Here is the little story of Papio.

For a while now, we have adopted a playful atmosphere in the office and are playing foosball...intensively. We could never find a board large enough to keep the scores (yeah, we play that much). The struggle was real every time we had to erase it.

Excel sheets were just too painful to fill up, we needed something to enhance our games while tracking them. Now Papio is monitoring the game live with the mobile interface, keeping the scores, updating every player’s stats, giving away bananawards and others banananalysis.

What started as a side project, became our obsession. Papio grew stronger, smarter and funnier every week until he became the most appreciated teammate at the office.

Right now, Papio is only tracking foosball game. The demand will guide its evolution, so please tell us how it could be best adapted to your work&play culture!

A note: trying to apply strategies from the How-to-Game-Product-Hunt handbook will not work on Hacker News. On HN, content should speak for itself.

You're right. Probably got too excited to be posted on HN.
