Double Coconut provided Web3 development services for a digital games company. The team designed and developed a Trusted Computing Group (TCG) platform for users to trade cards and sell and read digital comics.
Double Coconut built a skill gaming platform with unique Web3 integration. The team also created a comic reader with a unique UI/UX design. Double Coconut adapted to challenges and was responsive despite the time zone difference with the client, launching all projects on schedule.

Varied but always more than 10
Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
We needed someone to execute on multiple products being built in the Web3 space that was not a token offering. We wanted to sell folks actual digital comics and trading cards that they could buy, sell and trade just like they would their physical counterparts. Our engagement started with a Skills game platform that they built rapidly. From there they took over from a pervious developer to build the Emergents TCG back up from scratch.
In addition to being a deep strategy game the TCG had a unique bonding curve pricing system and custom smart contracts that were needed for each card. They needed to integrate our rules engine, create a deckbuilder and collection page that could interact with the smart contracts, oversee the new user experience. Plus this all had to be compliant with all of the various acronyms since we were aiming real products for a mainstream audience and not just some token grab.
Then we had to do this all again for InterPopComics.com which was a digital comic reader and marketplace that allowed comic book owners to vote on outcomes from one comic to the next.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
Quite simply they hit every benchmark we set out for them. They built a skill gaming platform. They built a digital TCG with completely uniqueWeb3 integration that could go toe to toe with the best games in that space. They built a comic reader that provided a completely unique user experience. All of this while meeting our standards for PII, KYC, AML and all the other acronyms.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
David's team was super responsive even with some challenging time zone differences. Projects all launched on schedule.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
I was impressed with their ability to adapt to any challenge we put in their path.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Double Coconut could have done differently?
Hard question to answer. It was a whole new world of Web3 that was flying in the face of traditional Web3 products while facing stiff headwinds of adoption from non-Web3 folks. I think there were a lot of things that could have been done differently but I don't believe there was a clear way to know what they were in the moment. Bottom line is that David and DC delivered all the things we asked of them time and time again.

An airport restaurant company hired Double Coconut to design and develop complex iPad games using HTML5. The games allowed customers to entertain themselves and win free food and drinks.
Thanks to Double Coconut’s quality work, the client saw an increase in the average customer order because people enjoyed playing. The team managed the project on time and within budget and communicated well through weekly meetings and Slack. Overall, they were creative and highly engaged partners.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the former chief digital officer of OTG Management. We operated restaurants at several US airports. We had about 20,000 iPads that people used to order and play games.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Double Coconut?
We had about 100 million guests every year in our restaurants. Many used our iPads to place their food orders, read the news, and play unique games to win prizes like free food or drinks.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
Double Coconut helped us design and develop complex games using HTML5 as the key technology. They also provided maintenance and monitoring of the games, which were based in the cloud. If the systems or servers had any issues, they took care of them.
What is the team composition?
We had 3–4 teammates assigned to our team, including a graphic designer, a programmer, a project manager, and a testing engineer.
How did you come to work with Double Coconut?
A friend of mine worked with their group and referred them.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent somewhere over $1 million.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked with them from June 2015–December 2018.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Our customers liked the games; the more they liked them, the longer they sat at the restaurants and the more they ordered. We wanted to make sure the people enjoyed playing, and they definitely did, so it served the business purpose.
Double Coconut’s team was creative and helped us design good-quality games.
How did Double Coconut perform from a project management standpoint?
They ensured we planned realistic timelines and budgets and got everything done. Moreover, they delivered on budget and on time.
We communicated regularly through weekly online meetings and Slack.
Are there any employees from the service provider's team that you would like to give a shout-out to in this review?
David (Founder) was very involved with the project. He was extremely helpful in many ways.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Many software or game development agencies don’t get involved in the creative part of the project. They expect customers to say what they want and then just create that. However, Double Coconut helped us come up with good ideas. Even after we built the game, they came back and suggested things to try. They felt like a partner, not a software development shop.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, we had no issues with them.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
First of all, declare your budget and timelines. Secondly, make sure you have the right project management people involved from their side. Some people save money by saying they’ll manage the project themselves, but that doesn’t work out well. It’s better to pay them and let them handle the project.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
The scope of work encompassed the development of a multifaceted gaming application designed for iOS, Android, and Web platforms with the primary objective of imparting educational content on STEM subjects to children, thereby expanding the client's educational programming outreach. The application featured three distinct mini-games, each focusing on elements from the periodic table, to engage young learners in interactive educational experiences. The first mini-game centered around a recipe theme, providing children with insights into how elements from the periodic table are present in the nutritional components of various foods. Through interactive gameplay, users explored the relationship between elements and nutrition, fostering a deeper understanding of basic chemistry principles in their body. The second mini-game immersed players in a water cleaning scenario, where they learned about the biological, physical, and chemical contaminants commonly found in drinking water. By interacting with the game mechanics, children discovered the composition of water itself, comprised of the fundamental elements hydrogen and oxygen, as well as gained awareness of how elements are found in nature. In the third mini-game, players embarked on an excavation adventure to unearth minerals essential for building a cell phone. By collecting elements such as silicon, iron, and lithium, participants not only engaged in entertaining gameplay but also gained insights into the practical applications of elements in modern technology. The application boasted additional educational features to enrich the learning experience, including quizzes to assess comprehension, a curated library of educational videos covering various scientific topics, and a user-friendly platform enabling children to pose questions about science and vote on inquiries from their peers. These features aimed to foster curiosity, critical thinking, and collaborative learning among young users. Key deliverables for this app included fully functional mini-games, seamless integration of educational content, implementation of quiz features, incorporation of the video library, and development of the question and voting system, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging educational experience for children exploring the fascinating world of STEM.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The project was divided into 14 feature milestones. The Double Coconut Team consistently delivered the milestones to spec on time and within budget.

