The challenge

Make short head-to-head games that feel fair: matches that start fast, a ranking players can trust, and rules the server checks so nobody can cheat from their own device.

Our role
  • Games including 8-Ball Pool, Street Football, Penalties, Car Racing, Blitz Chess, Darts, Ludo and Whot
  • Matchmaking against real people, plus practice against the computer
  • Free ranked seasons from Bronze to Legend, with a leaderboard per game
  • Clubs, squads, cups and a 3D hub to meet other players
  • An admin panel for seasons, players and settings

How we approached it
  1. 01

    The server keeps score

    Every match is checked on the server, not in the player’s browser, so results can’t be edited on the device.

  2. 02

    Ranked that means something

    Ranked matches are real players only. Ratings move by tier and division, and each season starts halfway back so everyone gets a fresh run.

  3. 03

    Built for the browser

    Games open on a phone or laptop with nothing to install, and each match is a few minutes long.
