HANDBALL 3D
Learn how to create, customize, and launch the HANDBALL 3D mini-game on Fastory, an immersive 3D skill game where participants aim at targets to beat the score goal.
HANDBALL 3D is a 3D skill mini-game: your participants must wind up a handball shot to hit the target placed in the goal, clear level after level, and beat the score goal.
What is it for?
HANDBALL 3D turns a simple sporting move into an addictive challenge. Participants aim, shoot, and instantly see whether they hit the target. The difficulty rises level after level, which drives them to replay and improve their score.
It's an ideal format for clubs and brands looking for an immersive sports activation: matchday, fan zone, trade show, or a digital campaign around a competition.
Create a HANDBALL 3D game
Once the add-on is activated:
- Open your experience in Microsite format.
- Add a new screen in the timeline.
- Select HANDBALL 3D from the game catalog.
How does HANDBALL 3D play?
The game unfolds in three steps: the intro, the game itself, and the end screen (win or lose).
- The participant swipes their finger to wind up a handball shot: the direction and speed of the gesture give the handball its spin.
- Each target hit earns points and moves the player toward the next level.
- Collectible items appear along the trajectory to score bonus points.
- The participant has a limited number of lives: a missed shot costs one life.
- The game is won when the score goal is exceeded before running out of lives.
Customize the game
In the game settings, you can adjust:
- the score goal to reach and the number of lives;
- the difficulty: easy, normal, or hard;
- the target: its size and depth to fine-tune the challenge;
- the handball: visual and colors, including the particle color;
- the collectible items: coin mode or up to 6 custom visuals (e.g. your partners' logos), with an optional boomerang effect;
- the background: an image or a two-color gradient in your brand colors;
- the sounds: shot, bounce, spin, target hit, victory.
Best practices
- Start with an easy difficulty and a large target so you don't discourage new players.
- Use the collectible items to display your sponsors' logos during the game.
- Set a score goal that is achievable yet demanding to encourage repeat plays.
