Role: Lead Game Designer

Game: Hitwicket – Multiplayer Cricket Strategy Game

Platform: Android / iOS

Project Type: Recurring LiveOps Tournament Event

Team: Myself (Design), Product Manager, UI/UX Designers, Engineers, Artists

🎮 Context

Hitwicket is a cricket strategy game where players build and train their team and compete in multiplayer leagues. The late-game experience needed a compelling reason for our most engaged users to stay active and spend more — both time and money.

My goal was to create a monthly recurring LiveOps event that:

• Engages our most dedicated users.
• Strengthens the sense of community through alliances.
• Introduces fresh strategy layers to gameplay.
• Drives retention and monetization.

The Big Idea

Design a prestigious social tournament—The Alliance Championship—where top alliances battle for glory, strategize as a team, and fight through a tiered tournament system.

This wasn’t just another leaderboard event. It was a multi-stage, collaborative, and emotionally resonant competition, combining the thrill of sports leagues with the strategy of RPGs.
