Open, HighPublic8 Estimated Story Points

Description

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 interested in Wikipedia Games, I want a homepage for Games within the app, so I can see all of the games in one place, see announcements about new games, and play the archives of each game.

Requirements

Create cards

  • Create a games hub with our current game of “Which came first” that can support multiple games, each with its own section
  • For “Which came first” section, provide access to
    • Today’s Game
    • The last 3 day’s games
    • The archive
  • The “Which came first” cards should update status to reflect game status for today and the last 3 days
    • When a game has been played, display the score & completed status.
    • Opening a day that has been completed should lead to the splash screen with “Review results” / “Play the archive”
    • When a game has been paused, show an unfinished status. Opening a day that is incomplete should show the splash screen with “Continue today’s game”
  • If someone opens “Which came first” from the Games hub, and then exits, land them back on the Games hub
