Our August Community Challenge invited people to share creative or useful Anaplan models they've built, and WOW — the Community delivered! We recently hosted an event to walk through a few of the unique and fun model builds — a recording is available below.

Tune in to see four fun model builds:

  • Kirill Kuznetsov (@KirillKuznetsov), Anaplan Solution Architect from Planingo, kicks things off with a demonstration of his incredible game of Battleship he built in Anaplan
  • Seyma Tas (@seymatas1), Anaplan Product Owner from Caliber Collision, dives into how she built the classic Rock, Paper, Scissors
  • Murat Akkas (@muratakkas), Solution Architect from Wipro, shares his fan-favorite Cows & Bulls game
  • And our host Noah Jackson (@NoahJ), Principal Solution Architect at Anaplan, closes out the session with his build of the game of Blackjack

Chapter timestamps:

  • Battleship: 3:39
  • Rock, Paper, Scissors: 17:05
  • Cows and Bulls: 30:58
  • Blackjack: 42:13

Articles/resources mentioned during the event:

While those four individuals created incredibly fun games, there are many more to see too — both fun and useful ideas that we couldn’t fit into the hour-long event. Be sure to check out the Challenge blog post, and read about:

  • “Anaplanwich” dynamic sandwich builder by @JaredDolich

  • Arithmetic progression and determining the end term of a sequence by @Dikshant
  • Cricbuzz App for help setting up an online cricket tournament by @PulkitChawla

Seyma Tas, one of our presenters, had an excellent suggestion during the live event…. Before or after a project kickoff, challenge your team to work together to build a game! It can be a really fun team-building activity.
