Business Need

Wine blind tasting gamification platform development for Winegame Inc.

Ability to add friends or group of people for multiplayer experience.

Gameplay functionality to facilitate blind wine tasting challenges.

Proximity games to enable location-based interactions.

Customizability to create a vanilla platform that can be tailored and hosted for any restaurant

The client envisioned developing a unique gamification platform centered around wine blind tasting. The platform aimed to provide an engaging and interactive experience for wine enthusiasts. One of the key features of the platform was the ability to host blind tasting games, allowing users to test their wine knowledge and sensory skills. Users would have the option to add friends or create groups to participate in the games together, fostering a sense of community and friendly competition.

In addition to the blind tasting gameplay, our customer wanted to incorporate proximity-based games. These games would utilize location data to create wine-related challenges or quizzes based on the user's surroundings. This feature would enable users to explore nearby restaurants, wineries, or wine bars while enhancing their wine tasting experience.

Our client aimed to create a versatile platform that could be easily customized and tailored for different restaurants. They wanted the platform to serve as a "vanilla flavor," providing a foundation that could be customized with branding, specific wine selections, and tailored game options for each restaurant. This approach would allow restaurants to leverage the platform and offer unique wine tasting experiences to their customers, enhancing their offerings and providing added value.

By combining the elements of blind tasting, social engagement, and proximity-based games, Winegame Inc. sought to create an innovative and entertaining platform that would appeal to wine enthusiasts, foster a sense of community, and provide a gamified approach to wine exploration and education.
