Gamer's Galaxy
A safe space gaming platform where you can connect with you friends and find strangers whom you vibe with, play games and have some good time
The problem Gamer's Galaxy solves
- Lack of Indian gaming platforms
- Regular games make you unhealthy
- Social Apps aren't optimized to help you meet new people
- Regular social media allow anyone to find & contact you, risking your privacy 😰
Our Solution
We bring you a platform where you can connect with your friends and meet new people who share similar interests (Don't worry about ice breakers we have you covered 😉). Once you connect, our app allows you to casually chat with your friend or if you feel shy indulge in some casual gaming. Our games have conventional as well as AR mode which gives you a more immersive gaming experience. AR games encourage you to move around while playing therefore bring a more healthy gaming experience.

Challenges we ran into
Firebase Child listener doesn't get removed
Fix : Store the reference in a variable directly and remove listener from that variable (bug in firebase Unity SDK)
Internal conversion of JSON
Fix : We used deserialization API along with simpleJSON to work with JSON data
Future Prospects
- AR voice puppets
- Send audio notes and choose an avatar to deliver it
- Other person receives that note through the avatar in AR
- Cloud anchor based games
- Real location multiplayer games for when you meet your friends in real world

- We plan to use NLP to categorise user Bio and then prioritise matching them
- This would also flag any troll profiles before it reaches our users
- Activity Suggestions
