Understanding and keeping up-to-date with the 2016 presidential elections is a priority for many consumers, however understanding all the politics and logistics behind them can be an unfamiliar area to explore. The Dabateball app offers a user friendly approach by turning the debates into a gamified virtual round of baseball. The platform cleverly combines two popular American pass times into one.
The Debateball app allows consumers to set up and play virtual rounds of baseball using candidate figures as the all-star players. Each player can be placed accordingly into different positions and used as a roster to play against other app users. The app includes figures such as Chris Christie, Donald Trump and Jeb Bush that are presented as bobblehead players suited up for the game.
