Meet the Salvadoran Monopoly, the hottest game app of the country
By Portal & Asociados
The game was created as a board game in 2010 by graphic designer student Carlos Rivas, who in 2012 met video gamer designer Nelson Chicas. Together they quickly developed a digital version of the game after winning an app contest organized by the Salvadoran Foundation for Economic and Social Development (Fusades).
Since then, Guanapolio has reached 300,000 downloads worldwide and is one of the most downloaded apps in El Salvador. A platform based game easy to reskin, Rivas and Chicas highlight its dynamic gameplay generation and social integration as the two key features for its popularity.
In order to support the game’s expansion in Latin America and carry out similar projects in the future, both of them have founded Kadevjo Studios, an innovation partner that helps develop creative digital solutions. With that goal in mind, the Salvadorans innovators are currently negotiating with companies in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras.
