Brixity is a relaxing sandbox city-building game that empowers players to unleash their creativity and design their unique world, brick by brick. With its cozy atmosphere, warm visuals, and engaging gameplay, Brixity provides a healing space for players to build, design, and dream big.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
The primary goal was to maximize download numbers at launch. To achieve this, our initiatives were to drive trial by encouraging players to experience the relaxing benefits of Brixity through sampling, promote self-expression by celebrating players' creativity outside the game and rewarding this behavior to drive organic exposure, and build a strong community by forming a robust pre-launch community through early access and pre-registration campaigns.
STRATEGY
Our team set out to create a compelling narrative that resonated with our target audience—Gen Z gamers aged 18-24 with spending power and influence over younger teens. We focused on urban markets in the US, where mobile gaming thrives, and aimed to position Brixity as a relevant and trending game among cozy gamers who seek relaxation and creativity.
