Every member of Liana Banyan gets a storefront. Not a profile page — a storefront. A place where people can find you, see what you offer, and buy from you. And it lives on a hex-grid island in Ghost World.
What Is Ghost World?
Ghost World is the visual layer of the cooperative economy. Think of it as a map made of hexagonal tiles, where each tile represents a real member, business, or service.
Your storefront sits on your home island. Nearby tiles show other members and businesses in your area. The closer they are on the map, the closer they are in real life.
It is not a game. It is a visual way to discover what your community has to offer.
Your First Store Is Free
Every member gets one storefront at no cost. Set it up in minutes:
- Name your store
- Describe what you offer (products, services, skills)
- Set your prices (in Credits)
- Upload photos
- You are live
Your storefront syncs with your real-world presence. If you update your hours, your Ghost World store updates. If you add a new product, it appears on your tile. Real store = Ghost Store.
Pop-Up Kiosks
Want to be visible in another neighborhood? Set up a Pop-Up Kiosk on a different island. Pop-Ups are temporary storefronts that let you test new markets without commitment.
A baker in one neighborhood can pop up on an island across town. A designer can set up a kiosk at a virtual craft fair. A service provider can place kiosks wherever demand is highest.
Discovery
The hex grid is not just for looking at. It is a discovery engine.
Browse nearby tiles to find services you did not know existed. Filter by category — food, services, makers, entertainment. See which storefronts are popular (the busier the tile, the brighter it glows).
The Cross-Island Discovery Feed shows you trending storefronts, new arrivals, and businesses that match your past purchases.
Deck Cards
Every storefront has a Deck Card — a digital business card that can be shared, collected, and displayed. Deck Cards are part of the Loteria system: collect cards from businesses you visit, and unlock rewards.
Your Deck Card is your identity in Ghost World. Make it memorable.
Your storefront is waiting. Set it up in your Helm under “My Store.”
