EVENT-SPECIFIC CURRENCY

Build event-specific currency to keep the economy healthy … while monetizing the event

[pigeon_protect]Key Takeaways:

  • Constantly manage, monitor, and adjust the economy of your apps. Put mechanics in place to inflate and deflate economy based on app analysis
  • Releasing event-specific economy minimizes new event risks and allows conversion of this specific economy back into the main economy after the event at a healthy conversion rate

Feature Description:

    • Gardenscapes released a separate inbox for event-specific currency gifting
  • Players begin with 5 units of event-currency. More currency is accumulated through event refills, purchases, and sending/receiving gifts
