Welcome to ScoreRush: Pooky's Exciting New Chapter

Today marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter as we transition our brand to better reflect our evolution into the ultimate football prediction game for fans globally. Welcome to ScoreRush!

While our game name changes, our core passion and dedication are only intensifying. We're still the same game you know and love, but with a new name that resonates more closely with our community and the experience we aim to provide.

Time for Some Updates

As we gear up for the launch of our first-ever mobile app, we're rolling out some thrilling updates to the gameplay. These changes are designed to ensure a clear distinction between the old and the new, enhancing your experience without any blurred lines.

What’s Changing? What’s Not?

Our commitment to football and fostering a community-centred prediction game remains at the heart of what we do. What is evolving is how we present our game to new and existing players. While Pooky and our beloved Pookyballs have been central to our game, they weren't always immediately intuitive to newcomers, often requiring extensive explanation.

Enter ScoreRush. Our new name aligns seamlessly with the essence of sports, making the game's purpose clear from the get-go:

  • Score: At the heart of ScoreRush is the skill of predictions—forecast scores, accumulate points, and win exciting rewards.
  • Rush: This reflects the adrenaline and emotional connection we all share with football. ScoreRush brings fans closer to the action, igniting passion for every match, regardless of the team.

What about Pooky?

Fear not, Pooky enthusiasts! The current Pooky Pro Leagues will continue on (Pooky.gg/app) until the official launch of ScoreRush Pro in August. This transition period gives you ample time to enjoy the game, level up, and enhance the value of your assets before moving to the new platform. More details about this transition can be found here.

With the impending launch on app stores, ScoreRush will introduce several new features, phasing out Pookyballs in favour of more sports-relevant concepts like League Passes.

All-New Website and Socials

We're excited to announce that the new ScoreRush website is now live! You can check it out here: https://www.scorerush.game

Our social media channels have also been updated to "@ScoreRushGame" (and @scorerush.game on Instagram) across platforms, ensuring we maintain our connection with our existing audience while welcoming new players. Make sure to follow our updated accounts*: https://play.scorerush.game/m/community

Second of all, try out our Free-to-play version to get a sneak peek at some of the exciting new features we're developing for ScoreRush, including:

  • League Passes: Choose and play in your favourite leagues with our new mechanic.
  • New Prediction Mechanics and Leaderboards: Engage in daily, monthly, and seasonal competitions.
  • Rivals: Create private or public leaderboards to foster friendly rivalries.
  • Rewards: Earn in-game COINS to gain an edge over the competition. Additionally, a limited amount of ScoreRush Dollars (SRD), aka CASH, will be introduced that can be won and spent in the Pro version of ScoreRush, coming August 2024.
  • Boosters: Use the all-new match-level boosts to increase potential points.
  • Team Stickers: Collect and utilise Team stickers from your favourite leagues to enhance gameplay.

These are the building blocks for the upcoming ScoreRush Pro launching in August 2024, as we have reserved some of the best new features for Pro players only. This is just to give you a taste of what’s to come.

As always, we love feedback, so please keep that coming, whether on our socials, via our community over on Discord, we always read and consider player feedback!

Now, let’s get back to it 👊
