Grats Dream Adventure — a game ecosystem in Telegram

A multi-purpose web app inside Telegram that raises audience engagement with a match-3 game and an endless runner, a shared in-game economy and a prize wheel that promotes partner offers natively.

Build an interactive mini app for the Gratio ecosystem that turns players’ time into an effective marketing instrument. We needed two games of different genres with a shared balance, a long-term retention system based on daily rewards and a prize draw with partner bonuses — all within a fixed budget.

Industry: gaming, marketing technology, messenger mini apps
Technologies: React, TypeScript, Python
Timeline: 2.5 months

Combining a dynamic runner with a puzzle broadens the audience, while a gentle seven-day calendar keeps users coming back without punishing missed days. Rare character costumes encourage collecting and add excitement. The project delivers direct business value: players exchange earned points for real discounts from major brands (T-Bank, X5, Ivi), which brings partner companies a flow of loyal customers.

We designed the mini app as a single ecosystem: an endless runner and a match-3 puzzle share one economy, one progression system and one reward pool. Points earned in either game can be exchanged for partner offers on the prize wheel, and the daily calendar brings players back without pressure. The architecture keeps the app light enough to run smoothly inside Telegram on any smartphone, with all rewards validated on the server.

We delivered a fast mini app that runs on any smartphone, with server-side reward validation that rules out cheating. The game model ensures a high rate of regular returns. The project was completed on time and strictly within budget by moving the global leaderboard and story cut-scenes into the backlog of future improvements.
