Tournament Mode

Building TileTarget! has been a great learning experience and a lot of fun. The challenge now has been to drive usage. It's an entirely new puzzle, no pun intended. I plan to spend money on advertising, but I want to get more organic usage first to validate my engagement numbers, which are very strong among my small user base. Give or take 15 minutes of engagement per user per day.

I build a tournament mode to give myself a vehicle to encourage new users. My game is very head to head friendly and asynchronous turn based so lends very well to tournament play. I'm inspired by Chess.com. I'll be testing it this week with a beta tournament billed as the TileTarget! World Championship!

If the mechanics and experience are validated, then I plan to promote a charity/networking tournament on LinkedIn, where I have good engagement. I'll put $10 per player in a pot and the winner will get to donate the entire pot to their favorite charity.
