Description

From February till April 2013 Slash Games helped developing a web platform called Campus Buddies. For the client yourfone.de a platform was created that used gamification for a "customers recruit customers" program.

Customers of yourfone could earn points by advertise yourfone and in the best case create new customer contracts for yourfone. These points can be used to buy rewards and they were used for a regular monthly/yearly competition between many universities.
