Retrofit Rally

Diagnose first. Sequence wisely. Transform the neighbourhood.

Retrofit Rally is a five-chapter strategy campaign: learn four distinct buildings, then coordinate homes, a community hub and local shops through one shared-budget neighbourhood capstone. Balance comfort, energy, carbon, cost and resident satisfaction without pretending every good idea fits at once.

Phantom Shift

Built on a 7-to-60 rule: a seven-year-old can start, and a sixty-year-old never feels lectured. SAGE guidance, one-time teaching cards, Show-Me demonstrations and quiet idle coaching are already inside the game — every night adds one new idea about the energy a home quietly uses.
