Context

Azarus turned passive livestream viewers into active participants through interactive overlays, rewards, and real-time engagement systems.

Problem

Designing engagement systems for live audiences introduces unique constraints:

  • Extremely short attention spans
  • Real-time participation
  • Balancing fun vs interruption
  • Supporting brands, streamers, and viewers simultaneously

Play while watching

Turning passive livestream viewing into active participation through real-time games and interactions.

Viewers interacted directly inside livestreams through Twitch overlays and browser extensions, participating in trivia and mini-games without leaving the stream.

The experience was designed for instant interaction, fast feedback, and low-friction participation during live content.

Rewards & utility

Participation earned Azarus Coins, which users could later spend in the Azarus Store on digital rewards, gift cards, and gaming items.

This created a continuous engagement loop extending beyond individual streams.

Ecosystem & infrastructure

The platform required designing across multiple connected surfaces:

  • Viewer interactions
  • Streamer experiences
  • Branded campaigns

All systems had to operate reliably during large-scale live events and participation spikes.
