The Rules

Last updated: 26 August 2026

HexBid is a public world map divided into hexagonal cells (~9 km across) — a novelty map game in the spirit of the “Million Dollar Homepage.” You place a paid bid to mark a cell with a name, icon, and optional link; the more you pay, the higher you rank there. This page covers how the game works. See also the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Copyright & Takedowns. HexBid is operated by HexBid (“HexBid”, “we”, “us”). Contact: dogoq.business@gmail.com.

The rules

HexBid is a public map you pay to stand out on. On any cell, your rank is your total bid on that cell — nothing else. Anyone can join a cell, and anyone can pay more to climb.

How ranking works

Bids are whole U.S. dollars, with a $5 minimum.
Your bids add up: every bid you place on a cell is added to your brand’s running total there. To climb, you simply pay the extra you want to add.
The top payer’s logo is shown on the cell and leads it. Everyone who has paid stays on the cell, ranked by their total (see “On the map” below for how this shows as you zoom).
Paying less than the current #1 still puts your brand on the cell, at whatever rank your total earns.
Ties: if two brands reach the same total, the one that got there first keeps the lead — a matching bid can’t take a rank.
Your brand is identified by its website’s domain, so app.figma.com, www.figma.com, and figma.com all count as one brand. Platform links are keyed by their path, so different items don’t share a listing — App Store and Play Store apps, GitHub repos, and X (Twitter) @handles are each distinct.

On the map: the top bid leads, zoom in for the rest

Paying the most never pushes anyone off the map — it decides who is shown first. What you actually see depends on how far you’re zoomed in:

Zoomed out (the big picture): the map groups many cells into large hexagons, and each large hexagon shows a single face — the top-ranked brand inside it (the one that has paid the most there). At a glance, the biggest bidder is who “owns” the hexagon you see.
As you zoom in, those large hexagons break down into smaller ones and finally into individual cells — and more brands come into view the closer you get.
Everyone who paid is still there, listed in order of total bid, highest to lowest. Open any cell or area to see the full ranked list: #1 on top, then every other brand below it in bid order (ties broken by who reached the total first).

What you can list

A product website, or an X (Twitter) @handle.
You must own, or be authorized to represent, the brand you list.

What’s not allowed

Chat and invite links — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and the like. The board is for products and profiles, not group chats.
Tracking links. Query parameters are stripped from your link, so affiliate, referral, and tracking URLs won’t carry through.
Anything illegal, infringing, deceptive, malicious, hateful, or sexually explicit (see the Terms). To report a listing that shouldn’t be there, see Copyright & Takedowns.

After you pay

Your listing is public. Clicks go to the website or profile you submitted, with tracking parameters removed.
A completed payment is what places your bid on the map.

A possible bonus: Waonder

Down the line, claimed HexBid hexagons may also appear inside the Waonder app — a fun potential crossover. This is planned, not promised: it is not a guarantee, it is not something your claim pays for, and nothing you buy on HexBid is conditioned on it. If it ever happens it would come under its own separate terms — and the earliest claims would already be on the board.

Payment & contact

By completing your purchase you confirm you’ve reviewed your listing and authorize the payment. If anything’s wrong — a mistyped link, a technical hiccup — email us at dogoq.business@gmail.com before opening a dispute or chargeback, and we’ll gladly help sort it out. Nothing here limits any rights that can’t legally be excluded.
