Background

The current entry point for Wikitriva games is in the explore feed. FY 25-26 we will introduce new games and update the explore feed. With this in mind, the games needs a permanent entry point that will allow users to decide which game they want to play.

User story:

• As someone playing games from the "Which came first archive", I want to be able to leave the game, and have my progress saved, so that I can return to the game later on to finish playing in the same way I can for today's game.

Requirements

• Allow users to pause games in the archive
• Save user progress in archive games
• Users can open games from archive and be dropped back into where they were in the game in the same way they can do with Today's game
• Remove and no longer show Pause dialog when a user exits the game — saving progress is implied.

Designs:

Paused today's game, in game hub

Paused archival game, in game hub

Note: Remove and no longer show Pause dialog when a user exits the game — saving progress is implied.
