Leaders in Attention, Champions of Retention

ThecePlay is the official commercial application of the Twin Galaxies Adjudication Platform and operates as a marketing and service platform that runs real competitions and challenges for real players with zero code required, giving brands an authentic way to engage audiences on a branded microsite

Twin Galaxies powers fair competition on ThecePlay with verified, transparent adjudication and 99% cheat detection accuracy.

Renowned for their expertise in verifying video game player achievements, Twin Galaxies (TG) is a cornerstone in the gaming community. They are celebrated for validating world records. The TG platform is unparalleled, designed to adjudicate video game performance submissions meticulously. This is achieved through a community-led peer-review process, ensuring accuracy and fairness. The platform has successfully processed over 200,000 submissions, a testament to its efficacy and the worldwide gaming community’s trust. In light of this, undertaking such a task independently without ThecePlay would be a significant challenge, given the complexity and scale of the processes involved.

Processing all submissions, including videos…Twin Galaxies’ Submissions and Adjudication Process utilizes a one-of-a-kind, controlled, and blind “peer review” system to adjudicate and authenticate video game achievement claims. Adjudication remains completely impartial because the Adjudicator can vote YES or NO on whether the submission meets the criteria and that no cheating is identified. Others do not influence the Adjudicator as they cannot access what others have voted, how many votes, or even when voting ends. To read more about this process, click here.

Campaigns last weeks, not hours, with measurable engagement and time-spent. Recent programs delivered 1M+ hours with the brand, 3M+ engagements, and 96% of players wanting to compete again.

Most ThecePlay Challenges can be measured through multiple KPIs. Here are some examples:

• Driving awareness/promotion of a tent pole event
• New customer acquisition (first-party data and direct transactions)
• Existing customer engagement 
• Connecting with gaming and brand enthusiasts 
• Unique activation with influencers/creators/brand ambassadors 
• Acquire directed user-generated content

Depending on complexity, a ThecePlay Challenge can launch in as short as two weeks and up to 6 weeks with custom integrations.

• Gaming is an essential and largely untapped market. 83% of the US population are gamers; in 2022, they spent 45 billion hours gaming in 2022
• Increase traction and first party data capture within current campaigns through a ThecePlay Challenge
• More cost-effective: 10% of the cost of an in-game build
• Quicker to implement than in-game brand activations – 2-6 weeks versus 6+ months
• ANY game title can be used to reach brands desired target audience

Share the brand’s target audience, goals, and prizing ideas. The Thece team will brainstorm and use existing gaming and participation data to determine your brand’s suitable game(s) and challenge ideas.  

The game(s) and challenge(s) are custom to each brand initiative, so the game(s) chosen will be suitable for the brands needs. In addition, there are controls over what videos are shown on the branded ThecePlay Challenge page. Thus eliminating brand safety issues.

• The videos can be show upon acceptance in the adjudication process
• The videos can be show upon acceptance and brand approval 
• All videos can be hidden on the ThecePlay Challenge page and only used through curated social videos and wrap ups   

While we would love to take an “if we build it, they will come” mentality, we know that is just not the case. Promotion is essential to obtaining user submission and buzz around the brands ThecePlay Challenge.

• Brand website promotion and links.
• Brand social promotion and links.

• Pair with influencers, add to IRL events, or run traditional media
• Any genre, any game — add a custom map or use the base game
