Design Home is a mobile game developed by Glu Mobile. The game focuses on interior design. It was released in November 2016 on both iOS and Android.[1] As of September 2018, the game had been downloaded more than 46 million times and had over one million daily active users.[1]
Gameplay
[edit]Players take the role of an interior designer. They are presented with rooms to decorate, along with short blurbs describing the client they are decorating for and the client's wishes and requirements. The rooms have blue bubbles indicating where required furniture items go, and purple bubbles indicating where players can place optional items such as lamps, rugs, plants, and artwork.[2]
The game has two types of currency which can be used to purchase furniture and decorations; cash and diamonds. Some items cost cash, others can only be purchased with diamonds.[2] Players can use diamonds to purchase additional cash if they are short, but they cannot use cash to purchase diamonds.[1] Diamonds can be purchased with real-world currency.[1][3]
Once players have finished decorating the room, they submit it for voting. Players are presented with two different versions of the room and asked to vote on which one they like best.[2][1] The rooms are assigned a score from 1-5 stars based on how many votes they got. Rooms that get 4 stars get a furniture prize, and ones that get 5 stars get the furniture and some diamonds.[1]
