-performing players and communities unlock real-world benefits: homeownership pathways, entrepreneurship grants, participation in social development projects. Virtual success with material impact.
Customisable Avatars
Players create avatars that represent them in the virtual world — traditional Māori, modern, or anywhere between. Cultural expression and identity exploration, by design.
Homeownership Focus
The game's central goal. Players learn about passive income, build virtual wealth, and translate it into a real-world path to home.
Marketplace Integration
Real-world e-commerce inside the game. Purchase physical goods and services directly — with Māori-owned businesses given a featured stall.
AI-Driven Insights
Personalised recommendations and analytics to help players make informed decisions in virtual business — and provide market research for real-world entrepreneurs.
