Case Study

How the project moved from constraint to launch.

A concise read of the challenge, the system we designed, and what changed once the product reached production.

01

The Challenge

IPL season is a 2-month window where millions of fans are glued to cricket. Brands want in on that attention — but traditional campaigns like banner ads, discount codes, and social posts get scrolled past. A client needed an interactive engagement campaign that keeps their customers hooked and coming back every single day throughout the tournament.

02

Our Approach

We built a white-label cricket prediction PWA with a two-tap prediction flow: pick the winning team, pick the Man of the Match. Predictions lock 5 minutes before the match creating real urgency. A full gamification engine drives daily habits — points for correct predictions, 7-tier XP progression, streak tracking with animated flame icons, 10 achievement badges across 3 rarity tiers, and daily/weekly/season leaderboards with smart tiebreaker logic. A 5-phase settlement engine automatically scores predictions, recomputes stats, awards badges, rebuilds leaderboards, and queues notifications — all batch-processed and rerunnable.

03

The Result

Delivered a production-ready fan engagement platform with real-time data sync via Convex, fully automated match settlement, and a complete gamification system. Installable as a PWA on any device with no app store dependencies. White-label ready for any brand to deploy with custom branding, rewards layer, and color scheme.
