SCOR on Sweet Launches Flappy Racquet, Integrating Tennis Stars with Web3 Gaming

SCOR on Sweet, a rapidly expanding Web3 mini-app ecosystem, has launched its latest mini-game, Flappy Racquet, timed with the commencement of Wimbledon. This new game is an arcade-style tennis experience inspired by the popular mobile game Flappy Bird, allowing users to compete using animated avatars of professional tennis players. Players can enhance their in-game performance and accumulate Gems, which may soon be convertible to $SCOR, the platform’s digital currency. $SCOR can be used for real-world rewards, in-game upgrades, and exclusive merchandise.

Flappy Racquet will soon feature a lineup of prominent tennis athletes through a licensing agreement with Winners Alliance. Upcoming in-game avatars include Nick Kyrgios, Aryna Sabalenka, Barbora Krejcikova, Naomi Osaka, Marketa Vondrousova, and others. Each athlete avatar provides unique power-ups when owned by a user, offering competitive advantages and additional ways to climb the leaderboard.

The game’s release aligns with Wimbledon, one of tennis’s most prestigious global tournaments. Several featured players have notable histories at the event: Barbora Krejcikova is the reigning singles champion and a two-time doubles winner, Marketa Vondrousova claimed the title in 2023, and Nick Kyrgios, a former finalist, is known for his dynamic playing style. Aryna Sabalenka, the 2024 year-end world No. 1, has consistently advanced to the late stages of the tournament. Fans who own these avatars can use them in-game to enhance performance and increase their Gem accumulation, which may soon be exchangeable for $SCOR.

Tom Mizzone, CEO of Sweet, highlighted the unique appeal of Flappy Racquet, stating, "This is what SCOR on Sweet is all about – taking the sports we love and turning them into rewarding, competitive, and addictingly fun mini-games. With Flappy Racquet, we’re combining nostalgia, elite athlete IP, and real-world rewards into a single experience. Whether you’re a diehard tennis fan, a web3 enthusiast, or just someone who loves to compete, this is going to hit."

As part of the collaboration with Winners Alliance, users can redeem the $SCOR earned in-game for exclusive items on the SCOR on the Sweet marketplace. Available rewards include signed, game-worn gear, virtual meet-and-greets with professional players, and other unique experiences developed in partnership with Winners Alliance.

Manny Redruello, VP of Games at Winners Alliance, emphasized the mission of putting athletes first, saying, "Our mission has always been to put athletes first, and this partnership with Sweet helps us deliver new value to tennis players and fans alike. SCOR is more than a game – it’s a platform that celebrates the individual talents of the best tennis players in the world to create visibility and economic opportunity for the athletes and fun interactive experiences for their global fanbases."

Flappy Racquet is now live and accessible through the SCOR on Sweet mini-app across Telegram, web, and mobile platforms. This launch marks a significant step in integrating sports and digital gaming, offering fans a new way to engage with their favorite athletes and earn real-world rewards.
