Dice Dreams™ is a casual mobile game in which players roll dice to earn coins and build their own kingdoms. The game blends strategy and luck as players expand their kingdoms by upgrading buildings, completing missions, and raiding other players. As players advance through levels, they unlock new territories, face tougher challenges, and earn exciting rewards.
Dice Dreams™ combines board game elements with city-building mechanics.
Players rebuild and upgrade kingdoms, each with unique themes and stages, by constructing and enhancing buildings using coins.
The core mechanic involves rolling a six-sided die (D6) that triggers actions like earning coins, attacking, defending, and gaining special rewards such as jackpots and free rolls.
In Dice Dreams™, the in-game currency primarily consists of gold coins, which players use to build and upgrade their kingdoms.
Interactive gameplay allows players to steal resources, such as coins, from others. Players can choose a target building in another player's kingdom and use a slingshot to launch their character at it, causing damage and taking away valuable resources.
Players can defend against attacks by rolling dice to store up to three shields, protecting their kingdoms from raids.
Dice Dreams™️ includes a strong social integration system that allows players to invite friends through a unique link shared on social media or private messages.
Players can connect their Facebook accounts to see which friends are playing. This integration facilitates easier interactions and competition among friends.

6. Dragon Pack
The Dragon Pack provides players with a valuable boost by offering 180 rolls and attack cards. This enhancement improves their ability to progress quickly in the game Dice Dreams™.

Priced at ₹480, the Tasty Pack is positioned as a more affordable option after the Magical Pack, which is priced at ₹690. Also, the pricing strategy makes the second offer more appealing to users who may have hesitated to spend more on the higher-priced item.
A countdown timer (00:04:51) creates urgency, motivating players to quickly seize the discounted offer. This tactic plays on the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO), encouraging immediate purchasing decisions to ensure they don’t miss out before the opportunity ends.

In-game currency

Other coin acquisition methods are through the attack and steal effects. Successfully attacking another player's structure or stealing from their stash based on the dice roll results boosts coin earnings, without depleting one's own roll reserves.

2. Rolls

The "Best Value" tag on the highest tier and the "Most Popular" tag on the mid-tier option guide users towards choices that might offer them more benefits or are favored by others.
3. First Timer Special
The "First Timer Special," deal is designed to attract new players to make their first purchase by providing them with an appealing deal.

The countdown timer adds urgency to the promotion and encourages players to make a purchase decision quickly, leveraging a strategic marketing technique to boost sales.
1. Halloween Mission
The "Halloween Mission" in "Dice Dreams™” is a thematic LiveOps event during which players are required to roll dice and aim to hit a Halloween-themed symbol depicted on the dice. The frequency with which players hit this symbol directly impacts their progress within the event.
Points are awarded based on how often the symbol is hit: 10 points for hitting it once, 20 points for hitting it twice in a single roll, and 40 points for hitting it three times.
The ultimate goal for players is to accumulate enough points to reach a final prize threshold, which is set at 25,000 dice for this event.
The event allows players to "bet higher for more," implying that increasing their stake could lead to larger rewards.
2. Building Craze

Dice Dreams™ sends notifications 1 to 2 times each day with the intent to prompt users to act quickly and capitalize on their immediate attention to boost interaction rates.
Notifications leverage an incremental reward system that encourages daily logins, ensures users regularly interact with the game to claim their rewards, and thus keeps engagement levels high.
“Finish Your Building!” focuses on the near completion of tasks, encourages players to complete pending activities, and guides players back to the game, aiming to increase session lengths and ensure ongoing participation.
The game fosters a sense of community and interdependence by alerting players to events within their network.
Messages with a direct call to action urge players to defend their territory. This stimulates immediate engagement and creates a loop where players frequently check in to secure their in-game progress.
Notifications like “OH NO THEY DIDN'T! Revenge now!” tap into players' emotional responses to in-game events, specifically targeting the natural desire for retribution which can increase the app's session time as players react to provocations.
Introducing unexpected elements, or dramatic updates about other players, keeps the gameplay experience unpredictable and often leads players to explore the game more thoroughly in anticipation of new surprises.
