Meet Nugget, The Award Winning Mobile phone
‘MEET NUGGET’, THE AWARD-WINNNG MOBILE PHONE GAME TAKING INDIAN TEENS BY STORM
“A teenager’s mobile that doesn’t have Nugget on it has no right to be called a ‘mobile’ at all!” Says Priyanka Chopra
Intrigued? Well, meet Nugget, the award-winning mobile phone game for teenage girls and boys that is taking India by storm. Nugget’s motto is “Jhel mat. Khel.” The aim of the game is for the player to identify those interfering adults who kill their vibe and escape their influence to notch up a fat score. It seeks to create, among its players, a recognition of gender stereotyping and the need to escape the force-field it represents.
Admiration for Nugget does not stop with Priyanka Chopra. With over 1.6 lakh downloads to date and topping the Google Play store charts for a whole week, Nugget is making waves with teenagers across India. The judges at GoaFest 2018 – India’s premier advertising awards show – were no exception, awarding Nugget a bronze in the Mobile Game/App category. The only other winner in this category was Jio KBC, also awarded a bronze.
BBC Media Action, with funding from UNICEF, has developed a multi-platform communication initiative in India to address gender equality among adolescents. The initiative uses a diffusion of innovations approach to reach adolescent boys and girls aged 10-19 years and their parents, in primarily peri-urban geographies. The communication initiative spans multiple outputs, including television drama, radio, IVR content, graphic novels, activity books and a mobile phone game.
245 million adolescents in India represent a huge potential demographic dividend that has a critical role to play in achieving national priorities. Reaching that goal, however, will be impossible without building the confidence and competence of adolescents to focus on their dreams and aspirations. Most adolescents struggle as they make the complex transition from childhood to adulthood, characterised by significant biological, emotional and psychological changes. They lead lives limited by the ‘force-field’ (or lakshmanrekha) of social expectations, where they fail to recognise gender stereotyping, and how that limits their growth and development.
The one thing Enid Blyton would tell you, is that every protagonist needs an antagonist. In the case of our mobile game, our androgynous protagonist, Nugget, has six antagonists who represent the forcefield that circumscribe the lives of adolescents. Users helped us identify and crystallize these antagonists through a human centred design process. Those antagonists who represent various pressure points in an Indian adolescent’s life, have been gamified as Ungly Aunty or Aunty Needle, Tank-jhank Padosi or Nosy Neighbour, Fenku Uncle or Uncle Hyperbole, Show Off Dost or Show Off Pal, Kalesh Bua or Aunt Give-some-grief andChugalkhor Chacha or Unca Snitch. Each character is presented as a stylized arm – one that could crush Nugget – unless the player can help Nugget escape the pressure.
It’s a simple and familiar arcade game that we’ve all played at some stage in our lives. What makes it unique is Nugget’s story about the pressures and the forcefield created by these real and recognisable characters that surround every adolescent.
Nugget is androgynous so that players, irrespective of gender, can identify with the protagonist. The content in the game – both text and audio – is in a conversational blend of Hindi and English that has become lingua franca for urban teens.
Nugget has been developed using a human centred design process. The cast of characters, gameplay, content, have all been designed based on input from users, and everything has been tested with users’ multiple times to ensure the best chance of success.

A plethora of sport leagues have sprung up in India seeking to popularize a sport by repackaging and presenting it in an exciting format. What started off with Cricket and saw major success, has now spread to Kabaddi, hockey, football and wrestling among others.
The latest to join this list is Poker.
Poker Sports League is the brainchild of Mr. Amit Burman, Mr. Anuj Gupta and Mr. Pranav Bagai which was established last year, with a mission to establish poker as a sport in the country. It is India’s first professional poker league, which gives the opportunity to state level teams & all poker lovers to become a part of the league. Poker Sports League at its very core attempts to popularize poker as a sport by putting on display in abundance, a combination of skill, mathematics, decision making and grit which are required in the right mix to emerge as a champion.
With the emergence of massive online poker tournaments and fantasy leagues, the time is ripe for the Poker Sports League to formalize the poker story in India. With over 20,000qualifier participations pan India in the very first year, one can safely infer the potential of poker in the country. PSL in some sense is laying the foundation for an International tournament and has the right ingredients to become a global brand.
In order to draw parallels between chess & poker & set the foundation for poker to be considered a mind game, PSL has also appointed Viswanathan Anand, the chess maestro, as their Brand Ambassador, in November last year. DSPORT, a premium sports TV channel by Discovery Communications India, has acquired the exclusive rights to broadcast Season 2 of the Poker Sports League (PSL), the world’s first franchise based poker league. This will be the first ever broadcast of Texas hold’em poker in India.
Delhi Panthers, owned by Rishi Kajaria of Kajaria Ceramics took home INR 1.5 crore as prize money. The league in the inaugural year became an instant hit. Not just with the players on the table or the passionate franchisees following their teams but also with millions of other poker sports followers. Season One live streaming registered 4.5 million views on FB & PSL Final Table recorded 1.28 million views.
Poker Sports League, undoubtedly is one of the most sought after leagues in the poker industry & is currently in its 2nd season. Brand Ambassador of PSL, Mr. Viswanathan Anand will make his first media appearance along with the co-founders to announce the 12 teams for this season & unveil the winning trophy. Attached herewith, is the media invite for an exclusive Press Conference. Would be great if you could confirm your availability for the event & your interest to catch up for a quick interaction with the team owners, co founders of PSL & the Chess Maestro on April 15th, PlayBoy Club, Hotel Samrat, New Delhi, at 2pm.
