Torno Games
Building a Unified Mobile Gaming Hub — Torno Games (iOS & Android)
Engagement Overview
Company: Cadastral AI | Industry: Insurtech / Underwriting Automation
Torno Solutions partnered with the client to design and deliver a modular, cross-platform gaming platform that could host multiple games under one ecosystem — improving retention, accelerating releases, and enabling live-ops scalability.
The Challenge
Key pain points included:
- Fragmented Ecosystem — Multiple apps with no shared wallet or progression.
- Low Retention — Sharp drop in Day-1 and Day-7 engagement.
- Operational Inefficiency — Each game mode required duplicate builds and releases.
- Compliance Hurdles — Privacy, age gating, and fair-play enforcement were inconsistent.
The Founders Needed
- A unified gaming hub integrating multiple titles under one platform.
- Scalable backend to support millions of players and faster launches.
- Live-ops tools for tournaments, rewards, and events without new builds.
- Compliance-ready architecture ensuring privacy, age gating, and fair play.
