About the project:
KAT KAFE is a cozy tap-to-earn restaurant management game living right inside Telegram — no download required, no barrier to entry. It was born with a simple, wholesome mission: bring a little slice of coziness to office workers everywhere, so anyone with a phone and five minutes to spare could escape into something warm and fun. And it worked — peaking at 350,000 users and 10,000 people playing at the same time.
Objectives:
- Create a cozy, accessible game that office workers can pick up and play anytime, anywhere — all through Telegram, no app store needed
- Build a tap-to-earn loop that feels satisfying and rewarding without being overwhelming or pay-to-win
- Grow a community of players who come back not just for the rewards, but because it genuinely brings them joy
Our approach:
- When we started, Telegram game development was barely documented. So we did what any scrappy team would do — we reverse engineered everything. We studied existing products, broke things apart, and figured it out piece by piece
- From zero documentation to a fully running MVP in about 2 months. That timeline only worked because the whole team was heads down, deeply curious, and a little bit stubborn about making it work
- The cozy café aesthetic — the soft colors, the cheerful UI, the satisfying tap-tap-earn loop — was crafted deliberately to feel like a tiny mental vacation in the middle of a busy workday
Results:
- A Telegram game that resonated deeply, hitting a peak of 350,000 users and 10,000 concurrent players at its height
- Proof that a small, focused team can build something big when they care about what they're making
- A product that brought a little coziness to people's daily routines — which was the whole point from day one
