Virtual Padel Club

You inherit a padel club on its last legs: one bare court, four members and the bills unpaid. From there on, the club is yours.

Virtual Padel Club is a management game made for people who actually play padel. No rush and no stopwatches: you set the fee, hire the coach, start the beginners' classes, run Saturday's tournament and watch your members fill the courts... or walk over to the club next door if you let them down.

WHAT YOU DO AT THE CLUB

- Set the weekly fee and find the sweet spot: too dear and they leave, too cheap and you don't make it to the end of the month.
- Build courts, decide whether to roof them, move them around and turn them on the club plan.
- Hire coaches, front desk, maintenance and cleaning. Each one has their own character and their own quirks.
- Run beginners' classes, competition training and a school for the kids.
- Put on in-house tournaments, member dinners and clinics with a guest name.
- Upgrade the bar, the changing rooms, the shop, the lighting, the gym.
- Decorate the club your way: plants, fountains, terrace, pool, pickleball court, car park, the colour of every area.
- Climb from one star to five. The fifth one costs.

A CLUB THAT IS ALIVE

You see the club in 3D from above, and things happen in there. People come in, play their matches, sit on the terrace for a drink and go home. The sun rises and sets. It rains. The courts fill up at seven in the evening, just like real life.

Every member has a name, a face, a level and a mood. There are beginners, social players and competitive ones, and each wants something different from your club. If the atmosphere drops, you notice: first they complain, then they leave.

THE BOOKS MATTER

Every week you see what comes in and what goes out: fees, court hire, classes, the bar, the shop, wages, electricity and maintenance. Overspend and the bank won't forgive you.

YOU COMPETE AGAINST REAL CLUBS

Every week your club enters a league with clubs run by other people in your own tier. You pick your three best pairs, you see what the rival puts out, and on Sunday the round closes and the prizes drop. There's nothing to sign up for.

WITH YOUR FRIENDS

Create an account and you can carry the same game between your phone and your computer. Look your friends up by name, go into their club and see it in 3D, and give them a hand: their members' mood goes up and you both take a prize.

EVERYTHING ARRIVES ON THE CLUB PHONE

The challenges, the press, the federation, the sponsor, the players who want to sign... they don't pop up as windows covering the game: they reach you as messages on the club phone and you read them when you feel like it.

AT YOUR OWN PACE

If you close the game, the club stays exactly as you left it: nobody goes bust while you sleep. You can play for ten minutes on the train or a whole afternoon.

In Spanish, English, French, Italian, Portuguese and German. No sign-up needed to start playing, and free.
