The Challenge.
Avoid Regulatory Issues
The WhoDunitCats game logic needed to be structured in a way that would align with the creator’s regulatory requirements regarding gaming and lotteries.
Instantly Connect
Users need to be excited about the game throughout the entire process through visualization and compelling UI/UX.
Maximum Security
A global gamified experience would have shortcomings on Web2. To avoid potential hacking, mutable NFT’s create a tamper-proof experience.
Our Strategy.
Fun first, technical behind the scenes
To connect with users that are looking to play a game and win prizes without any knowledge of the web3 space we couldn’t overshadow the experience with the technical layer. We removed the complexity and ensured fun user experience was at the forefront without compromising on security.
User Journeys /
Game Logic.
An important step in the process was to continuously map out user journeys to validate the outcomes and ensure there were no loopholes in the game.
From paper sketches to…
Our creative process is extensive-consistently exploring options and sketching is critical to arrive at something unique and memorable.
Conclusion
Every element of the design and development process was important to bring this Web3 board game to life. Ethereum was the perfect choice to attract more users and create a seamless wallet experience.
Development of the product is complete and the go-to-market strategy is underway. We are continuously monitoring the product and have moved into a team augmentation approach to give support where needed.
