Challenge Overview
NOTE - This challenge has a longer submission phase, a shorter appeals phase and a fixed reviewer fee.
Welcome to TI Mobile Nodejs Backend Assembly Challenge.
Introduction
The goal of this challenge is to build the Node.js backend API and database model for the TI Mobile app based on the provided architecture documents.
The goal of the app is to take the users deeper into the "World of Thoroughbred Racing" through interactive storytelling in a gamified environment (achievements). User will interact with stories based on their location and choices. We’ve already run challenges to build the native app prototypes for iPhone and Android
Workflow

- User enters the application being able to select an experience/story to follow.
- User begins the experience through the gamified ecosystem, having defined start and end goals.
- User moves through stories that contain tokens/rewards for completion, along with instructions on how to move forward to a next location.
- When user finishes the last story, gets the reward and is prompted with a return to menu/home option.
