Defqon.1, in collaboration with Hike One, revolutionized their festival experience by transforming their app into a year-round engagement tool. Q-dance, the organizer of Defqon.1, wanted to keep their ‘Warriors’ (festival attendees) engaged throughout the year. Hike One’s digital product design, UX design, and mobile app development expertise were put to the test to deliver a solution that would not only serve as a practical tool during the festival but also foster strong engagement with the Warriors year-round.
The redesigned Defqon.1 app became a year-round platform for the hardstyle community, featuring gamification for the loyalty system, enhanced festival experience, and community features. The app perfectly captured the unique character of Defqon.1 and the needs of its Warriors, significantly boosting customer engagement and loyalty. The successful collaboration between Defqon.1 and Hike One demonstrates the power of close collaboration, quick decision making, and user-focused design.
