Merging Physical and Digital
Unicorn Amusement represents a convergence of physical entertainment and digital engagement. The app connects to IoT-enabled claw machines, allowing users to track their plays, earn rewards, and interact with the machines remotely.
Real-Time Communication
Using WebSockets and RESTful APIs, the app communicates with the hardware in real-time. This ensures that user credits are updated instantly and that machine status is always accurate.
Gamification
To increase user retention, a comprehensive rewards system was implemented. Users earn points for every play, which can be redeemed for prizes. This loop keeps users engaged and encourages repeat visits to the physical locations, guided by the integrated Google Maps feature.
