Designed to create stronger connections between fans and their favorite sports, FLYP
Fantasy provides an engaging platform for users to interact with real-life events, athletes,
and brands.

How It Works
FLYP Fantasy currently offers a “Daily Fantasy” mode, where users can select athletes competing in live events and earn points based on their performance. Prizes range from monthly rewards to event-specific and public league-based prizes, making the platform as rewarding as it is fun. The app is entirely free to play. Users can also create customized private leagues, inviting friends to join in and compete for bragging rights. The platform fosters community engagement while celebrating the unique culture of action sports. Looking ahead, FLYP Fantasy plans to add additional dynamics to the products’ offering. Upcoming features include “Seasonal Fantasy” with athlete trading, a more interactive game style and additional ways for fans to stay connected to the sports and athletes they love.

Why It Matters
Fantasy games are known to increase fan engagement, encouraging players to follow events live. This dynamic has made FLYP Fantasy a natural partner for some of the biggest action sports events in the world, such as the Laax Open, World Skate Games, Stubai Freeski World Cup, and Munich Mash. By integrating with real-life competitions, FLYP Fantasy bridges the gap between the sports community and its fans, and offers a new way to experience action sports.

The Team Behind FLYP Fantasy
FLYP Fantasy was created by Philipp Kundratitz, a former professional snowboarder, and Yannic Sieben, previously the Marketing Director for Air + Style. With their extensive experience in action sports, they have a shared vision to make FLYP Fantasy as influential in this space as fantasy apps are for mainstream sports. Yannic is also the founder of Wyldata, the data provider for FLYP Fantasy. Wyldata collaborates with international organizations such as World Skate, FIS, World Snowboard Federation and FMBA, ensuring the app operates on a foundation of accurate, reliable data.

Athletes’ Stamp of Approval
FLYP Fantasy has earned praise from some of the top athletes in the action sports world, including Tom Schaar, Laurie Boulin, Valentino Guseli and Eli Bouchard. Their unanimous sentiment?
“Finally, fantasy has arrived in our sports!
