Contest Brief

Hi all,

We're planning to launch a new match 3 game similar to Candy Crush with all features but in different story, different objects and of course different design.
Now, we want to create a fantastic world for this game by determining the main subject for this game, instead of candies, what could we have? what will be the objects (items) in the game to match each 3 of them?
what is a suggested name to the game?
what will be the meaning of matching 3 objects together?
what will be the meaning of the boosters?
what sample of message the player will receive when finishing a level?
what does the levels map mean in the story?
what sample of messages, player will receive when leaving the game for 1~2 days?
how the new game will be look in terms of colors and graphics?
Please check the Candy Crush website here: http://candycrushsaga.com and how to play articles http://candycrushsaga.com/how-to-play for better understanding about Candy Crush and the needed complete story.

Please also check GardenScapes game https://www.playrix.com/gardenscapes which is also match 3 game play but with a new story and different game play. You may think of an idea like this to connect the levels and game map together.

Submission to this contest should be a document that include an answer of the above questions as well as the following:
draft messages from the game to players and to their friends
draft icons, map, and graphics (you may just refer to sample in other games or websites)
draft script for introducing the story to the player in the first time playing
draft text for the advertising banners to acquire new players

Submissions will be evaluated based on the complete submission and the creation/quality of it.
This contest is a start for a bigger project, and we may hire you in the future to upgrade your submission into a complete GDD, or to participate in the game design/ development.

Thanks!!!

  @salman132 I like it, but it's not covering the points that I asked in the contest, so it needs more inputs

Good day! What do you think about RPG-style like Puzzle Quest? Are you open to long story-driven adventure type or more of a casual game with story background? Also, are you considering to #increaseprize? Thank you. :)

  Hi,
  I'd prefer the casual game with story in the background. Increasing the prize will not be possible at this stage, but of course this probably will open new business opportunities
