🏏 BAT RIOT — What if cricket became the ultimate night out?

SWING LOUD. STAY LATE.

For the #Base44Challenge, I wanted to build something that went beyond a beautiful landing page.

The idea was simple: take the energy of cricket, combine it with nightlife, and turn it into a complete digital experience.

Meet BAT RIOT, a Melbourne-inspired social-cricket entertainment platform where competitive games, great food, music, and unforgettable nights come together.

But I didn't want it to just look good. I wanted it to actually work.

Using @Base44, I built an interactive booking experience where visitors can explore venues, check bay availability, select a session, and make reservations.

I also built Party Captain, a group coordination experience for invitations, RSVPs, and guest preferences.

Behind the scenes, there's a staff command centre for managing bookings, scores, and waitlists. The waitlist recovery workflow can automatically generate time-limited offers when a session becomes available, helping reduce manual coordination and recover booking opportunities.

And because the visual experience mattered just as much, I went a step further.

Instead of relying on generic stock footage, I used Google Flow to create custom cinematic scenes—from cricket action and celebrations to venue reveals and food shots. I then edited and optimized the footage to bring the BAT RIOT identity to life across the website.

The goal was to connect design, functionality, automation, and storytelling into one cohesive experience.

This project pushed me to think beyond individual pages and build something that feels like a real product.

And that's what I'm most excited to share.

Meet NUTINCHESS. A Chess Experience Built for Play, Learning, and Competition

NUTINCHESS is my entry for the Base44 Challenge.

I built NUTINCHESS to bring chess gameplay, learning, and competition together in one platform. Instead of focusing on just playing chess, I wanted to create an experience where players can challenge themselves, learn new strategies, compete with others, and track their progress.

What I built

Play Chess

Players can challenge AI opponents or play against other people online. The multiplayer experience includes worldwide matchmaking and private rooms, where players can generate a room code and share it with a friend to join their game.

In-Game Chat

Players can chat with their opponents during a game, making matches more interactive and giving them a way to communicate while playing.

Learn Chess

The learning hub includes daily puzzles, step-by-step chess lessons, an opening library, endgame practice, game analysis, and chess tips to help players improve their skills.

Player Profiles and Progress

Players can create profiles, track their ratings, review match history, monitor puzzle streaks, and unlock achievements as they progress.

Tournaments

NUTINCHESS also includes a tournament section for organizing competitive chess experiences.

The goal

I wanted to create something that goes beyond a chessboard: a platform that brings playing, learning, and player progression into one cohesive experience.

From the dark interface and warm bronze details to the chess-inspired visuals, I designed the experience around a premium, competitive identity.

Built with Base44

NUTINCHESS was built and published using Base44.

This is my submission for the #Base44Challenge.

NUTINCHESS looks awesome! Love the idea of combining gameplay + learning + competition all in one — chess platforms usually only do one part well. The UI in the video looks really clean too. Great build for the challenge, best of luck!
