The story
The album worked on a phone, and the next one moved to the web.
A native iOS and Android app built to test whether Luxor's paper sticker album works as a digital product, with scanning, trading and rewards.
Worth noting
Luxor has published sticker albums for decades and wanted to know whether the experience survives the move to a phone, with the mechanics intact: collecting, gifts, trading, notifications. The brief was a product in the app stores, tested with a real album and a real audience, rather than a prototype.
The app worked as a product. Once the model was proven, we and the client judged that the next album would reach more people on the web, with no app store in the way and scanning from any phone's browser. That decision became Indigo Luxor, where all the publisher's albums now live. Basket Fan stays in the portfolio as a native product we delivered end to end.
A collector scans a sticker to add it to the collection, scans the album to register it, and scans a gift to open it. The album fills page by page, with 3D reveal moments when a sticker lands. A have and don't-have view shows what a collector is missing and what they can trade, and in-app messages carry the trades. A rewards screen handles prize-draw winners. The publisher manages albums, the sticker catalog, users and album copies from an admin dashboard.
What it covers
Native iOS and Android app, sticker, album and gift scanning, 3D reveal scenes, have and don't-have trading view, in-app messages, rewards, admin dashboard.
The brief asked for a full product, so we built one. The backend was structured for a long life from the first day. The app got a brand of its own, with custom typography and 3D scenes, because collecting deserves more than a list of cards. After launch, with the model proven, reach mattered more than platform feel, and we and the client chose the web for the next album.
