Challenge:
To build a suite of games in time
for the European Championships to increase the interactivity and
'stickiness' of the ESPN soccernet.com website.
Solution:
A number of interactive online games were built for ESPN, each reflecting
a different area of interest to soccer fans.
Since its launch in 1995, soccernet.com
has been visited by in excess of 6 million unique users with current
page view traffic exceeding 30 million per month. The site is truly
international in its appeal with a loyal user base originating from
179 countries. Sprite Interactive took the challenge of building
a number of games with a wide enough appeal to attract any football
fan, and with enough playability to keep people coming back time
and time again.
Three games were developed, 'footie addicts',
'spot the ball' and 'guess who?'. The variety and scope of these
games means that there is something for everyone, from the quick
fix of the 'guess who?' game to the more knowledge intensive 'footie
addicts' football quiz. These games have been used extensively,
and now provide an integral part of the ESPN soccernet.com interactive
experience.
