Case Study: Duolingo brings its in-app chess game to life with BAMKO’s fully custom manufacturing and global fulfillment

Duolingo launches a 100% custom chess set in 1 year with BAMKO

Duolingo wanted to create a premium, fully custom physical chess set that perfectly mirrored its digital game, but faced challenges in manufacturing, quality control, and international logistics while maintaining a moderate price point. They partnered with BAMKO for a custom manufacturing solution to bring this vision to life.

BAMKO engineered the entire product, managing complex injection molding for the pieces and splitting production across specialized facilities to meet quality and budget goals. The solution included a meticulously designed case and automated multilingual digital guide distribution. Following a year of development, BAMKO successfully launched the product globally by leveraging Duolingo's existing regional webstore infrastructure, allowing for seamless worldwide fulfillment.
