Merge mechanics
The addictive principle behind casual hits like 2048 and Suika: combine matching elements, climb level by level. Instantly understood, hard to put down — the perfect carrier mechanic for repeated app contact.
Open beta running now — reported bugs are fixed continuously
Build your party. Win your voters.
Merge Party combines addictive merge mechanics with political strategy. Build structures, produce campaign material, deliver to voters — and grow region by region across the map until the virtual election is won. Fully customisable, licensed exclusively per country.
Beta note: game content and balancing are still being tuned. Several planned features (real-time avatar battles, multiplayer, clans, chat — see roadmap) are not yet implemented. Save states persist across updates; individual mechanic tweaks may have an effect.
Web beta playable now at app.mergeparty.wienold-it.de — Android and iOS builds to follow.
- Fully brandable
- Exclusive per country
- Android, iOS & Web

Concept
Three mechanics, one goal: a political majority
Political strategy
The merge stages translate into party structures: activists produce campaign material, material is delivered to voter tiers — from sympathiser to loyal voter. Every action is a mini-campaign.
National map & elections
Region by region is conquered — convince enough voters and you win the virtual state or national election. Visible progress on a map everyone knows: your own country, coloured in your party's colours.
Impact on the user
Why merge mechanics work politically
Active brand bonding instead of passive consumption
Posters are seen — a merge app is played. The user repeatedly experiences their party as growing, succeeding, rising. That self-effected experience builds an emotional bond no campaign spot can reach.
Engagement loop with system
Merge games are notoriously hard to put down. Generators keep producing in the background, voter tiers want to be served — players come back several times a day. Every session is brand contact.
Visible progress on the map
Coloured regions, rising voter counts, virtual seats — your party's progress is tangible. Moments of success bond to the brand and are happily shared.
Campaigns straight to the smartphone
Push notifications remind of election dates, announce top candidates, deliver regional messages. Content can be updated on short notice — especially in the weeks before a vote.
Low barrier as a multiplier
Free, no signup, immediately playable. The threshold to install is minimal. At the same time, the entertainment value drives session lengths far above what classic party apps achieve.
Fully in party branding
Logos, colours, activist avatars, campaign posters, top candidates, background music, election dates, copy — everything is replaceable. Per country, per region, per campaign.

One party per country. Full rights. Full control.
Merge Party is licensed to exactly one party per country. On contract signing, the rights to that country version pass entirely to the buyer — the version is no longer offered in that country and is unavailable to any competitor.
Discuss the concept
Initial conversation about goals, the campaign, regional priorities and branding ideas. Access to the password-protected web demo on request via info@wienold-it.de.
Agree on the branding
Logos, colours, activist designs, campaign artwork, music, top candidates, election dates, languages, regional segmentation — all defined together with the party.
Launch & rights transfer
The finished version ships in Google Play and the Apple App Store under the party's account. Source code, brand rights and distribution rights for the country belong fully to the buyer.
Status & roadmap
Current development status
Merge Party is in open beta — all core mechanics are live; balancing and content keep getting iterated. The next stages:
Open beta
Web app playable at app.mergeparty.wienold-it.de. Continuous updates, reported bugs are fixed as they come in. Save state persists across updates.
Feature rollout
Step-by-step activation of the remaining features (see roadmap): multiplayer, real-time avatar battles, clans, chat. Mobile builds for Android and iOS to follow.
Sales-ready
Stable production version. Country versions configured individually on request (branding, localisation) and shipped to Google Play and the Apple App Store under the party's account.
For admins & gamemasters
A dedicated admin interface with live insights and intervention rights
The player app ships alongside a full admin and gamemaster tool — web app and native Android app, both with the same role-based login. Inspect player accounts, trace save states, adjust resources surgically, and audit every action end to end.

What comes after the beta
The open beta covers the full single-player experience. The following features are on the roadmap for the upcoming iterations and will ship in stages:
Real-time avatar battles
Campaign duels between players: avatars compete head-to-head, winning matches grants approval boosts and exclusive trophies.
Multiplayer mode
Async or live: settle regions together, share orders, open chest drops jointly. Visible online list of your crew.
Clans & alliances
Federations with their own crests, member rosters and clan buildings. Clan campaigns over regions, clan-only leaderboards.
Chat
Global channel per region, clan chat and direct messages. Moderation filters and report function to keep conversations respectful.
Leaderboards
Global ranks + per region + per clan. Weekly and seasonal scoring, rewards for top placements.
Campaign-season events
Time-limited events around real election dates: special orders, exclusive collectibles, season trophies, themed map branding.
Push notifications
Chest ready, voter waiting, daily tasks before midnight: configurable nudges that bring the player back — without annoying them.
Poster editor
Players design their own campaign artwork in an in-app editor — templates, logos, slogans. Best designs get curated into season events.
