Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Voodoo is a verifiable unicorn and a dominant force in the mobile gaming sector (#2 worldwide by downloads). With 300M+ MAU and 6 billion all-time downloads, the project exhibits exceptional audience reach and traction. However, the score is tempered by the nature of 'hyper-casual' gaming (lower technical innovation compared to deep-tech) and the low quality of the specific form responses (e.g., 'everyone', 'most people'), which lacked professional detail despite the company's scale.
