Description :The recent popularity of smart phones serves as the perfect platform for users to be engaged and entertained even with moments of free time. We believe the users want fun, social, and intelligent micro-engagements. Specifically, this project proposes to create a Chinese-language word game on the mobile platform. The game is similar to the well-known alphabet-connecting game Scrabble, but based on Chinese characters. The game has a turn-based design, where the users, in their convenience, can play for minutes at a time. It will be integrated with the Facebook platform, where users can play with their friends for social interaction. Moreover, the game allows for free-form wildcard inputs of commonly used Chinese words, phrases and proverbs. We believe this genre of word puzzles is fun, intelligent, and has universal timeless appeal to a wide general audience. We plan to offer the game on the mobile web, integrated with Facebook, and also as Apple iOS and Android mobile apps. It is always free to play the basic game, but the users may choose to purchase game points that unlock extra game features. The two main sources of revenue will be through in-game advertising, and in-app purchase of the extra game points. For long-term plans, future expansion includes extending the game to simplified Chinese, and other character-based Asian languages such as Japanese and Korean. Furthermore, the interactive turn-based gaming platform may be used to host other games and puzzles such as chess or other strategy games.
