Overplay turns your videos into mobile video games even without any coding knowledge

A company called Overplay recently had the opportunity to find a Shark Tank investor willing to join others who have funded the company. The company will turn your video into a game using AI. The process is simple. Record a video on your smartphone then upload the video to the Overplay platform. Overplay then turns the video into a mobile game with no coding required. Yes, without knowing a little coding, you can create a mobile game to share with friends. You can even try games created by other Overplay users.

With Overplay, a video I took of birds in flight became a mobile game

Over a million games have been played on Overplay and over 150,000 alpha app downloads have been recorded. Perhaps it wasn't a surprise, but the most tech-savvy Shark, Mark Cuban, was the only bidder for the company and agreed to invest $500,000 for 4% equity. Cuban will also receive $500,000 for content creation and promotion.

Overplay will turn a video into a mobile game with no coding experience required

I installed the Overplay app and turned a video I took a few weeks ago of birds flying near my house into a video game. The aim of the game was to hit the bird in flight and points were awarded for each hit. And my coding knowledge is practically zero.

While Overplay could turn those who passively watch videos into gamers, we could see the platform used by advertisers to promote their brand and products by turning a simple video into a fun video game. This could be the best use of the platform, as an addictive mobile game would be an easy way to keep a brand in consumers' minds.
