If you are a FB game developer, or are at least interested in it, you should come to the meetup tomorrow night at BootHK at 8pm (October 20th).

If you don’t have time, at least check out the details of the contest.

Quick summary:

Develop a Jewelry related game that helps to both build MaBelle’s brand while helping customers to know more about jewelry. There needs to be some element that allows for linking the game to some sort of end sales, perhaps by unlocking custom pieces that are otherwise unavailable for purchase, or by allowing the customer to become a mini-retailer.

The top winning entries will win a part of the total prize money, currently set at HKD $40,000 per 10 runners ups, and HKD $100,000 for the finalist. The finalist will also potentially get a contract for developing the final game as well. 

The end product must have Traditional Chinese available, but developers of any background are welcome to participate.

Since the goal is to have the developer available to work together with MaBelle on the final version, the contest is limited to those that have the ability (and will) to come to meet in HK regularly.
