This is another of our solo projects in which a traditional idea (the ‘Hot Potato’ children’s game) was turned into a viral-marketing gaming platform.

The concept of the initial game was sparked off after a discussion, about other projects Hector had planned to develop in the near future, with Paris (his youngest brother). At some point the term ‘hot potato’ was introduced and then the whole idea exploded into his head. So he grabbed a notepad and pen and started scribbling down notes and algorithms that could be used to launch such a game as quickly as possible.

24 hours later, the first version of Hot Potato was installed on top of the Hottest OnThisIsland platform and it was successful enough to warrant the investment in a new domain, logo and concept case.

Now standing alone and independent of the HOTI platform, CatchyPotato.com slowly taking a life of its own with plans for a CatchyMarket being mulled over now, in which user’s points can be swapped for discounts at popular stores, rewarding them for the time they’ve taken to play.
