SCOR and Winners Alliance Launch Cricket-Themed Web3 Game with T20 Stars

SCOR and Winners Alliance have launched a cricket-themed mini-game called Sixer Smash, combining the excitement of T20 cricket with blockchain-based rewards. The game allows players to take on the roles of prominent T20 stars, including Rashid Khan, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes, Andre Russell, and Chris Gayle, among others. Designed with an arcade-style swipe mechanic similar to Fruit Ninja, the game challenges players to hit sixes and collect in-game Gems, which can be converted into $SCOR tokens for rewards such as signed memorabilia [2].

The launch coincides with the peak of the global cricket season, offering a new way for fans to engage with the sport beyond traditional viewing. The platform also hosts a competitive event for the game’s launch, with top performers earning whitelist access to upcoming NFT Cricket Sticker Packs. These packs provide exclusive in-game benefits and access to player avatars in the SCOR Store [2].

SCOR on Sweet, the platform delivering the game, partners with Winners Alliance to bring sports-themed entertainment to a digital audience. With nearly 500,000 monthly active users, the platform has previously launched games like Flappy Racquet ahead of major sporting events. The collaboration reflects an emerging trend of integrating sports with Web3 technologies, where platforms are using digital rewards to deepen fan interaction and create alternative monetization models [2].

Tom Mizzone, CEO of Sweet, emphasized the game’s appeal to both dedicated cricket fans and casual gamers. He described Sixer Smash as a “fun, engaging, and truly rewarding experience,” highlighting the roster of top athletes and the game’s arcade-style accessibility [2]. Manny Redruello, VP of Games at Winners Alliance, added that the initiative represents a natural evolution in how sports are presented in digital environments, allowing fans to interact with their favorite players in innovative ways [2].

The game also aligns with a broader shift in how sports brands are leveraging digital platforms to connect with audiences. As traditional broadcasting models evolve, initiatives like Sixer Smash offer a fresh approach to fan engagement, particularly among younger, digitally active demographics. The inclusion of real-world athletes in the game adds authenticity and helps drive engagement through familiar names and competitive gameplay [2].

By blending arcade-style mechanics with real sports stars and blockchain incentives, Sixer Smash positions itself as a hybrid entertainment offering. It not only enhances the T20 cricket experience but also reflects the growing appeal of interactive, skill-based digital content in the global sports landscape [2].
