frequently asked

How much does it cost to claim a spot in Brooklyn Bridge Park?

About $1 per block — 8,192 map tiles, roughly one Manhattan block — with a $5 minimum per claim, which buys up to 40,960 tiles. The price is the area you select, so a single storefront or rooftop in Brooklyn Bridge Park is the $5 minimum; pixel drawings pay only for the tiles you actually paint. Payment is by card through Stripe Checkout, and there are no refunds.

Can someone take my spot in Brooklyn Bridge Park?

Yes — that's the game. Anyone can take over a claim in Brooklyn Bridge Park (or anywhere on nyc.world) by paying its last price plus one dollar, or the plain area price for that spot, whichever is higher. Being outbid doesn't entitle you to a refund; you can always claim it back the same way.

What can I put on Brooklyn Bridge Park, and can I change it later?

A short message, an emoji, an uploaded image (pixelated to fit), or pixel art you draw straight onto the map. As the owner you can edit or remove your claim as often as you like for free, as long as it keeps the same spot — no account needed, edit access is saved in your browser with email recovery. The whole park is a public, all-ages map, so keep it legal and safe.
