Congratulations, you was the highest bidder!
Hi Friends!

Inspiration

Storage Unit Riches was inspired by my passion for thrifting, treasure hunting, and discovering hidden gems. As someone who enjoys finding unique items and giving them a second chance, I wanted to create a fun experience that captures the excitement of not knowing what treasure might be waiting inside a storage unit.

The game combines the thrill of mystery, collecting rare items, and building a successful resale business. Players experience the excitement of bidding on storage units, uncovering valuable finds, and growing their own treasure-hunting empire.

My goal was to create a mobile-friendly game that appeals to a wide audience while encouraging curiosity, exploration, and the joy of discovering unexpected treasures. Every storage unit tells a different story, making each play session feel unique and rewarding.

What it does

Storage Unit Riches is a treasure-hunting and business simulation game where players bid on abandoned storage units, search through hidden items, and discover valuable treasures. Players can collect, sell, and trade their finds to earn money and grow their storage empire.

First item --Each storage unit contains different surprises, from common household items to rare collectibles, vintage clothing, valuable jewelry, and hidden safes. As players earn more money, they can unlock larger auctions, upgrade their abilities, and expand their business.
Second item-- the game is designed to provide an exciting and rewarding experience through exploration, discovery, collecting, and strategic decision-making while remaining easy to play on mobile devices.

How we built it

Storage Unit Riches is created as a solo project in Horizon Worlds using custom scripting, interactive objects, and mobile-friendly design principles. I designed the game around the excitement of storage auctions, treasure hunting, and building a successful resale business.

I built an auction system where players can bid on storage units and discover randomized loot hidden inside boxes, suitcases, safes, and other containers. To keep gameplay fresh and exciting, I implemented rarity levels and random item generation so that every storage unit offers a unique experience.

The game will be design with simple touch controls and intuitive interactions to ensure a smooth experience for mobile players. I focused on creating a fun gameplay loop of bidding, discovering treasures, selling valuable finds, and upgrading your business to encourage replay ability and long-term engagement.

Challenges we ran into

One of the biggest challenges I faced while building Storage Unit Riches was creating a gameplay experience that was both simple and engaging. I wanted players to quickly understand the game while still feeling excited about discovering hidden treasures and progressing through the world.

Another challenge was balancing the reward system. It was important to make rare items feel valuable without making them too difficult to find. I spent time refining the loot and rarity system to create a satisfying sense of surprise and accomplishment.

Designing the game for mobile devices also required careful planning. I focused on creating intuitive controls and interactions that would work smoothly on smaller screens while maintaining an enjoyable gameplay experience.
