Wasder

The challenge

Before reaching out to StriveCloud, the team at Wasder was looking for a fitting method to introduce gamification into the Wasder mobile app. They had a clear vision and a gamification strategy developed internally, but when it came to implementation they explored external solutions: ready-built software that could implement all their ideas with minimum time and capital. That's why they decided to partner with StriveCloud, a fully customizable gamification platform that adapts to customers' needs.

‍

The solution

By introducing certain gamification features into their app, Wasder aimed to create a fun and engaging mobile app experience that encouraged users to actively engage in the community. StriveCloud was chosen as the preferred software partner to introduce the different gamification mechanics to the Wasder app and maximize social engagement.

‍

The customer

The Wasder mobile app is a "social gaming micro verse" that connects gamers from around the world and provides a safe and welcoming space for all. With its focus on diversity, creativity, and community building, Wasder is quickly emerging as a leading player in the gaming industry. In a nutshell, Wasder is a social platform for gamers.

Customer story

Working with a company like Wasder was a unique opportunity for our team at StriveCloud. Not only do they have the internal talent for gamification, they also have a deep understanding of the gaming audience's behavior and preferences and can come up with solid gamification ideas themselves.

By working with StriveCloud, Wasder was able to implement their gamification ideas faster and more efficiently. Using our software, Wasder gained the flexibility to incorporate different gamification mechanics into their user experience, motivating users to interact with each other and granting real-time rewards that pay off in the user's app experience.

Our approach

1. Defining the gamification system

Designed to provide users with a sense of progression and achievement as they completed various social tasks. Liking and commenting on posts, joining gaming communities, and posting content reward users with experience points (XP). The system tracks user progress and provides feedback through concrete rewards in real time.

2. Building Season Pass

One of Wasder's premier features. It ushers users to participate in a one-off, unique gaming experience for a limited period. Users pool their gaming hours into one or many games occurring within a season, and aim to rank high on leaderboards before the season ends.

3. Match overview and leaderboard

The leaderboard is fueled by the leveling system. The more users participate in social interactions, seasons, and other in-game features, the more XP they earn. XP is the currency for climbing the leaderboard and unlocking rewards from Wasder or season partners.

4. Daily streak system

To encourage daily participation, the team also created a streak system. Users maintain streaks by opening the app daily, unlocking special features or bonuses that make the app experience even more enjoyable.

Highlights

Maximizing user participation through gamification

A social app is as valuable as its users choose to make it. Wasder designed mechanics that reward participation: liking, commenting, joining communities, and posting content all earn XP. Real-time feedback through concrete rewards drives habit formation.

API-driven progression

Wasder uses StriveCloud's API to send events to the gamification system and get feedback on user progress and XP gained throughout each season.
