Fandromeda set out to build a proof of concept for a fantasy sports experience dedicated to cricket in India. The goal was to validate a fantasy cricket product that feels fast, engaging, and easy to use, with a strong foundation for payments, multi-platform access, and future scalability. 

SportsFirst partnered with Fandromeda to design and build the fantasy cricket PoC, including a web dashboard, native mobile apps for iOS and Android, and a secure payment flow for paid leagues and in-app purchases. 

The Challenge: Prove the Fantasy Cricket Experience End-to-End 

Fantasy cricket products succeed when the full journey works smoothly, not just the team selection screen. Fandromeda needed a PoC that could demonstrate: 

• A complete team management experience across web and mobile 

• Simple user flows that reduce drop-offs 

• Payment capabilities to support real monetization testing 

• A reliable backend and hosting setup suitable for growth 

What We Built Together: A Multi-Platform Fantasy Cricket PoC 

The Fandromeda proof of concept delivered a complete fantasy cricket foundation across web and mobile. Users could manage teams, follow player activity, and participate in paid experiences through a secure payments workflow. 

Key Features Delivered 

1) Web Dashboard for Player and Team Management An intuitive web dashboard that enables users to manage their fantasy teams, handle player selection, and track relevant updates. Built to support fast decision-making and clean navigation. 

2) Native Android and iOS Mobile Applications Native apps for both platforms that deliver a smooth fantasy cricket experience on mobile. The product was designed to feel responsive and consistent across devices. 

3) Hosting and Deployment Across Web and Mobile A cloud setup that supports deployment across web and mobile experiences while keeping the platform stable and reliable for testing and early adoption. 

4) Support and Maintenance for the PoC Post-build support to ensure the PoC remained usable, stable, and ready for iteration as product direction and requirements evolved. 

5) Payment Gateway Integration for Paid Leagues and Purchases Secure payment integration to support monetization experiments such as paid contests, premium features, or in-app purchases, enabling real validation beyond engagement metrics.
