532 Design Limited, a new games studio based in Dundee, has launched a beta test for its groundbreaking fantasy sports mobile game, Crowd Legends™.
The studio, founded by Brian McNicoll, a veteran of the gaming industry and former founding team member of Dynamo Games, along with Simon Fraser, COO and experienced startup expert, is set to redefine the fantasy sports landscape.
Crowd Legends™ is a thrilling, innovative take on fantasy sports that allows players to test their football knowledge against ‘the Crowd’ – the collective wisdom of their fellow players.
The game will be available on iOS and Android, offering an engaging experience that combines both strategy and knowledge in a way that’s accessible to all. Whether a casual fan or a die-hard football enthusiast, players can build their ultimate legendary team, choosing from classic and current football stars.
The first release of 532 Design Crowd Legends™ focuses on football, and the company is inviting early adopters to sign up as beta testers to shape the future of this exciting new game.
Football fans have always debated who would make their dream team of legendary football players. In Crowd Legends™, they can bring that team to life, blending the best from past and present eras of the game.

Beta testers will be the first to experience this fresh and exciting concept in fantasy sports, helping 532 refine the gameplay experience and ensuring it resonates with fans around the world. By joining the 532 Design Crowd Legends™ community, testers will have the unique opportunity to contribute to the success of a local startup with big ambitions on a global scale.

Brian McNicoll, Founder and CEO of 532 Design, told SGN:
As a Dundee startup, we’re incredibly proud to launch this project from Scotland, a country with a rich gaming history. Our goal is to become a major player in the global fantasy sports market while staying true to our core values of ethical gaming practices.
Simon Fraser, COO and co-founder, added:
With over 12 years of experience in startups, I know how crucial community feedback is to shaping the best possible product. Our beta testers will have a direct hand in influencing Crowd Legends™ and will be an essential part of our journey as a new Scottish games studio.
532 Growing
The leadership team at 532 Design is further strengthened by Adam Pritchard, as Chief Gaming Officer, and Steve Cartwright, the Chief Financial Officer.
Steve Cartwright – a former partner at Henderson Loggie chartered accountants – has been actively involved with games studios since the earliest days of the games sector in Dundee. His extensive experience in financial management and the gaming industry is invaluable to the company’s growth and stability.
Adam Pritchard, Chief Gaming Officer, for 532 Design, said:
After meeting Brian and Simon a few years ago and offering advice on the Crowd Legends project from the sidelines, I was thrilled to start working more closely with them and the exceptionally talented team at 532 Design earlier this year.
Our shared passion – or perhaps tragic obsession – for football, along with their unwavering dedication to player-focused and ethical game development, made joining them a natural fit. Having spent the best part of 11 years in mobile gaming, predominantly with sports-focused First Touch Games Ltd and Stick Sports Ltd, I’m absolutely delighted to be back working in the genre I love, contributing to such an exciting project!”
