APP UPDATE
It’s time to introduce to the world, Festigral. The perfect tool for enthusiasts to create, manage, and play events in your area.
With a unique take on a no nonsense feature set, a few hidden secrets scattered around, and a desire to be something more than just an app, Festigral makes it easy to find and attend the best events in your city.
While the current release version is still in alpha and is only accessible via invite, we’re excited to share how Festigral can bring a unique experience to both creators and players alike. Let’s get started!
We wanted to do something new with Festigral.
Most events apps are simple in nature, they help you create an event, and then maybe help you remember about that event…months after it was supposed to happen. Festigral is different. We wanted to create something that brings the excitement of either making or hosting an event, but also the satisfaction, thrill, and enjoyment of being able to participate in that event immediately, without having to wait for it to start.
So we did just that, and combined the best of both worlds to bring an experience that will satisfy both those needs.
That being said, events get stale, and you don’t want to deal with an app that always forces you to see dead events whenever you open it (looking at you Facebook 😑).
We created a system that keep the event list fresh and unique to you so there’s always something to do whenever you log on. These are broken down into app challenges or user creations, and are constantly being updated based on their type.
Events expire after a certain amount of time and players of those events get a couple goodies whenever that happens. What are those goodies you ask?
Festicoins run this whole show. Think of them as Festigral’s in game currency and your overall player score.
All events on the app are paid with Festicoins, and you can obtain them by either paying for a pack, receiving them as a reward for winning events, or playing daily challenges.
The more coins you have, the more events you can play or create. That, and it helps us keep this whole show on the road. Speaking of the road…
It doesn’t make sense for you to find this really cool event halfway across the country…and they only be able to play it by driving out there to physically participate 😭.
So we made the entire event pool localized to you. The playable region will be automatically calculated once you create an account, and new regions with their corresponding events will only be accessible if you are within that specific region.
It saves us both a bunch of hassle and helps keep things closer to you. This also has the advantage of being able to find other local enthusiasts to compete against or make friends with after the event you’re playing expires.
But what if you want to be a creator…
The one downside of creating a platform that allows people to create and play events…is you need people to play the events. This plagues us as the makers of Festigral…but also the creators that make events for others to play.
That being said, there are very beneficial reasons why you would want to be a creator on top of a player.
Making events on Festigral is simple, just visit the event creation page and customize how you want your event to be 📝. But unless you get people to visit your event, it might just end up being a 1v0.
So we designed Festigral to be sharable, and it’s all thanks to QR codes. When someone scans your event’s QR code with the built in scanner and then end up entering your event, you’ll get a small percentage of what they paid to enter.
The more people that join your event with your share code, the more you can earn. This is on top of what happens when your event expires.
Because we wanted Festigral to always be fresh, events need to cease to be…at some point. But that’s not a bad thing.
If you’re the owner of an event that expires, you get a small percentage of the overall competition pool.
It adds incentive to create popular events, on top of being the player that wins it all. Speaking of that…
FESTIGRAL IS A GAME, and games have winners and losers.
The losers unfortunately don’t get anything once the event expires (no free handouts for those who can’t meet the cut).
The winners however, might as well be treated as a god 🥇. Winners (yes, their can be multiple winners) get a massive percentage of the competition pool that will be directly accredited to their account once the event expires.
They will be notified via email, or they can just check out the app to see if they won or not. The more you win, the more events you can play
This is just a small taste of what Festigral has to offer, and this is just the beginning.
We’re currently in the “MOTORCLASS” phase of Festigral. Find out more about the MOTORCLASS phase.
Give Festigral a try and see if you like it or not. Share it with your friends and make it go viral (we’ll personally reward you with something cool if you help us get more people onboard).
But most importantly, we want you to have fun, and enjoy Festigral safely (or don’t, were not your parents ✌️).
