I am looking for an experienced Flutter developer (or small team) to build an MVP of a real-time online Ugandan Matatu card game. The goal is to validate player engagement, competition-based gameplay, and scalable multiplayer—not to build the final product. The app should include Firebase Authentication (phone OTP), player profiles, real-time matchmaking, practice mode, timed competitions (10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, daily), configurable scoring, live leaderboards, rankings, achievements, push notifications, and an admin panel to manage competitions, users, deposits, and statistics. The backend should use Firebase (Firestore, Cloud Functions, FCM), while the developer recommends the best real-time game server architecture. Gameplay must support reconnects, anti-cheat measures, configurable game rules, and stable multiplayer capable of handling at least 500 concurrent players. The MVP will also include a virtual wallet with Swipe Coins. Players will manually deposit via MTN/Airtel Merchant codes, submit transaction details, and an admin will approve or reject deposits, automatically updating wallet balances. Deliverables include complete Flutter source code, Firebase backend, Firestore rules, Cloud Functions, admin panel, Android APK/AAB, deployment guide, documentation, and clean, modular, production-ready code.

Interesting project, Hi, I will build your Matatu card game MVP in Flutter with Firebase: phone OTP auth, real-time matchmaking, timed competitions (10 min to daily), live leaderboards, and the Swipe Coins wallet with manual MTN/Airtel deposit approval. On a similar multiplayer game build, using Firestore listeners paired with a lightweight real-time server kept latency low enough for 500+ concurrent players without overcomplicating the architecture. Questions: 1) Do you have the full Matatu card game rules documented, or will we need a rules definition phase first? 2) Should the admin panel be web based (Flutter Web) or a simple dashboard outside Flutter? Share your game rules doc and I will map out the Firestore data model this week. Ready to start whenever you are. Kamran

Hi. To build this MVP cleanly, I’d structure the game around Flutter, Firebase Auth, Firestore, Cloud Functions, and FCM, with a dedicated real-time layer for matchmaking, reconnects, and competition state.
