Voodoo announced a new competition that gives candidates the opportunity to win the largest prize pool offered by a publisher.

Voodoo, the world’s number one mobile game publisher in terms of downloads, has announced its new fall contest open to all studios around the world.

  • First Prize – $1 Million, Minimum Warranty – for all games with more than 5 million downloads on iOS in the US within the first four months of a full launch.
  • Second prize – USD 200,000, minimum guarantee – for any game launched and confirmed during or as a result of the competition.
  • Third Prize – $10,000 – for all games with a $0.20 install price and 30% D1 retention on Android or $0.30 per install and 30% D1 on iOS.
  • Referral Prize – $50,000 – for referring a studio with a confirmed popular game during or after the competition.

Voodoo will host a kick-off webinar for all participants at 15:00 CET on October 7, ahead of the competition period from October 10 to December 10, marking the longest competition window in Voodoo history.

Those wishing to participate in the competition can register online here and submit their games by December 10 at midnight CET.
