Perhaps you do a good deed on a daily basis, but you've never really been rewarded for it; with Favortree, however, you can now do those good deeds and receive them in return. Favortree is a mobile game that encourages you to connect and help out your neighbors and friends by performing favors.
Favortree was created by Micki Krimmel and Daniel Hengeveld, and offers consumers a fun way to do something nice for someone else. Every time you perform a favor, you win more "virtual fruit" that will grow on your fruit tree, and the more fruit you grow, the more favors you can get for yourself.
According to Krimmel, the marketplace needs a space where local consumers can connect with one another, and that's where Favortree comes in. The mobile game allows people to help one another and build trust among those living in the same community.
