Trivia Crack: Payday

Trivia Crack: Payday is a competitive trivia mobile game where players can challenge each other in various game modes on the Skillz platform.

The goal of this project was to bring the Trivia Crack IP to the Skillz platform and offer Skillz players a new type of genre.

Work on this project started in Q3 of 2021, with a platform launch after 6 months. Since Q1 of 2022 the game has been live and has been receiving multiple updates.

My tasks and responsibilities in chronological order:

  1. Researching the Skillz platform, its audience, and competitors

  2. Designing a high concept of how the classic form of Trivia Crack can work on the Skillz platform, taking into account its guidelines and fairness requirements.

  3. Setting up the GDD in collaboration with Game Designers from Skillz and refining details of the design for the asynchronous game mode we wanted to put on the platform

  4. Monitoring the development of the MVP and communicating the progress to stakeholders and partners, while designing the synchronous game mode

  5. Checking game’s metrics after launching the first game mode and arranging AB tests we want to set up to reach benchmark metrics. Roadmap of AB tests included:

    1. A third game mode that is faster than the first one to increase number of matches played in a session

    2. Meta game features that can work on the Skillz platform to increase D7 retention

    3. Redesign of the FTUE to reduce churn in the first session

    4. A fourth game mode that offers a new gameplay experience that is more in line with successful titles on the Skillz platform
