PROJECT DESCRIPTION (FOCUS, SCOPE) –
Mexico Social Space Game (SSG)
Social Space gamesare designed to be played in social/”destination area” environments such as bars, restaurants or in places where a large number of people congregate. Unlike regular lottery games, social space games are drawn using a TV monitor and a random number generator drawing mechanism. The draw takes place every few/several minutes allowing players to continue enjoying the game without having to wait for a specific time to find out the winning numbers.
The project should focus on getting a better understanding of the Mexican market and how likely a SSG is to succeed. Our objective is to gather market information that can assist us when evaluating the type of Social Space game, the market propensity, possible cannibalization of popular games within the portfolio, as well as an estimated contribution to total sales of the game.
DELIVERABLES (GOALS, WHAT ARE CLIENT EXPECTATIONS) –

• Understand market propensity towards a social space game.
• Assessplayer performance and how the game would work in the Mexican market.
• Impact on/from competition, as well as cannibalization of existing games.
