At Sciflare: A Game of Cricket or A Quest for Perfection?  

Our Independence Day celebrations extended with a thrilling match of cricket after work. Yes, if you have been following us through the past editions, you know we take our work very seriously, be it playing a game, developing, a game app, or both. We leave no stone unturned.  

So, a friendly competition cricket match between internal teams at Sciflare transformed into an opportunity to identify potential flaws and loopholes in our Score Craze application before launch.  

Our team enjoyed the game, as they revelled in the findings they sought when the game progressed. Super-charged with the infectious energy of the game, and the exact areas in the app where improvements were needed, we came back to make Score Craze the perfect companion for all your games. Keep scores with digital accuracy even when you are playing gully cricket, or organizing tournaments at schools, committees, clubs, colleges, and more. 

And remember, it was built by a team that hit it out of the park with each delivery (on and off the field).
