Sparq Games Revolutionizes Mobile Sports Gaming with AI, Blockchain, and NIL Rights

Sparq Games, a proprietary mobile gaming publishing and acquisition platform, has announced the pre-production of its first game title, Crown U™. This innovative game integrates artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain technology, and collegiate name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights to redefine mobile sports gaming.

Crown U™ is a fast-paced, multiplayer game featuring real college athletes, schools, and stadiums in exciting cross-sport competition. Unlike traditional sports simulations, Crown U™ blends fun and skill-based gameplay with the chaotic energy of party knockout games like Fall Guys™. The Sparq team utilized their intensive, proprietary AI approach to select the game genre, subgenre, game mechanics, and game economy features.

An optional blockchain-enabled rewards program allows fans to earn incentives through cryptocurrency tokens and digital assets in the off-game Sparq Locker Room™. This elegant blend of Web2 and Web3 gaming features offers an innovative way for fans to engage with their favorite college sports.

Sparq's publishing and acquisition team has over 140 years of experience working on some of the most valued IP in existence, having formerly led efforts for Lord of the Rings™, Marvel Comics™, Dungeons & Dragons™, Game of Thrones™, Madden NFL™, and over 25 other major game titles. The team's veteran-led, proprietary gamer acquisition engine is also fueled by AI support and cutting-edge user acquisition tools and applications.

“Our experienced team is strategically blending blockchain technology and our proprietary AI approach to mobile game publishing and acquisition to connect passionate college sports fans around the world to university brands and the storied traditions, excitement, and experiences that make the college sports experience so completely unique,” said Jan Horsfall, CEO and co-founder at Sparq Games.

As part of the extended relationship, Sparq will enable universities across the U.S. such as the University of Utah to monetize their committed fan bases. Sparq will target over 700 universities and direct NIL gaming integration from more than 100,000 men and women collegiate athletes, providing unparalleled opportunities for fan and gamer engagement through the power of modern gaming.

The athletes themselves will get paid through a blockchain backend that assures all vital record-keeping of activities will be on hand for each athlete and university to verify NCAA compliance.
