Turbo Scratch

Turbo Scratch was a small feature built to keep the JokerPlus beta active. Players answered one quick question, unlocked their scratch cards, and played through a fast loop designed to feel tactile and fun.

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A lightweight game that turned feedback into daily engagement

Instead of slowing players down with surveys, we blended a single daily question with a scratch-card mechanic designed for tension and reward. It created a simple loop users understood instantly and naturally returned to.

TIMELINE

1 Month

CORE INSIGHT

The smallest loops often drive the biggest engagement.

CHALLENGE & APPROACH

Collect meaningful insights without breaking the flow

The beta needed engagement, not friction. So we turned feedback into a reward: answer one question, unlock 12 scratch cards. The scratch mechanic mimicked real motion, added quick feedback, and layered in combos and a timer to keep the pace high. A lightweight leaderboard provided motivation without adding complexity.

The entire loop stayed fast, tactile, and easy to repeat.

CORE INSIGHT

Momentum grows when every action feels effortless.

OUTCOME

A small feature that became a core product

Turbo Scratch kept beta retention high and boosted daily return rates. The loop proved sticky enough that it’s now being developed into a permanent game inside JokerPlus — a quick, rewarding experience built for everyday play.
