Addition of hints, leaderboard and arcade mode to trivia quiz

[zoneboy]

Introduction

React trivia game is a simple Android application that gives quiz. Users can choose from a number of categories, choose the number of questions, and difficulty level they want.

Components

My suggestion is on the

• gameplay interface
• landing page

Proposal

React trivia game is a great application with basic functions. Unlike other similar apps, it does not possess annoying ads that may affect user experience. However I believe the application can still be improved.

• Hint - I suggest the addition of a hint feature to be displayed during gameplay. This will help navigate some of the most difficult questions. Users should be allowed to either turn on or off the hint option. The hint feature will use a point system. The points for each hint will be from user score from previous quiz. If you got three questions right in a particular quiz you have three points that can be used to redeem hints point.
• Leaderboard - This is a feature that is lacking in the application. Part of what motivate users is seeing them rank higher than others in the leaderboard. The leaderboard will show rank of the users.
• Arcade mode - This is another feature that will greatly improve the application. The arcade mode is like a survival mode where a user will try to answer as many questions as possible within a defined time which is 60-seconds.

MOCKUPS/EXAMPLES

This is how I want the Hint feature to be functioning when implemented. You can see the hint shown during the gameplay.

This is the leaderboard showing the points garnered by different users.

The last one is the arcade mode and you can see the features that will make the application addictive.

Benefits

Hint - The hints feature will greatly improve the application. It will encourage more usage. Users can easily navigate through the difficult questions. The hint points are from the correct results. This means user we strive hard to play so many times to garner more points which they can use to redeem hints score. It will create a kind of addiction.

Leaderboard - Users are addicted to a game for many things but top of the list is trying to reach the top of the leaderboard. It creates a healthy competition. User want to have the bragging rights. Everyone wants to top the leaderboard and keep playing the game.

Arcade mode - This is another important addition. The arcade mode is a competitive mode and everyone want to answer as much questions as possible. It lead to healthy rivalry between friends which means more users trying out the application. The users can challenge one another to better the score and so on leading to more users downloading the application to check it out.

Conclusion

The addition of these features will greatly improve the application. It will increase the number of users utilising it on a daily basis.
