Background

Survival Sports started with a simple idea: bring back the thrill of friendly competition. The founders wanted to take the classic “survivor pool” experience, picking a winning NFL team each week and trying to outlast everyone else, and make it digital, social, and easy to play from anywhere. Beyond the game itself, they wanted the platform to do good too, turning every contest into a way to fund community sports programs and give back to the game that started it all.

Challenges

Like many founders, the Survival Sports team had a clear vision but needed help bringing it to life. Every interaction mattered: from making sure users could only pick each team once, to tracking eliminations, scores, and payouts automatically each week. The challenge was blending a fast, intuitive experience for players with the complexity of real-time game logic and admin management behind the scenes. Our job was to translate that vision into a product that felt smooth to use and powerful to run.

Outcome

The result was a fully realized platform that captures the energy of live sports and the strategy of survivor gameplay built to scale and engage. Fans can join contests, make picks, and follow their progress through a responsive interface that feels as natural on mobile as it does on desktop. Behind the curtain, a robust admin dashboard keeps everything running from contest setup to payouts. For founders, Survival Sports shows what’s possible when a bold idea meets the right product strategy, design, and development team.
