Signal & Wire
Build a phone company across California.
Run phone and cable lines on real California streets. Rent the power poles or dig beneath the road, connect homes, schools and hospitals, and grow from one town's first customer to a network across the state.
In early access: play it now while we build it with you.
The game
All of California, for real
Every street, building and hillside comes from open map data: OpenStreetMap, USGS terrain, the Census and land cover. Start in a town you know; the rest of the state downloads as you grow.
Poles, trenches and drops
Rent space on the power company's poles beside the phone and cable companies, or dig: trench, bore or microtrench. Cable reaches the homes along its street, through drops off the pole.
A real company to run
Real prices, speeds and costs, with time compressed so years fit in an evening. Win customers town by town, from the first home to ten thousand, a hospital link and a whole school district.
California pushes back
Wildfire season, power shutoffs, winter storms, floods and earthquakes. Build where it holds up, and fix what breaks before your customers leave.
