Custom games for real businesses

Your customers skip ads. They don't skip a game they're winning.

We build a retro arcade platformer around your business. Your mascot is the hero, your street is the level, and every level beaten unlocks a real discount at your counter or your checkout.

Watch

What a custom game does for your business, in 90 seconds.

How it works

Three things every game gets from your business.

1

Your mascot becomes the hero

A cat, a chef, your logo, your best-selling product. We model it, animate it, and put it on the start screen. If you don't have a mascot, we design one with you.

2

Your world becomes the levels

Your storefront, your block, your menu, your shelves. Customers recognize the places, which is the whole point. Every level is themed to something they can walk into or add to a cart.

3

Your rewards get wired in

Beat a level, unlock a reward. A discount code that works at checkout, a free pastry at the counter, a coupon for the next purchase. Bigger levels, bigger rewards, so they keep coming back. Every game ships with a Game & Character Guide for your staff and your launch.

Case study

Lion Run

Built for a Minnesota hemp company with three stores and an online shop. Their white lion mascot runs through the real neighborhoods where their stores are: Grand Avenue, Lake Street, the Saint Paul Skyway. Fifteen levels. Each one beaten adds another percent off at their online store, up to 15%.

Game ideas

What yours could look like.

Every game is built from scratch. These are starting points we'd bring to the first call.

Coffee shop

Barista Cat

Your cat races down Main Street, dodging spilled lattes and collecting beans. The QR code goes on the cup sleeve.

  • Clear level 1 → free pastry with the next latte
  • Clear level 3 → free drink on their birthday
  • Regulars play on the walk over
Pizza place

Lunch Rush

The chef hops through the lunch rush catching falling toppings. The QR code goes on the table tent.

  • Guests play while they wait for the order
  • Finish a level → 10% off the next visit
  • High-score board on the wall by the register
Online store

Power-Up Run

Your product is the power-up. The game lives in your emails and your social feed, and the codes work straight at checkout.

  • Every level beaten drops a checkout code
  • Players share the link, friends become customers
  • New level every launch, so the list opens the email
Packaged product

On the Pack

The game goes right on the packaging. Scan it in the aisle or at home. Your product gets played with, not just picked up.

Talk to us

Monthly plans run on a 12-month term, and the build fee is billed in 12 equal installments alongside it, so there is nothing large to pay up front. Multi-location businesses add $99 per month per additional location on any plan; one game, every store in it. Founding clients get 25% off the monthly for the first year in exchange for a testimonial and permission to show the game in our pitch. Prices are in US dollars.
