Social Quantum - Overview

Overview

Social Quantum, a premier mobile game developer, has been at the forefront of creating engaging mobile gaming experiences with popular titles like Wild West: New Frontier and Megapolis. With a commitment to providing exceptional player support, the company faced the challenge of modernizing their support system to enhance user retention and minimize player churn. This case study outlines Social Quantum’s journey with Helpshift to revolutionize their player support, thereby increasing their app store rating to a stellar 4.7 with over 1.5 million ratings and significantly improving player lifetime value (LTV) and retention.

The Challenge

As Social Quantum’s gaming portfolio grew, the company grappled with an outdated, in-house email ticketing system that was not only resource-intensive but also detracted from the gaming experience by directing players to external platforms for support. With a volume of 20,000 tickets per month across 12 languages, the system was inefficient and unable to scale with the company’s growth. The lack of a sophisticated in-app support tool impeded their ability to deliver a seamless support experience and gather actionable customer feedback, which was crucial for game development and user retention.
