www.fatcatgaming.com has come up with an
innovative gaming app called Lucky 6. The app has not yet been launched
commercially or over Google Play Store. However, I got an exclusive chance to
preview the app before it goes live and well, I was pretty much impressed with
the concept of the game.
As the name goes, Lucky 6, its
about choosing 6 brands for a day. Was it too short? Let's go a bit in detail. The
game is basically a simplified version of a virtual stock market game. All a
player has to do is choose six brands from a big list of brands. The brands are
listed not only from Indian markets but several other markets as well. Hence,
one can also invest in US and other international brands. Further, the
difference between a virtual stock market game and Lucky 6 is that in this
game, the player does not have to perform complicated calculations to construct
a portfolio of stocks. The value of stocks/ brands does not matter in this game
and only thing that matters is the performance of the brand on that day in real
stock markets.
If the bands/ stocks chosen
for the day perform the best, the player wins. Prizes also range from cash to
luxury holidays which are surely catchy enough to put our mind and brain into
choosing our 6 brands. The name 'Lucky 6' might indicate to you that it is just
about choosing a random 6 brands and then waiting if they emerge as the winning
bets. But the game is surely more about that, you need to calculate and anticipate which stocks
will be the best performing on that particular day and then you select the
brands.
The app has also impressed me
with the ease and convenience of using the app and moving from one option to
the other. The registration process is a simple one page form. Once the user is
activated through the link, the user can simply move on to select his 6 brands
for the next day's game. A timer in the app shows the countdown to the start of
the next round. And if you are facing a dilemma of choices between different
brands, the app has a solution for that as well. A user can select three
different sets of brands as his three entries for the day.
Further, unlike other referral
scheme, where the referrer gets a one-time referral bonus, this game has a
unique referral reward scheme wherein if my referred player strikes the
jackpot, the referrer also gets 25% of it.
As I am writing this blog
post, I am already playing my first round of the game. Fingers Crossed for the
results.
