Overview
Fan Arena, in collaboration with Circus, has launched an exciting new football prediction game that blends the thrill of fantasy sports with the strategy of match predictions.
This game, known as the Circus Challenge, is designed for fans of the Belgian Pro League and the Champions League, offering a fun and engaging way to test their football knowledge and intuition.
The game’s innovative approach and rich rewards have already started capturing the attention of football enthusiasts.
Challenge
The main challenge for Fan Arena and Circus was multifaceted. First, they needed to engage a betting audience that is constantly seeking new and exciting ways to interact with sports content.
Attracting new players, especially those who are not yet active in betting, was another critical goal.
Additionally, converting non-bettors into active participants required a fresh, compelling approach that would resonate with a broader audience.
From an operational perspective, automating the game results, tracking winners, and ensuring a seamless experience were crucial for scaling the game efficiently.
Solution
Fan Arena and Circus developed the Circus Challenge, a football prediction game with a unique fantasy twist. The game’s concept is straightforward yet captivating: players predict the outcomes of matches in the Belgian Pro League and Champions League by choosing between a home win, a draw, or an away win. To add a layer of strategy, players can select their favorite attacker, whose fantasy points from goals, assists, and other contributions boost the player’s overall score.
To enhance the excitement, the game includes features like the X2 booster, which allows players to double their points for a specific match. Additionally, private leagues were introduced, enabling players to compete against friends or other leagues for extra rewards, fostering a sense of community and competition.
The prize pool is generous, offering cash rewards for the best predictors, including €300 for the top performer each matchday and additional prizes for the top 20 players in each period. Moreover, every participant benefits from extras like boosted odds and the chance to win an additional €100 in a best odds tournament.
By addressing the challenges head-on, Fan Arena and Circus have created a sports prediction game that not only engages existing bettors but also attracts new players and converts non-bettors into active participants. The seamless automation of game results and winner tracking ensures a smooth, scalable experience that can handle the growing interest in this innovative gaming experience.
