FlashPlays is the only fan engagement tool made by fans for teams. Initially created by four college students as a fun game to play while watching sports, FlashPlays became the largest real-time prediction game in the US with over 6,000 users per contest. Now, one year later, FlashPlays is being offered to sports teams as the premier way to activate their fans during matches and facilitate a loyalty journey throughout the season. As the founding product designer of FlashPlays, I prioritize creating an engaging and meaningful experience for sports fans while maintaining a balance of design, product development, and the company’s business goals.
