Laksa Festival

More Than a Festival, An Interactive Laksa Lovers Journey

As a brand new festival, the Laksa Festival needed a way to engage attendees, promote participating restaurants and give people a simple way to vote for their favourite dish – crowning the Laksa Festival winner for the year.

There was no central platform to bring everything together, making it difficult to create a fun, interactive experience that encouraged people to explore and participate. We developed the Laksa Festival app to solve this – creating an engaging platform where users could discover restaurants, vote for their favourite laksa and take part in the event. As the festival grew each year, we continued to evolve the app, introducing new features such as gamification, levels, dish logs and promotions.

Festival Categories

Festival Categories

The app was designed to make it easy for users to explore and take part in the festival, easily finding restaurants and dishes across the two festival competition laksa categories – Laksa and Inspired By Laksa, allowing users to cast one vote in each category.

The app provides detailed information on participating restaurants and their dishes, making it simple for users to discover what’s on offer and where to find it – including their opening hours based on the users current time zone. With built-in directions, users can easily navigate to each location, helping them plan their journey and experience more of the month-long festival.

Dish & Restaurant Management

Dish & Restaurant Management

Powered by a custom web dashboard that allows organisers to manage all app content in real time, without needing app store updates. From updating dish information and photos to managing restaurant details, locations and opening or closing times, everything can be adjusted instantly.

This gives the event team full flexibility to respond to last-minute changes during the festival without needing to release app updates – ensuring users always see the most accurate, up-to-date information throughout the event.

Complex Voting

Complex Voting

The structured voting system was designed to ensure fairness and flexibility. Users can cast one vote per category, with the ability to update their choices at any time up until midnight the night before judging. This allows participants to explore more dishes and make informed decisions throughout the 4 week festival.

All votes are captured in real time within the web dashboard, providing organisers with detailed reporting and a live, behind-the-scenes leaderboard.

Laksa Legends

Laksa Legends

Throughout the month-long festival, users can rate each laksa they try and save dish details to help guide their final vote. Every rating contributes to a personalised score and leaderboard, allowing users to track their favourites and compare their experiences.

To make the journey more engaging, the app introduces gamification – with users progressing through laksa levels as they explore more dishes, unlocking achievements and earning prizes along the way. This turns the festival into an interactive experience, encouraging users to try more, engage more and fully immerse themselves in the competition which leads to prizes.