This app is a non-profit initiative within a risk-adverse corporation, so there are unconventional constraints to the game design of the app. Double Coconut is excellent at delivering a defined idea, but could have provided different consultation for these unique constraints during the idea phase of the project.

Double Coconut develops PC and mobile games and also converts games developed in-house so they’re accessible on additional platforms. They’re currently building a mobile game with Unity for cross-platform use.
Attentive project management from their CEO has led to a strong, trusting work relationship. Double Coconut’s developers deliver work that’s largely error-free, on time, and on budget.
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this
client over the phone. Below is an edited
transcript.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the CEO of iWin, Inc. We’re a casual PC and mobile game publisher and distributor. We create puzzle and word games, and we distribute about 3,000 games on our site that users can pay a flat fee to access.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Double Coconut?
We initially hired them in 2013 to create an Android version of an existing game.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We have an internal team, but we outsource a lot of our PC game development to them. They’ve worked on five of those, as well as a few mobile games. They’re currently porting another mobile game to Unity for us, so it’ll be accessible on a variety of platforms.
What is the team composition?
I usually coordinate directly with David Fox, their CEO. When we’re improving a game, we’ll frequently be assigned developers who’ve worked on it in the past, but we don’t specify who’s on their team for each project.
How did you come to work with Double Coconut?
I used to work with David. If we think one of our projects will fit their skill set, we’ll create a proposal defining the project scope and submit it to them.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent between $250,000–$500,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with them in 2013 and our partnership is ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve launched all of their projects without any major bugs or crashes. They’re pretty thorough on their QA testing. We’ll occasionally have our internal team or a third party review their work and we’ve never had any issues. Their games have also scaled well on the client/server side.
How did Double Coconut perform from a project management standpoint?
Since we interact with their senior leadership, they’re very attentive and available to us. David’s always on top of all the elements of each project. We communicate regularly via Skype and email, and we’ll occasionally connect via Basecamp or Slack as well.
They’ve grown and expanded over the years, so they have a fair amount of capability. Their engineers are smart and part of their team is overseas in Armenia, which helps keep the cost down.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’ve built up a great relationship with us since the start of our partnership. I have great confidence in their work. They stick to their budget and they’re cost-effective. David’s built a solid team, and he’s a unique leader because he’s an engineer who also has good design sensibility and creates a strong rapport with clients.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Stay close to your project and know what’s going on. Ask for a good design document up front so you understand what they’re building. Exchange feedback about the graphic design regularly so you don’t end up having to change too much later in the project.
