MonsterMail

Project Description

MonsterMail empowers users to turn the persistent task of deleting unwanted emails into a fun and rewarding experience. Our core problem was that users are “frustrated” with the persistent amount of emails they have to attend to. We decided to focus on this element, and transform it into a fun way with a welcoming interface and gamified experience.

Problem

We found existing email clients to look and function largely similar, displaying a long overwhelming list of emails. Email users are frustrated by this, so why not make this daily chore more fun?

Insights

We found via the email clients we researched, and users we interviewed, that deleting unwanted emails was an unpleasant chore. Currently, many email users choose to simply ignore unwanted emails altogether, as they pile up over time and take up valuable storage space. Additionally, the onslaught of email creates clutter - an infinite log of old emails, distracting the user from the current task at hand. We needed a way to help reduce the constant email clutter in a way that’s fun and engaging for users.

Solutions

Enter, MonsterMail, a fun and rewarding way to manage and delete unwanted emails in a gamified way. MonsterMail implements a welcoming, “cozy” interface with soft gradients and airy space. Plus, customizable themes and settings for a personalized look and feel. Users are aided in deleting emails with the help of a monster, which helps identify old emails that are ready to be “eaten” and deleted. The user completes quick daily “Quests” to feed, grow and evolve their email monster over time. MonsterMail makes deleting unwanted emails more fun and easier for all, so you spend less time in your inbox and more time in your day.
