VK_2018Q: Hello, 1.
Can I bring these games into my LMS? If yes how? Apart from joy, is there any other benefits from these games, for example like Lumosity or Case study simulations?
2. Where are you based, team size and years in business?
3. I tried to check one of your games, it seems I need to scan QR code with my android mobile and then I can play game only in phone and not desktop, is this understanding correct?
4. Do you plan to add more games down the line, what kind of restrictions will a sumoling who buys this plan will have? Which regular plan is this deal mapped to?
Thanks

May 14, 2024A: Hey Sumo-ling!
1. You can create your own Rooms with custom rounds based on your LMS content.
2. We're based in Toronto, Canada, and have been in operation since Nov 2020!
3. Players can join using any browser with their mobile device or computer by QR code, room link, or by pin. For more information please visit our support page - https://crowdparty.app/support.
4. We certainly have plans to add more games! All new features and games that are part of the Team Pass will be available to this LTD.

Hey there,
I think I can answer #3 since I've been using their free plan a bit.
Yes, there is a QR code, but there is also a PIN that a participant can use by going to crowparty.app and then clicking "Join Game." The person puts in that code and taps "Join" and they're inside the game.
Hope that helps.

Good reason to always proofread... the url is crowdparty.app (with a "d"). Sorry about that.
Sang,
1. What do you mean by custom branding? Means with out buying tier3 I can't integrate your platform with my site domain or what?
2. Can you add ability to capture emails so that I can allow any visitor to play games on my site after giving emails, may be I can collect leads. But will such practice create load on my shared hosting server?
3. Can I tweak games to map them to case simulations and specific domains, for example like lumosity games are good for brain.
4. Please explain me further details as how will I incorporate games in my LMS, can I contextualize games towards specific course, if yes to what extent, can you give me some example?
Thanks

Hey Sumo-ling,

> I am not sure what you mean about bringing it into your LMS. As long as you are present a lesson and have the ability to share your screen, you should be able to use CrowdParty and students to join in.
Our platform mainly focuses on bringing joy! The side effects of joy that we've seen in companies we've worked with include: improved WFH social experience, improved camaraderie, improved hybrid experiences, improved retention of materials during lessons/workshops
2. Where are you based, team size and years in business?
> We are based in Toronto, Canada! (Let's go Raptors!) We're a team of 4 and we launched Nov 2020 so that would be around 1 year and a half.
3. I tried to check one of your games, it seems I need to scan QR code with my android mobile and then I can play game only in phone and not desktop, is this understanding correct?
> Yep, that's correct!
4. Do you plan to add more games down the line, what kind of restrictions will a sumoling who buys this plan will have? Which regular plan is this deal mapped to?
> We have no plans on restricting AppSumo licenses in the future (this would be unfair, and would be additional work for us 😜).
Tier 1 maps to Team Pass
Tier 2 maps to Crowd pass
Tier 3 is an AppSumo exclusive until we add a similar Pass on our Pricing Tiers
Hope this helps! :D
Best,
Justin

Hi Justin,
I'm a little confused. Is Tier 2 officially mapped to Crowd Pass? If so, could you or someone on the AS team update the description to say this vs. what it says currently: "All future Team Pass Plan updates."
Here's why you're probably going to get this question more and more: in the past, AppSumo partners have said one thing in the description and then upgraded the offer in comments or other question threads.
Later on, there may be updates introduced to that higher level plan that the deal description (the lower tier) plan does not get. Because the deal description was never amended to say it included the better tier/plan, the partner is absolved from providing that update to Sumo-lings, even though he/she had told the community that we'd get the upgraded plan in the comments.
So, as an example, let's say you develop a special group of rooms/game topics that you plan to give only to Crowd Pass holders. Let's call it Primo. If the deal description isn't updated, technically, you could say, "The deal was for the Team Pass, which does not include Primo. To get Primo, you'll need to upgrade to a Crowd Pass."
Has it happened? Yes, it has. Because of this, many Sumo-lings have become very wary of partners who don't want to update the description to reflect new limits/plans they've decided to implement based on feedback from the community.
It's kind of like how very often a website's terms and conditions will state that what is in those terms is what is binding, not any verbal or other communication.

Hi Suzanne_SocialMediaGraphicsBundle!
Thanks for the feedback!
We'll go ahead and request the AS team to make the changes so that this is a little clearer to Sumo-lings :)
Best,

Hey Justin,
Just saw where the deal has been updated to reflect that Tier 2 is mapped to your Crowd Pass. Awesome! Thank you for taking on that feedback and having AppSumo change the terms. :-)
Hi Suzanne,
We've updated the Deal Terms to reflect the different mappings from Tiers to CrowdParty passes.
> All future Team Pass (Tier 1) or Crowd Pass (Tiers 2 or 3) Plan updates
