Give Me Trivia

Challenge

Film fans enjoy trivia, but there is not always a structured and social way to challenge friends around the movies they care about. I wanted to understand whether a dedicated movie-trivia app could turn that interest into a more active, repeatable game experience.

Contribution

• Surveyed casual film watchers, avid movie fans, and trivia players to understand how they already engage with movie trivia.
• Analysed the responses and used the findings to shape the first product concept around quizzes, challenge flows, and movie-specific play.
• Created the UX/UI direction and tested the concept with users to find where the experience felt useful, confusing, or underdeveloped.
• Refined the design after feedback, with users responding especially well to the quiz functionality and asking for stronger recommendations and social features.
• Started building a React Native MVP to test the design decisions in a real mobile product rather than leaving the work as static screens.

Outcome

The research confirmed a clear opportunity for a gamified, social, movie-specific trivia product. The project now gives me a concrete way to discuss research, mobile UI decisions, product iteration, and hands-on React Native development.

Next

• Keep refining the MVP so the main trivia loop feels fast, polished, and easy to repeat.
• Explore friend challenges, score-based play, and recommendation features based on user feedback.
• Use the working MVP to run another round of testing and turn the findings into a stronger product case study.
