Ampwright Turns Electrical Work into a Persistent City-Building Game
A free browser game where players begin as electrical apprentices, pass a journeyman exam, and help build a fictional city as contractors, engineers, or utility operators.
- For
- Players curious about trades, infrastructure, and systems
- Worth noticing
- Jobs follow five named stages, from rough-in through closeout, with hours and permit records shaping the city.
Field notes
The site frames progression around apprenticeship hours, classroom requirements, and a journeyman exam rather than generic character levels. After that threshold, the player selects contractor, engineering, or utility work, with all three paths operating on the same jobs. The homepage also makes the recordkeeping fiction explicit: permit entries and city growth are game flavor, not official documents or instructions for real electrical work.
