Problem
Many football fans seek ways to enhance their engagement with the sport beyond simply watching matches. Existing prediction games often lack a social component, limiting interaction and community building among participants. Furthermore, opportunities to support charitable causes through these activities are scarce.
Solution
LEAGUES by Madsummer Games is a risk-free, social gaming platform designed for football fans to predict English Premier League (EPL) winners and compete against friends, colleagues, and even a blindfolded monkey named Charity. Players create or join groups, select a different EPL team to win each round, and track their progress on a leaderboard. The platform promotes social interaction and mental well-being by fostering a fun, competitive environment. A portion of membership fees and any winnings by Charity are donated to mental health charities.
Target Audience
The primary audience includes football fans who enjoy predicting match outcomes and seek a social, risk-free gaming experience with opportunities to support charitable causes.
