HutHut is a real-time football prediction game that transforms passive viewing into an engaging, competitive experience. Designed for both casual fans and fantasy diehards, the app lets users predict what happens next—drive by drive—on any live NFL game. The HutHut team partnered with Chop Dawg to create a mobile-first experience built around speed, live data, and community. With game flow synchronized to actual NFL drives and outcomes tracked in real-time, HutHut turns every football moment into a chance to win, compete, and celebrate with friends.
Fantasy sports and stat-heavy apps dominate the space—but HutHut set out to build something different. The vision: a mobile experience that gives fans a way to predict every NFL drive in real time, turning game day into competitive, social gameplay.
But before a single line of backend code could be written, the HutHut team needed a clear, clickable experience that could showcase this idea to investors, partners, and users. Chop Dawg stepped in to design and deliver a non-functional prototype (a NFP) that mimicked live prediction flows, real-time scoring, and NFL syncing logic—without needing a connected API or backend infrastructure. The result is a sleek, pitch-ready mobile NFP that brings the HutHut concept to life in seconds.
The challenge wasn’t just visual—it was strategic. The prototype had to simulate the intensity of real-time predictions while showing exactly how the app would behave during live NFL games. Every screen, every transition, every scoring interaction had to feel believable—without actually being live. HutHut also needed multiple user states (like pre-game vs. mid-game), flexible prediction inputs, and live-looking feedback. It had to show users earning points, climbing the leaderboard, and switching between games—all within the safe, no-risk environment of a clickable prototype. Chop Dawg worked hand-in-hand with the HutHut team to build a system that felt live even though it wasn’t yet coded—giving the team something they could confidently share with investors, advertisers, test users, and advisors.
Simulating a Real-Time Sports App That Fans Would Love
Chop Dawg collaborated closely with the HutHut team to map out every core interaction—how users would predict drives, see game outcomes, earn points, and compete with friends. Using Figma and a fully designed non-functional prototype environment, we created every screen, button, and animation needed to simulate the real experience.
Slack channels, Zoom calls, and ongoing Figma feedback loops allowed us to iterate quickly and test design choices in real time. Our goal was to give HutHut a tool that looked, felt, and functioned like the real app—without requiring backend development or live data syncing. Together, we delivered a product-ready NFP that brought the game-day concept to life—and gave the HutHut team everything they needed to move toward development and investment.
From interactive predictions to point-based competition, the HutHut prototype visualized every key user experience.
The prototype lets users simulate predicting a drive outcome—touchdown, field goal, turnover, or punt—and see how the result affects points earned. Every tap flows into the next logical state, demonstrating seamless gameplay logic.
Our design includes user profiles, points, and a weekly leaderboard flow. The layout mimics how scores would update during live games—creating competition and urgency that drives retention.
The prototype simulates how users would switch between live NFL games and select different matchups in real time—demonstrating how the interface would support nationwide usage on any game day.
The non-functional prototype was built with strategic admin views to support long-term development and team validation.
We built in logic to demonstrate how admins would control user states—pre-prediction, post-drive, and mid-game—allowing the HutHut team to simulate real scoring logic for stakeholders and advisors.
The prototype includes a simulated live game data module to represent syncing with an NFL feed. This helped visualize how live scores, game clocks, and drive status would appear in a real version of the app.
We outlined how moderators and admins would handle leaderboard disputes, user reports, and flagging—giving the HutHut team a scalable vision for community management and oversight.
Chop Dawg didn’t just design screens—we helped the HutHut team plan the strategy, simulate the live experience, and prepare for what comes next.
We worked closely to identify the most essential user flows for launch—prediction gameplay, scoring visibility, and user competition—ensuring the prototype communicated the strongest value pro
Every screen was crafted to visually tell the story of what HutHut would become. The prototype includes dynamic flows, mock content, and touch animations to help investors and partners experience the vision firsthand.
All design assets were delivered with organized naming, mobile responsiveness, and state documentation—ready for any development team to begin building without ambiguity.
From kickoff to final screens, our process with the HutHut team was driven by trust, clarity, and efficiency. We iterated through Figma, shared weekly check-ins via Zoom, and gave live feedback as the clickable prototype took shape. Together, we brought a bold game-day concept into an elegant, investment-ready simulation—positioning HutHut to validate, pitch, and plan their next phase with total confidence.
The prototype mirrors what real users will experience—delivering a clear, guided walk-through of HutHut’s future product.
With no backend required, the NFP helped HutHut rapidly test user flows, gather feedback, and excite investors.
All designs and flows are ready for development—structured, named, and documented for a clean dev transition.
Chop Dawg developed our sports gaming platform and delivered an outstanding product—on time and on budget. I chose to work with them because of their strong track record, stellar client ratings, great cultural fit, and a flexible fixed payment plan that aligned perfectly with our monthly budget. What truly stood out was their can-do attitude—it wasn’t just talk, it showed up in real results.
