Project at a Glance

Utopia is designed to combine entertainment with e-commerce, allowing users to play games on Android and iOS to win real products. The platform also enables users to earn extra credits by referring friends, completing surveys, or purchasing additional gameplay credits. For users who prefer, products can also be purchased directly without relying on game winnings.

The system includes a CodeIgniter based admin panel for game configuration, inventory and order management, and a merchant portal where businesses can list products for gameplay rewards. This ensures a seamless interaction between users, merchants, and backend operations.
