Merchcraft: DIY Design Games

Phone case DIY, with a client waiting for it. In Merchcraft you run a small design studio: local brands send you a brief, you paint the 3D product, add patterns, stickers and their logo, then set up the shoot and take the mockup. A phone case maker at heart, and one of those creative DIY games and design games where you take your time and the details count.

More than a phone case maker
A coffee roaster wants a phone case, a record label a record sleeve, a skate shop a pair of sneakers. There are 15 products to design: phone case, mug, gift box, tote bag, T-shirt, sneaker, water bottle, poster, record sleeve, skateboard, cap, candle jar, earbuds case, tablet case and pencil case.

Real tools, one tap at a time
Fill, brush and spray paint, then mix in two-color gradients and 20 patterns. Apply stickers from a set of 30 plus the client's logo, pick one of 6 finishes from matte to metallic, add art prints on the UV printer (De Stijl, Bauhaus, Art Deco, Memphis and more) and engrave with the laser. Undo is always one tap away.

Fair, clear scoring
Every brief puts your design skills to a test you can read: colors, mood, logo, what to avoid, craft. Live hints show what already works while you paint, and the score card explains every star. No crowd votes and no hidden rules; a bold, colorful design has the same chance as a beige one.

The mockup shoot
Pick one of 8 backdrops (oak desk, marble slab, neon night and more), one of 5 lights and an angle, press the shutter and watch the polaroid land in your portfolio. Hang your favorite shots on the studio wall, or share them from your phone.

A studio that grows
Earn fees and reputation, buy decor, backdrops and lights, and unlock the spray gun, the UV printer and the laser engraver. 12 clients, each with their own taste, send postcards when your work shows up in their shop. Everything you unlock stays yours.

At your own pace
No energy, no timers, no ads while you design or shoot. A free studio with no brief at all, a daily brief, a weekly design challenge and a streak you can pick back up. No purchases in the app: everything is earned by playing. Plays offline, no account needed, in 13 languages.
