This Fall, we’re on the lookout for the next hyper-casual hits. It’s time to bring something new to the table, explore hyper-casual games with depth, and create hits that are here for the long term.
This week, we launched our Fall Competition, which is looking to do just that. We’re offering multiple prizes that range from $1M for big hits to $10k for great ideas with strong metrics, and there’s no cap on these prizes. The more hot protos you submit, the more prizes you can win. With continuous support and inspiration from our Publishing and Product teams, we can help you ideate in the right direction, breaking down our knowledge of how to create a hit game, as well as up-to-date information about what’s hot and what’s trending right now.
The official competition kick-off took place on Thursday 7th October, and you can check out the replay right here.
