Benchmark 1: Product Value & User Need

The proposal clearly identifies the target audience as casual mobile gamers ages 8–45, with a focus on quick, entertaining play sessions. The problem/opportunity is described as meeting demand for simple, skill-based, easy-to-learn games with broad age appeal. User benefits include short session gameplay, family-friendly content, colorful visuals, and simple controls. Evidence of demand is cited through recent app store trends and the ongoing success of similar casual games. Kid-friendly and accessibility considerations are mentioned via family-friendly content and simple controls.

Benchmark 2: Technical Feasibility & Platform Compatibility

The proposal states that Crossy Quest would be built in Unity and deployed to iOS, Android, Windows, and web browsers from a shared code base. It notes that the mechanics are straightforward and rely on technology familiar to the engineering team, and that online leaderboards would use existing, already-approved cloud services. It also clarifies that no advanced AI, high-end graphics hardware, or proprietary tech is required. However, there is no explicit discussion of security/privacy architecture, performance/scalability targets, or integration points beyond leaderboards.

MISSING: Security, performance, and integration details

More detail is needed on how user data will be secured, how leaderboard and event systems will scale under load, and whether any additional third-party services (analytics, ads, payments) will be integrated.

Benchmark 3: User Experience & Safety

The proposal describes a family-safe experience with no violence, mature content, gambling, or chat features. It calls out large touch controls, clear instructions, colorblind-friendly options, and parental controls. Age-appropriateness is addressed (suitable for ages 8+), and privacy is partially addressed by limiting personal information to what is needed for leaderboards and noting compliance with child privacy requirements. Overall, it presents a thoughtful UX and safety baseline for a casual mobile title.

Benchmark 4: Business & Operational Feasibility

This benchmark is only partially addressed. While the proposal outlines high-level revenue opportunities (cosmetics, season passes, ads) and alignment with company strategy, it does not discuss the development effort, required team roles, ongoing maintenance needs, operational support, infrastructure/hosting costs, or third-party licensing.

MISSING: Development effort and operational plan

Details are needed on estimated scope and timeline, team composition, maintenance expectations (content updates, live ops), support requirements, hosting and tooling costs, and any third-party tools or IP that would require licenses.

Benchmark 5: Market Opportunity & Strategic Fit

The proposal highlights that the casual gaming market is strong, referencing successful simple, skill-based games and sustained engagement via cosmetic unlocks. Crossy Quest would differentiate with cooperative challenges, seasonal events, and educational environmental levels, and it aligns with the company goal of growing consumer-facing mobile offerings and recurring digital revenue. Monetization angles are identified but could benefit from more depth on pricing, projected adoption, and revenue scale.
