Jerma’s House Flipper Invitational, organized by Jerma985, was conducted on July 11. It saw various streamers, including CDawgVA, Ludwig, and DougDoug, come together to play House Flipper. It is a management game where players can renovate all kinds of homes, becoming a one-man renovation crew.
The motley crew of participants went through turns renovating each of their houses, with the idea being to come up with the best repair work for each home and make it stand out from the rest. After all, the game, available on PC, PS, and Xbox, aims for players to create their dream homes, with the remit being to clean, renovate, and sell each reworked house.
Apart from the host, the likes of Vargskelethor and CDawgVA took the most time redoing their abodes. Meanwhile, content creators like ConnorEatsPants, RTGame, and Cricken took much lesser time to set up their renovated homes, although the focus mostly remained on jerma985’s work. To round off the stream, it was RTGame (96.65 points), Etalyx (96.55), and DougDoug (96.05) who each got A grades to walk away as the three winners of the invitational.
